    I always wanted to have a kindle to have a book like experience and have my eyes of the laptop and this served the purpose really well. The in-build light is adjustable making it good for a night read

    I already have one of these that I had bought for Christmas. I bought this one for my grandmother because she loves to read just as much, if not more, than I do! She LOVES it! And the user interface is super easy to use so she has no trouble at all working it! She tells me all the time its the best gift she has ever gotten! If you are thinking about buying one DO IT! Its worth every penny and more!

    I love that I can read outside in the sun, and I have access to so many books in one, lightweight spot. Battery lasts long too! Didn’t realize I need a separate device for audible book access, but overall this is well worth the $$.

    Not quite as easy to navigate as my old Kindle. If I press on a word to look it up sometimes I'm not able to return to where I was. Also, I have not had an instance where highlighting a character name and using x-Ray gives a description of the character; it only skips to references of the name that are contained in the book. In spite of these few shortcomings I think it's a great product.

    The resolution and contrast of the screen are excellent but the real selling points are how easy it is to read in natural light including bright sunlight and the battery life. I have only charged it once since I got it about 3 weeks ago.

    This is my third kindle. I love the built in light. My first was bitten by my sister's dog (leather case) and my second wore out. I also like that I can use the Kindle app on any device and pick up where I left off.

    I upgraded to the Paperwhite from an older Kindle. It's definitely an improvement over my last one and it brings some modern technology to a familiar user interface. You can't really beat what you get for the price.

    My original kindle keyboard died after four years. I spent the day looking at reviews online and asking friends about theirs. Went out that night and made my purchase. Love it! Wish I'd retired the other one sooner.
