    After using IPAD, it is weird to see flickers while reading on a small screen. However, it was recommended by a friend of mine who thinks it is easy on eyes. Battery lasts long and you can download work related pdfs to read later. (my main purpose to buy was to read docs offline) Redundant if you have kindle on ipad/other tabs.

    Great for outside reading. My iPad has been good too with the kindle app but can't see well in bright light. This fixes that.

    Love this device. No glare, lightweight, and portable. Make sure to get a case, the outside bezel tends to scratch rather easily.

    Got this for one of our employees. Works well and you can see the print well. Good point is that it's small and compact. Bad point is that it's small and compact. Easy to carry around, but more difficult to see words. Works great, though! Great price too!

    I've had two previous generations of Kindles, but always found myself longing for the old hardcover. No more... This is perfect for my needs. Can read outside or in a darkened room. For approximately $100, it can't be beat.
