Customer Ratings & Reviews

this specific e-reader was appealling to us because we didn't need that extra "water protection" feature in Oasis and or extra few LED lights and auto-light detection for auto-brightness for hundreds of $ more. this is what you need for reading without hurting your eyes too much - a protective feature that's only available in kindle readers. one flaw of all of kindle e-readers is that you've to experience a flash of random parts of your screen as you choose a different function, click a hyperlink, and or do that moves to a different mode/ screen. but in reading mode, that doesn't happen!!! so you're good. I highly reccommend the PaperWhite over ther other models of Amazon Kindle readers.

I have been reading on a tablet with the Kindle app. Worked great and really got hooked on e readers. However living in Florida I could not read outside. Purchased the Kindle Paperwhite and problem solved. Really like my Kindle. Haven't used the tablet since the purchase.

It is fun to read with the dictionary and footnote at your finger tip. The key benefits is the easy reading with the background light, would not drain your eye after hours of reading. Ordering books from Amazon is easy and cheaper than buying the hard copy. Love it!

I bought black for myself and white for my wife. The e-ink technology is amazing.

Not much to say as this is a wonderful reader, probably best yet. Bought 3 as gifts this year.

This is an improvement over the old Kindle. Have had it for a couple months and it works great.

Like that I can choose to get books from Kindle or I can borrow books from my local library.

Bought as a gift for my Grandson and he loves it. Easy for an 8 year old to use

I've had the product for over 6 months now. No problems, great picture even in the sun, great battery life.

Make sure you have amazon prime with this. There are lots free books with prime

This is my third Kindle and use it daily for pleasure reading and a Bible study

was able to replace with new, with my warranty. This is is little better than the first one

My husband purchased this for me for Christmas. I was only reading paperback books because the screen hurt my eyes. This device is so easy to read on and I can adjust the backlight to my liking. I absolutely love this kindle.

Just the right size for reading. Backlight great for low light reading or no light. Quick book downloads. Kindle lending library is also cool If you're a prime member. You can also e-mail yourself a PDF to the device which is sent to an email assigned to the same.

This is the second one. I like it very much. I will recommend it to my friends.

Very good ebook reader. I like it very much. I become reading book every night.

I Love my new kindle! Is perfect, this model is The best

This is my 4th Kindle. I also have the Voyage, but I prefer the Paperwhite. I don’t really like the side press on the Voyage. I much prefer to swipe. I like that the Paperwhite is a little thicker. It’s more like holding a book. It’s my go to Kindle.

This is the best e-reader I have tried. The back light gets bright enough to where you can use it comfortably indoors and outdoors. The battery life lasts weeks before it needs to be charged. The text is sharp enough that picture and text look sharp on it

I did my research, and this was the tablet I wanted. It was a smooth transaction. The only thing was that I couldn't purchase it "without special offers" from anywhere other than Amazon direct. I opted to purchase it from Best Buy "with special offers" because of the price. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could choose to have the "special offers" removed after purchase. I had to pay additionally for this option, but it could be done. None of the reviews I read mentioned that this was possible. I suppose this could change this at any time, but at the time I am writing this, it is an option.I saved delivery time by purchasing at Best Buy and paid minimally later to have the special offers removed.
