    I really love the back light on the paperwhite. I upgraded from an old kindle keyboard with a lighted case - and I love having the backlight built in. I considered the Voyage, to get the page press feature, but am very happy with the touch screen.

    My best friend loved this kindle. She loves reading books and she certainly love this Kindle. She can read books anywhere she wants without having to carry her books individually. If you are a book lover, like she is, then you will love this.

    Kindle Whitepaper Reader is a replacement for my original Kindle. I like the fact that the Whitepaper has a back light so you can easily read in low light situations. Also, the non glare screen makes it so easy to read in bright sunlight.

    With the advent of technology, picking up and reading a normal book feels cumbersome. This device perfectly replicates real-life ink whilst providing an unobtrusive backlight and enhancing the books with extra information, dictionaries, and wikis.

    Best purchases I've made when it comes to items for reading. Battery lasts for days and weeks. The lighting source is awesome and adjustable. I recommend this to everyone who wants to have a book on the go but not carry anything too heavy.

    I own a Kindle Fire and an iPad and I have a hard time reading them on the beach due to the glare. This Kindle Reader is small enough to fit in your purse to take anywhere to read. Love it!

    I enjoy my Kindle reader so much that I bought one for my granddaughter. She loves to read and what better gift than a reader? My subsequent gifts for her will be Amazon gift cards to keep her reading. You can't buy a better reader!
