    The Paperwhite provides backlighting so that it can be read in dark environments. It still has the same long battery life as the original. The software is pretty much the same. I gave up the Whispernet capability in upgrading, but haven't missed it much since I always have plenty of unread material already downloaded over Wi-fi.

    Yes, I use my Kindle to read books, but I especially like sending document Pdfs, such as my daily prayers, to my Kindle email account to be converted so I can view them on my Kindle. I also appreciate that it has built in lights and I can make the font larger - I don't need my eyeglasses! Perfect for my reading needs almost anywhere.

    I LOVE my Paperwhite Kindle. The convenience of this product speaks for itself. I can read and purchase books anywhere, anytime. When my husband bought me my first Kindle 9-10 years ago, I opened it up and wasn't too sure I was going to like it. Boy was I wrong! I will never go back to books. Best product ever, well worth the money.

    I'm not a big fan of bigger phones, but the screen and size are perfect for me. Texting is easier with the bigger screen, as my previous phone was a little smaller (I always put my phone in my pocket). Its a little cumbersome now in my pocket, but its functionality and features are a huge step up from the S7.
