    The Kindle Paperwhite is awesome. It is much easier on your eyes than an iPad or even the Kindle Fire. I read more because it doesn't cause eye strain and I'm not distracted to look at emails or the internet. If you like to read magazines, books and newspapers this is the device to have. There is no better e-reader.

    I was attracted by the price of the base Kindle but in the end opted for the Paperwhite as it was illuminated and had rounded edges which felt more comfortable. Definitely worth the extra few dollars in my opinion. My local library offers free loans of ebooks which I have been taking advantage of. There are also many free books online - samples and classics with expired copyrights. Battery life is good and the device is lightweight. Even in bright ambient light you get minimal screen glare. I prefer this to a physical book which I never expected.

    The Kindle PaperWhite is a great device. It's easy to use and the size is very convenient. When I take it on a trip, it's like having a whole library with me. Compared with the Kindle App on my cell phone, I find the KindlePaper White a lot easier to use and the size is better. It's easier to read and it feels like a book.

    Bought this as a gift for someone skeptical to reading on a kindle, and they have really enjoyed it. Paperwhite makes it easy on the eyes and the opportunities for new reading material through Bookbub.com are a great match. Wasn't aware that it had the regular ads on the screensaver, but reluctantly paid the $20 to remove.

    They love kindle. Ease of downloading the books they love and the battery life is so long, they just love it. Kindle transformed the way people carry books (reading). This is a light weight kindle, excellent display and awesome battery power. I would highly recommend for kids/ family/ everyone who loves to read a lot.

    I can finally get back to reading thanks to my new Kindle paperwhite. It's small and lightweight along with a perfect anti-glare reading pane. This is my first e-reader and I love it. The paperwhite is a must as I have no eyestrain as I do when reading on regular computer screens. Intuitive and easy to use!

    The Kindle Paperwhite is my first ereader and I love it. It works as advertised and is very easy to navigate. I haven't tried it in bright sunlight yet but have had no difficulty seeing the screen in all other situations. It is lightweight and easy to hold. I have a cover on it which I find increases the grip.

    I love the Kindle Paperwhite. It's easy on my eyes, easy to read wherever you are, light in your hands, like holding a light paperback book. I've had a Kindle Fire for years and loved it. But, the Paperwhite is so nice and friendly I wish I'd bought it long ago. I highly recommend it for book reading.

    The Paperwhite is exactly what it is supposed to be...a right sized reader that rocks on the beach! Have had every Kindle version and finally can read one in the sun without squinting. Buy it and you will not be disappointed.

    My wife reads a lot of books and this Kindle Paper white is replacing a Nook. She needed to upgrade and have a built in light for reading. No more buying batteries for a clip on light. She is so impressed with her Kindle Paper White. Ease of use and bright screen for reading. Great product.
