    This Kindle Paperwhite is great. it stores plenty of books and has a screen that is easy to read. It is even easy to read outside in the sunlight. I also like how compact, light and easy it is to travel with.

    It is a great upgrade compare to the old Kindle. It is so much easier to read at night. The battery life is great. My wife likes to read in bed and we can have the light off, so I can go to sleep.

    I purchased the Paperwhite specifically because I want to be able to read in bright sunlight. I bought this around Christmas time so I have not been near a pool deck yet, but I assume it will do what it is advertised as. It has a six inch screen, a bit small for me, but I do like it. It's lightweight so you can put it in a handbag and not feel weighted down. The only thing I don't like is that the screen is black and white, not color like my Kindle Fire. That took some getting used to but I look forward to laying by the pool and reading a good book while getting some sun!

    This is my second Kindle Reader. Purchased the first one in 2011, but it was stolen this past Spring. So I purchase this Kindle Paperwhite. It is great No glare outside and it is easy to adjust the print size.

    I take my paper white reader every where with me. It fit nicely in my purse. I read all the time, even in the car where the sun is shinning in on it. I just love my paper white and wish I had bought one sooner.

    Back lighting is great. Much better than the shining light you pull out. The light on our old kindle could not be dimmed at night. Lots of cool new features!

    A great price and device that lets you read anywhere. Great if you don’t want to carry a ton of books around all the time. Also doesn’t hurt your eyes. Definitely worth the buy.

    My wife loves the fact that it feels like a book to her. From the weight of the reader to the brightness of the screen, it reminds her of reading a paper book. My wife is happy with the product so I gave it a 5.

    I love this thing. I had one of the original ones before I got this one and I love that one. So when I got this it blew me away. So many new functions still so reliable. And now I can read in the dark. Amazing.

    I originally had a Nook by Barnes and Noble which I enjoyed but the kindle is absolutely my favorite. It's easy to use and the perfect size. I also love that you purchase the books through amazon.

    Admittedly I was first taken back by how relatively slow e-ink was, having formerly done most of my reading on my kindle fire, but after a single reading session the benefits were clear. I absolutely recommend this purchase for anyone who reads for any reasonable amount of time, your eyes will thank you.

    My family loves the Kindle Paperwhite. Prefer to read on this more than the fruity tablet. Great for outside, so my dog loves it too!! Lightweight, easy to use, lots of books to choose from. No complaints.

    I've sat on my back deck and in the bright sunshine on a beach and had no issues seeing the print. Never thought I'd like an e-reader, only a real paperback book. But, I must say, I am sold. Very lightweight.
