    Bought one for my wife and I...I got the white one, she got the black one. Started reading through Stephen King's entire bibliography. Really loving it, and really loving the device. Great battery life and functionality. Highly recommended. If you are thinking about buying one, just do it. You won't regret it. And make sure to set up your local library digital account to rent books for free!

    The paper white has a great resolution, easy for the eye, small to carry in your pocket. The only reason I did t give 5* missing of buttons which would have been more user friendly.

    I own a Kindle HD and completely love it! But when trying to read in areas with a lot of light I kept getting a glare. With the paperwhite I have no more glare. Awesome!

    I love being able to read library books without a trip to the library as well as purchased and borrowed Kindle books on this gadget. It is incredibly easy to use. I had a few questions about how it works, but was able to find the answers easily on Amazon's site. Because Best Buy has brick & mortar stores, and price matches, I believe they are the best place to purchase this!

    I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I can read at night without my eyes bothering me. The built In light is an awesome feature. The screen looks just like the pages of a book.

    The paperwhite reduces my eyestrain from reading at night and I love this new tablet. It is better than the ipod 3. It balances the light with minimum eyestrain. Clarity on the text is amazing.In general it is a great product. I'll be using it for a long time.The font sizes are great. I have mac degeneration in my right eye the white background relieves the distortion

    I purchased this for my wife for Christmas and couldn't be happier. Wasn't sure if it would be as good as reading an actual book, but it has been great. Plus Amazon runs specials all the time so you can get digital copies of just about any kind of book you can think of for less than the actual cost of a paperback. Also, the battery life is great. Runs for weeks on one charge.

    The Kindle Paperwhite does the job it is supposed to do, but noticeably slower than the methods I have used previously (iPad, computer, phone). I think Amazon needs to bump up the processing power of this device to compete with other tablets and devices. I would recommend this to a friend, but with some reservation.

    The new paperwhite reaches the sweet point of price and specs. I'll not pay for the extra 80 bucks just for the page press.
