    Great lighting to read at night. Doesn't keep you awake like a regular tablet would.

    I got this Kindle to replace an old Kindle and a lost Ipad that I was using to read my KIndle books on. T his Kindle with the back lit screen combines the best of both Ipad and kindle..back lit but no glare in the sun

    Although I use a tablet for light websufing and gaming I very much prefer a dedicated reader for consuming books. The screen is clear in all lighting conditions. I can get any book I want instantaneously. And the battery lasts for weeks instead of hours.

    One of my favorite purchases! I just got back into reading and this thing makes it awesome! I thought I would miss the feel of a real book in my hands but I don't. The features and convenience of the paperwhite make this thing a game changer. BUY BUY BUY

    I researched different readers before deciding on the Kindle. I figured I may as well get something that will benefit from my Amazon Prime membership. I am soooo happy I did, I have done more reading since my purchase than I have done in over a year. Highly recommend!!!

    I held off for quite some time on buying this product being it seemed awful expensive for a tablet with only one purpose. I can now say Im glad I bought it. No more having to worry about reading on a bright sunny day and just in general seems much easier on the eyes.

    I had an original Kindle (wifi only) and loved it, however was limited when reading at night (I didn't want to have to attach a light or use a flashlight). The Kindle Paperwhite solves my dilemma! I would specifically recommend it for those who are frequent fliers.

    It’s been a while since I’ve had an E-Reader. I read on a Nook when they first came out and since I can read a book a day it left my eyes seeing grainy when I’d look up. I can read on this Lj file for hours and not have that feeling. Highly Recommend

    Great e-reader. Has an awesome battery life, great for traveling or hanging at home. So awesome to have thousands of books available to you. I feel like book prices on ereaders have been rising, and that's unfortunate. I have two at home and I love them though!
