    My kids were very excited to open this e-reader on Christmas morning. They both started looking up books etc. Very easy to use, small enough to stick in your purse/bag but big enough to read like a book. Very happy with this purchase.

    I bought it as a present for my little sister. She loves it so much that when she got it she did not take her hands off of it and started reading right away! Such a good kindle.

    You really can't get much better than a Kindle for reading ebooks. The Paperwhite is great as it has a touchscreen and has a backlight for reading in just about any environment.

    When back light is off it's just like a paper. Very convenient for reading. For night, back light is so well done that still look natural.

    This kindle is the best investment for any avid reader! Unlike an iPad, the kindle can be read in the dark and outdoor easily as it has no glare and includes a built in back light which makes reading a breeze!

    I bought it over kindle HD for my kid to encourage his reading instead of internet/game addiction. He completed Harry Potter series in 3 weeks. What a good decision to but it.

    Perfect purchase for the avid readers in my family. Both my son and I enjoy using the Kindle. So much easier than carrying a book around especially when the book is a tome!

    Lost my older Kindle touch so needed to purchase a new one. Much the same as the old-which is good, not a hard learning curve. This one however now has the light, which is great. Very light in weight also. Definitely recommend.

    I like to have a book in my hand when I read, but needed an electronic book reader for our overseas trip. Kindle Whitepaper was great. will you use when I am eating since there is no pages to hold down like you do with a book.

    I had the regular old kindle before. But this came out and I bought one because you can read it in the dark since they added the backlight. I had one before and it was stolen so I had to get another one.

    This product was a replacement for the one my husband had which was an older generation. He loves the paperwhite, much easier to read in daylight, he does take it to work with him. He says it is overall better in many ways.
