Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had my Kindle Paperwhite for over a month now and I absolutely love it. The screen adjustment to match the room lighting is great and it is much faster and responsive than the older Kindle my wife has. It is so lightweight and comfortable to hold. One of the best parts is the battery last for weeks even with heavy use.

I purchased the paperwhite so that I could read in the middle of the night without disturbing my husband. It works like a charm, and helps me to fall back asleep faster. The different light settings are fantastic. I really love the dictionary look up feature too.

I originally purchased this as a gift for my daughter and quickly decided that I needed one for myself as well. For the price, you can't find a better screen on an e-reader. And the compact size makes it easy to take along with you anywhere. If you are thinking about the cheaper one, it's definitely worth the upgrade.

Exactly as advertised. Easy to read in the sun, no glare on the screen. GREAT battery life! I'm an avid reader and only have to charge once every few weeks. Love that the brightness is adjustable so I can read in bed after my husband has gone to sleep without bothering him. No strain on your eyes without a light on.

Bought this as a gift- wish I would have known that I needed a do version to get rid of the ads! Several years ago just paid when it was convenient to get rid of ads but doesn’t seem to work that way now- but still is liking it anyway

I bought this to replace a Kindle Fire for my mother. She is losing her short-term memory and kept getting lost on the Fire. This is much easier for her to use. I have owned one myself for several years and I love its ease of use and the self-lit screen. The Paperwhite is a well made device and I recommend it to everyone.

I originally bought a regular tablet to read my Ebooks but my tablets battery drained to fast and is kind of cumbersome. On a whim I decided to give the paperwhite a go and I love it. It's glarefree the battery lasts for three weeks and I like being able to highlight a characters name in a novel and get background info on who it is.

My second kindle. Paper white is really as good as old with advantage of being able to read in bed without needing extra light.

I own a business in finance and need to read a lot on varied subjects. the kindle enables me to find referenced books and download them in a few seconds. I haven't tried but apparently you can even upload your own pdfs. The fonts and screen resolution and lighting are extremely pleasant, and it is easier to hold than a book. I removed 1 star because the highlighting and note taking systems can get laggy, images are sometimes hard to zoom on, and you can't copy paste a quote. But overall because of the access and convenience it offers I highly recommend it.

It's really nice it doesn't slip from your hands easy to hold and doesn't fell heavy the screen is nice and clear

After your initial kindle library download, the battery should last 2-3 weeks with the backlight close to the highest setting.

I bought this Kindle Paperwhite for my wife. I have always loved the Kindle products. This is her first Paperwhite and we are incredibly pleased with it. Very lightweight, the touchscreen aspect doesn't get in the way of things, and the backlight doesn't compromise the e-ink quality of feeling like reading on paper.

Does not strain my eyes when reading! Great for reading at night and doesn't require an extra light or anything.

I got the Kindle Paperwhite to read on the beach. The screen is easily read in the sun. The compact size is nice for travel too.

Best e-reader out there... battery lasts forever and no distractions from other apps like on the color version.

Great ebook reader and it is currently the best in the market. Nice and easy to read with the internal light.

I have a tablet, but needed a reader that I can read in sunny locations and not worry about loosing and expensive item. This Kindle is perfect to carry everywhere, light and convenient the screen is smaller than I anticipated but not bad for the price.

The Paperwhite makes it possible to condense a lot of books in one small device, thereby saving your house from looking like a warehouse. You can pack a lot of books into your suitcase with a Paperwhite. If your device gets stolen, lost or trashed, you may lose a substantial portion (or all) of your personal library. The Paper white allows you to increase size of print Big Advantage. Use of hand gestures to turn page allows faster reading. It's awkward to hold, lying in bed. An attachable gripper would be helpful to hold and read at same time

Best E-reader on the market. Screen is crisp and clear and everything just works great

The Kindle paperwight is a great lightweight alternative to my usual 10 inch e-reader tablet for travel and reading outside.
