    This is to replace an older one. This new one has a longer battery life and because it is back lit I can read in bed at night without keeping my wife awake. But maybe the best feature is I can read in direct sunlight without a problem, like at the beach.

    I bought this for my wife who wanted it more for travel. Ideal for airplane travel and works well with cover on the beach as well. She even uses it a lot in the home.

    I already have an ipad but never felt like it was made for reading so I checked this at the store and love how it made me feel. Feeling like reading a real book but you also have some features as it's an e-reader. Enjoy carrying it in backpack/purse, light weight with perfect small size.

    Being a first-time kindle user, I am in love with it. It's lighter than a paperback. I am reading a lot as I can bring it anywhere, and the back light feature is a plus (I doze off while reading every night, better than watching videos). Highly recommend.

    I replaced my old Kindle with this one. The pull out light on the old one had been damaged by my grand son. This Kindle is so much smaller, lighter and the lighting makes it much easier to read. I got the cover that makes it look like a small notepad since I was traveling to Guatemala.

    I have been reading on a paperwhite for a few years now. When it got damaged I just went right out and bought another. It's light, easy to see without my reading glasses, since I can change the font, and it's great for reading outside, even in full sun. It's worth every penny.
