    We bought our kids Kindles for long road trips and for reading at home. Kindle Paperwhite has been awesome for the kids and reading. I have also enjoyed loading my books and reading at night. A great investment for any reader in your home. Battery lasts forever and I love this...on road trips, no one is fighting for a cable & charger and when you read at home you can pick a comfy spot not worried about needing an outlet.

    I didn't expect it to be so little, however I ordered it online and I should have read the description on the screen size. Other than that, it has been really great reading and playing with it.

    This is my fourth Kindle; one was lost, but the other two simply died after a few years. I resent paying good money for something which such a short lifespan. A kindle is a great aide for readers who travel. How else to take dozens of books along? But I wish they were more long lived.

    Bought the Kindle Voyage and it had a yellow tint on the top half. Found out later this is a defect on most. Also, the auto light part I didn't like. Much happier with this, and it's cheaper.

    After having worn out one Kindle and discovered Kindle Fire can't be read in sunlight, I decided on the Kindle paperwhite. Infinitely readable and the light adjusts. I love the new Bookerly font

    I bought this for my wife. She had an older 1st gen reader from another company and the differences are astounding. Setup was easy and getting content could not be easier. The unit is light. Really light. Compared to an iPad it is truly air (pun). It works well in any light condition so far. The navigation is a little squirrelly and takes getting used to and there can be a slight delay after a press so that can take getting used to.

    I have resisted purchasing a Kindle for years - however, after carting around a HUGE book for several months, I decided to take the plunge and have never looked back. I miss being able to flip back and find a certain passage, however, the ease of always having multiple books with me - on such a small device - has been a game changer and I find myself reading more. I also love the ability to look up a word I don't know.

    It's like Reading a Physical Copy

    The back light on this Kindle is amazing. I truly do feel like I'm reading from a physical book. I also bought one for my girlfriend and we just sit together and read from our Kindle sometimes before bed. It's nice to know that I can also store so much content into one device. I am big fan of having physical copies usually, but the Kindle has taken that experience to a whole new level for me.

    I thought I was going to hate not reading a paper copy book. But to my surprise I do not mind it ar all. I do still like the hard copy book but it's nice to have the Kindle handy whenever!

    I bought it for my 12 year old who likes to read. Now she LOVES to read. Her mother and I are very happy, as one could imagine. The Kindle works great, and we love the backlit touch screen.
