    I was familiar with the previous paperwhite lower res product that was fine. For the price it is a great reader. The new higher res standing side by side is an improvement. Would recommend.

    It's a good little ereader. It's small enough that it fits anywhere and the battery life is fantastic. I've charged it once since I bought it over a month ago. The transitions between pages is a little jarring and navigating the store is pretty cumbersome.

    I've had an older paperwhite for quite some time, and it was showing some wear and tear (scratches, etc) and decided to replace it. The higher res display is really nice!

    The Kindle Paperwhite is my go to reading device. I prefer it over my iPad and the Kindle Fire because it is easier on the eyes. My eyes get tired after a short time reading on any other device. This one is not nearly as taxing, maybe it’s the lack of blue light, I don’t know. Whatever the reason, I’m able to read more and for longer intervals with the Kindle Paperwhite.

    This is my third Kindle & each one has been excellent. My most recent purchase was the Paperwhite because of the built in light. I really enjoy reading with, especially in dark places.
