    If you like to read books, I totally recommend this product. I love reading books and the kindle paperwhite really helps. I used to read books on the iPad all the time but it would strain my eyes. After reading all the reviews I decided it was finally time to get a ereader. Since I had my iPad already I just needed one to strictly read books, so I got the paperwhite. It is so nice to read from especially in the sun. It's almost like reading from the actual book. It's the perfect size to read in one hand and stores so many books, even some for my child. It's also great for traveling. I have all my books on hand no matter where I go. There are only two cons to the paperwhite. One is that the touch screen is not that receptive as compared to an iPad. At times it doesn't register my swipes or taps. The other con is that it's only black and white. It really isn't a problem when I'm reading, just for the children's books.

    This is helpful if you read for more than 30 minutes. I have personally noticed that after 6hr reading, I have no headache or strain in my eyes. Also battery life is unlimited. Charge it once for a couple of hours and your are good to go for 2 weeks of extensive reading.

    This is the second Kindle Paperwhite that I have bought. The first is now in use by another family member. I truly enjoy reading with this e-reader. Is it easy to adjust text size and brightness, depending on your needs and room lighting.
