    I love this. I can still read on it in the full sunshine at the beach, And in bed with lights so I don’t wake my wife. BTW...I have over 650 books on it and I can put it in my pocket. I wouldn’t have room in my house for that many books.

    We bought two Kindle Paperwhites and we just love them! I love the size and portability of them. One of them was for our kids so that when we travel we don't have to bring a bunch of books in the car, it's all on one little device and frees up so much space in the car!

    I had an older kindle that I still love but it didn't have the backlight. This one is lighter weight and has the backlight making it perfect to carry with me everywhere I go. So delighted that my husband thought to get this as a Christmas present for me to enjoy!

    Love using this. So easy to download and find books, so easy to store, the battery life is amazing. It's like reading a book without the hassle of the space, being able to look up words while reading it amazing. The only thing I wish is that I had gotten one sooner!

    I loved me previous Kindle but always had to keep light on to read in the dark. The backlight on this makes it so much easier to read in the dark, it's not too bright and battery goes for about two weeks. The resolution is higher too, font looks crisp and sharp.

    The device is lightweight and with great battery life. It's also quite durable. I love the color and the back-light, that the base one doesn't have. So if you love reading in the dark, you should buy this one instead of the base model.

    Paperwite is easy to hold, as I have weak wrists. Light weight and so easy to turn pages. Books download in seconds. With the light it is great to be able to read anywhere. Very small so it fits in my purse or a large pocket. I thought it would be hard to read because of it`s size but you can enlarge the letters to suit yourself. Enjoy the compatibility of this little jewel. It`s Great, don't hasatate to buy yours as you will be very pleased.

    Much easier on the eyes than a regular tablet and long battery life. You'd think it could be priced at the level of an inexpensive tablet seein how it's pretty much dedicated as a reader, but it is what it is and it's a good product for those who enjoy readin.

    I love the Kindle Paperwhite!! It allows you to read in any type of situation. You can control how bright or dim the backlight is. You can also turn the backlight off to save battery when you're in a well lit area. It's got plenty of space for hundreds of books.
