    I had a Kindle Color before. It was great, but the White Paper is way better. You don't need a light on to see the print. I use it a lot on airplanes

    I was previously using a first gen Nook e-reader. This is crisper, faster, and MUCH better battery life. Plus it goes on sale every once in awhile.

    The Kindle Paper White is the perfect gift for anyone. My mom had the original Kindle and it recently broke. When I was looking for a new one for her I looked at other Kindles and e-book readers. I wasn't a fan of the Nook and the Kindle Fire is great, but she wanted something simple just to read so she didn't need the internet connection. After playing with the Paper White in the store I decided it was perfect for her. She is not the best with technology, but after I showed her how to use it once she was able to use it on her own. Great gift for anyone!

    The Kindle Paperwhite is sleek. I like that it's small and the screen is good on the eyes. It's a little expensive but a nice tool to have if you read a lot.

    Even with decreased vision, I can read this, and at night. The backlight is so helpful. Relatives who use this recommended it. Geek Squad were helpful in teaching me how to use it, since this is my first reader. Fits in my small purse and is so wonderful to have while waiting somewhere.

    I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money on this item since I already had a kindle fire. It took a while to get used to. It doesn't have as many options as the kindle fire but ironically it has less reading distractions. No glare and battery really lasts.
