    The paper white is much better than the older ones and I love the light for night reading. The light doesn't bother anyone else.

    I have had several versions of Kindle in the family. Paperwhite was a good upgrade. It is much easier to read but that's old news now.

    This is a great device for reading books. I was using a Tablet for that but the screen on this is far easier on your eyes for long extended use.

    It's a great product, but giving the price, you can find the same thing in the form of a cheap tablet that does more. Still a solid product tho
