    i was a little concerned how small it was, but the size is perfect. the back lighting is great for when it is darker plus it works well in sun light as well. the touch page turn is easy.

    This was a gift for my daughter. She loves it. It’s great if you are sitting in the sun or the shade. Very easy to read. And it fits perfect in a purse and not heavy

    My wife was getting frustrated that she couldn't see the screen on her Nook Samsung Tab 4 when she would be on the beach or out in the sun, both places she wants to read. After comparing reviews of the Kindle and the Nook Glowlight Plus, she chose the Kindle and has been quite happy with the decision. She gets most of her books from our library with Overdrive and has had no problem with downloading them from Amazon. The Kindle is light and holds and feels like a book. She added a cover off Amazon so it turns on and off when it is opened/closed. She likes being able to read out on our deck or in the sunroom just as easily as she does inside.

    Pros: I got this Kindle for my son to use while traveling. The backlight feature is good for reading at dark places. The device has great battery life as well. Cons: Not as thins as the latest Kindle Voyage. The screen response is just a tad bit slow. Some of the children's e-books on Amazon are not compatible with this device.

    I wanted a digital something for store my book on. I'm am an avid reader, when time permits, but I hate toting around my books. Losing my bookmark is irritating. With my new Paperwhite, I never have that problem, and I can even carry around more than one book! I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite!

    Loved the original Kindle but after dark, I needed a light source. With the Paperwhite, and the adjustable back light, it is so easy to read anywhere, any time. The variable fonts help when I get tired and need to increase the size of the font for easier reading. I would happily recommend this Kindle Paperwhite to all.

    I got this for a Christmas gift for my daughter. This is the second one I have gotten for her.The first one is starting drop words and she has to download books several times in order to finish reading. She diid a lot of research before she asked for the Paperwhite. I am sure she will love it.o

    The kindle paperwhite is absolutely a perfection. It is perfect for just picking up a book and instantly starting where you left off. The lighting is so realistic it feels like you're just reading real paper. Definitely a bargain.

    I haven't used it myself but my friend says she loves it. She had an off brand reader and just hated it. This one is easier to use and easier to read on her eyes.
