    I got this as a Christmas present. Had wondered if it really was so easy on the eyes and good in different lighting. Much better than I had hoped!

    Much better than my original Kindle. Lighter and easier to read. The old Kindle served me well and I won't retire it but it;s newer version is good.

    I bought this for my wife and she loves it. Lighter in weight, no glare. The white background is easier to read than the previous model she had.

    It’s one of my favorite devices! Has a great back light so I can read in the dark, and is affordable, so I can spend more money on books!

    The screen is cool. Much better than the basic kindle. Very similar to the kindle voyage. If you want a really reading experience, you need a kindle.

    Nothing can replace the feeling of holding and reading a physical copy of a book, but Amazon Kindle definitely is the next best substitute...

    The biggest reason to buy this item is the convenience and battery life. On those two items the kindle delivers. It is not as paper white as I would like. It does lag a bit but overall if you are a book lover this will be a good add on for trips and when you want to read outside.
