    She initially didn't think she would like it as she preferred reading an actual book. She changed her mind after a couple of days and now really prefers it. Easy to use

    Daughter Loves It

    Daughter, 8 yrs old, was starting to go thru books quickly and graduating to 2-300 page books. With my Amazon Prime membership, you also get a large selection of books available for free download... saving big bucks. Device is light weight and has a long battery life. If you have an Amazon prime membership and a reader in the house, this devise is a no-brainer and will pay for itself.

    Bought this for my wife who swore she would never give up paperback books. Now she uses this one all the time. It's the perfect size to fit in her purse for trips too.

    Have tried using an iPad and other devices for reading, I was worried this would not work for my needs. Light as a book, even lighter, I don't mind laying in bed or reclining on the couch to read anymore. Good for reading heavier books that would cause arm strain to hold while reading. Bright at night enough to read with the lights off but not bright enough to bother my wife who is sleeping

    Love this newer version of an e reader. I had a Kindle Keyboard and loved it. I finally wore it out after 5+ years. This Kindle is even better as you can read at night.

    Exactly what was expected, easy to read, portable, good battery life. Has adds which are annoying but do not interfere with reading. Not idea for reading Manga or comics but works well enough.

    The Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader of them all. You can not beat the quality of the screen. It is the same resolution and ppi as the more expensive model of Kindle the Kindle Voyage. The only issue you may have is the limited storage capacity of 4GB, but that's the standard storage for most e-readers.

    I've loved books all my life but I decided to try the Kindle Paper White. It's even better. Easier to hold, easier to read, holds hundreds of books. The only negative is that the time needed before recharging is much less than they say. It's 4 or 5 days tops but that's still not bad.

    It's comfortable to hold in my hands, the screen is pleasing to look at and doesn't cause eye strain, the backlight allows me to read at night without being blinded, graphics are crisp when I read a comic, and the long-lasting battery doesn't induce charge anxiety. Also, as a nice surprise, there are countless books, free to borrow via Kindle Unlimited, because I'm a Prime Student member.
