    It really feels like you’re reading paper, it’s not heavy at all, basically the best thing for any reader, you can travel and bring different books with you and doesn’t need that much space. I love it.

    I purchased the reader for my wife to replace her old reader. The old reader was the 1st edition. The paperwhite is amazing. It is much lighter and the page is much clearer. My wife is an avid reader and really loves her Kindle.

    This kindle is great for reading in bright light, especially if you're on the beach. I recommend getting a case for it since it can scratch easily. Very lightweight and easy to carry. Price wasn't too bad either since it was on sale.

    The witchcraft here is in fine form. It looks *just* like you're reading a paper book! The screen isn't glossy and doesn't feel like glass. The charge lasts so long that I lose the charging cable between plug-ins.

    I love this kindle. You can read clear in bright sunlight and it's so easy to carry around. The letters are crisp and easy to read. It's just like holding a book but without the curling pages. You will not be disappointed.

    The paper white kindle has been amazing both in its function and ease of use. The backlit screen is a major improvement over previous models and the display provides an easy to read surface. The internet capability makes it simple to download your favorite books and the overall quality of the device is impressive. This is by far the best electronic reader I've used to date. I am a huge Amazon fan and they have been my primary source of products search and purchase for a number of years. With Best Buy's price match gaurentee, it's the absolute best of both worlds. I get instant pick up, in person product testing, customer service and the best price in town. Extremely happy with this purchase! So much I purchased another for the wife.

    I bought this as a birthday gift for for my daughter. It's lightweight and thin so she can take it just about anywhere she goes. I'm glad I spent the extra for the backlit version, as she likes to read in bed before going to sleep.
