    I love the Amazon Paper White Kindle. I can take it anywhere and it's my entire library at my finger tips. I can read at night, in the glaring sun and even in the constant changes of the outdoor light. This is the perfect reader for on the go.

    I had a lot of eye strain issues when trying to read off of my i-pad and I just couldn't get comfortable while reading a book in bed. This purchased changed everything. I am now going through 4-5 books a month and I am doing so cheaply.

    This was an upgrade from my original Kindle. I love the backlight screen! Even though the device is smaller than the original Kindle, I'm somehow able to read the font without my glasses. The battery life on this model is much longer too.

    I was on the fence between this kindle and the Oasis, but this one definitely does the job and did not break the bank. Since I got it, I have only charged it once! The battery lasts a long time and it's so easy on my eyes.

    I wanted a reader that was lightweight and easy to use. (Not a big fan of complicated tech.). The Kindle is perfect - when I travel, I can carry many books in a tiny machine and it took seconds to understand how it worked.

    I enjoyed reading on my old Kindle for many years, however I cracked the screen. I didn't want a tablet because I like how the readers are lighter and easier to read. I read all the reviews for the Paper white. It meets all my needs and is even better than the first edition Kindle. I love the higher resolution. It's easy on my eyes so I can read for hours. Great storage also.

    I wanted one for quite a while, caught it in Dale and I am very pleased with it. The battery lasts longer than my kindle touch from several years being able to adjust the back ground light makes reading enjoyable in low light. Glad I bought it
