Customer Ratings & Reviews

Operating system is snappy and the feel of the screen is nice. The white is pleasant to look at and blends well with the screen.

Christmas gift for a family member. They love it. It was easy and quick to set up for them. It will be practical to use at home and to travel.

I love this paper white! It's light weight, easy to use, and the battery lasts for a very long time with use. I only wish it were cheaper, but the price wasn't bad.

Love my kindle. Very user friendly. Traveled for Thanksgiving and it was so nice to just take my kindle and not several books.

The kindle paperwhite is excellent for readers. Nice, crisp print. Able to adjust the font size. All your books in one place.

I have a older kindle.. It dosent have a back light. My old one still works great but I wanted the back light. Love my new paper white kindle..

I was a little skeptical about reading books on this device, thinking it wouldn't feel like reading on paper. I was wrong. Very realistic.

got this because where i work we are not allowed anything with a camera.this was perfect,can read for hours with little strain on my eyes.

I was looking for a reader that I could use outdoors and found this device to be excellent outdoors. The battery life thus far has been excellent. It took some adjustment going from my Kindle fire to the Kindle paperwhite. Overall I am very happy with this new device.

My GF got me mine for a birthday present and I just got her one for hers. Great for international travel. It's like carrying a dozen books.

Very good to see on nite. I love it thanks Pedro on Best Buy if south beach for take ur time to explain me. Thanks Best Buy

Easy to read and the books are easy to download and less expensive than paper books and save on the storage space that paper books require.

Bought this as a gift for grandson who loves to read. Easy to set up and easy to use. Love it.

Reading paper books makes me sleepy, after only 8 pages! Reading on the Kindle Paperwhite is fantastic... read 65 pages non stop! Love it.

I'm glad that I did purchase this Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite - Black. It is really easy to use.

This ereader is honestly the best that I could have bought for my first one. Now, I don't actually read often but wanted to buy something to help me read what I do have within my kindle account. I was stuck between getting this and the original kindle. Thankfully, I got this. Mostly because of the textured screen and backlighting. The backlight is what did it for me. I read reviews about the original kindle being hard to read in the dark, and that's when I would be reading the most. If I had seen how hard it really as to read, it would have gone back immediately. The weight is a little heavy for constant reading but nothing to really complain about. The battery life could supposedly last 8 weeks. But, apparently I am a bookworm. I have to charge it every other day with max settings. One thing I am thrilled the most about is the easy of accessing a dictionary or encyclopedia, the notes, and the highlighting. It tells you when others have highlighted other sections of a book I am reading as well. Im not sure if this is in general a feature of the kindle products, but it is extremely useful. Overall , I think this is a great ereader for beginners and bookworms.

This is my second Kindle as I updated from a previous model. This is lighter more comfortable to hold and the internal light is amazing.

Never thought I would love an ebook so much. I was always a “real book” person - especially hardback books. Since getting my Kindle I have read SO MUCH MORE. Just love it - take so many books with me everywhere I go. We bought this Kindle as a backup to my original (same model except color) and we share within the family.

The Paperwhite itself is a very nice design and the size makes it portable and easy to hold. The fact that you will be purchasing books from Amazon makes it all the better. Many, many discounted books for 99 cents to 5 dollars. Well worth the price of the reader. Was just on the beach in direct sunlight and no problems whatsoever.

Bought this Kindle because I could not read my older one in the sunshine. This fits the bill.
