    I’ve had several kindles. They just keep getting better & better. This one is easy to use & lightweight. I rarely read a hard copy book anymore. Ebooks allow me to carry several wherever I go, to highlight passages, & best of all to look up unfamiliar words & places without losing my place.

    Got this for my daughter that is entering 6th grade. Not only is she reading more, but reading more complex books and expanding her vocabulary tremendously with the word "look up" feature. Screen is free of glare and looks much like a paper book as the name implies. Great for learning and recreational reading.

    This was the perfect present for my daughter who reads constantly. The paperwhite is easy on the eyes and with the public library's Overdrive just about any book she ever desires to read is free. This kindle is the best size for a small purse and will even read to you. Best gift of the year!

    I never thought I would make the switch from actual books to electronic media but I don't regret it, not for one minute! With all the free books I have already downloaded I will be reading for a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ong time!! I'm adding new books every day and the options are endless! And....I don't have to have the light on at night to read in bed anymore! Love, love, love my Kindle!

    I love my Kindle Paperwhite. It was easy to set up and I have absolutely no complaints. I reviewed different e-readers and decided on the paperweight because I could read it outside with no issues. I have tested it in the bright sun light and had no problem with any glare. Even with the sun shining directly on it.

    I love my Kindle! I wanted something simple to use for digital books and this was perfect. Great size that fits easily when traveling. Only thing I don't like are the ads but after a couple days they don't bother me as much now. The ads are just there when u turn the screen off.
