    Love the paperwhite! no glare- easy to hold. The built in light is also great for night reading. I had the Kindle app on my Galaxy tablet but never used it because of the glare.

    I bought this to replace my "old" Kindle Paperwhite which I wore out. That poor old thing had been through the wars and kept on going. I can not complain about a device that lasted for several years. It was used daily, shoved into a purse without a case or cover, and had been sat on by people and cats,. The only thing I wish would be that the charging cable supplied had the wall plug to go with the USB cable.

    SO i got this as a christmas present for my Girlfriend. The added light is big so she can read anywhere. The only negative was that I guess it doesn't have the Wifi integration? not like using your own but the free service? i'm assuming it's over cellular? It was on sale and just great for the price.

    This is a replacement Kindle of one that I had received as a gift several years ago and the improvements from the earlier model to the one today are fantastic.

    I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO YOU. This product is really light and portable. You can carry it to café or library for reading. There is no harm to your eyes because of it specific technology. The only drawback is that it will flash when you turn the page. But this is the common problem for this kind of reading stuff. I think it is acceptable. I bought on the price of 99 with a 25 discount. So it really worth it.

    Find it useful on trips, screen is bright and font sizes are controllable. But I find it difficult to review pages that I have already read when there is a pause of time in reading.

    This is perfect for my needs. I love reading, and can do it in low light situations now. This Paperwhite replaces one I lost in Europe on my last trip. Can't be without one.

    I used a Nook reader for several years but got no customer service when I needed anything. The Kindle customer service is truly first class and the reader is a quality item.

    This is my second Kindle. My first was the basic model. This one is so clear and easy to read even in daylight. I love that I no longer need a light to read at night in bed.
