    Had the kindle 7th gen with no backlight and upgraded to the paperwhite. Was one of the best decisions I've made. You don't even notice that there IS a backlight because it blends in so well, and compared to the 7th gen is a night-and-day difference. Buy this, you will not regret it.

    I purchased this Kindle for my hubs for his birthday. He likes that it is lighter than my older Kindle. The price was right. I did return the cover; way too expensive for what you get, and it wasn’t conducive to reading as it continually tries to snap shut.

    I purchased this as a gift, but have owned three myself. Hands down the best reading experience. I LOVE my Kindle! That said, this version of their software lost some functions in terms of listing and collections that I really miss. Improvements always have a price, I guess.

    We still have one of the original Kindles, and the upgraded features on the new Kindle are great: being able to change the brightness, able to read it in the dark, seeing page numbers in addition to % completed. This Kindle seemed easier to use and more intuitive than the original.

    I have enjoyed my Kindle Paperwhite very, very much. It is an excellent eReader for me as my eyesight isn't what it used to be and the backlight really helps is keeping the text readable especially in low light situations. It was a wonderful Christmas present from my dear spouse.

    Bought this e reader for my son who loves it. After being on computers all day it is great to be able to relax and read on the flat paperwhite screen. Wi-Fi great so you can download book almost anywhere. Comfort of a real book with technology to assist with purchases. Best combination !
