    I love my Kindle paper white! The display is great in all light levels, you can adjust the font size, and it's small and lightweight enough to slide into my purse so I can read in any free moment!

    I got this for my Maui vacation, download ebook from local library and read it under sunshine in the beach. Great reading device under bright sun. Very user friendly device and highly recommend it

    Hands down the best. I had a nook for years and rarely used it. I have already read 5 different books on the kindle and it's a much smoother experience.

    Consistent with all the reviews this is a great product. No downside if you are anywhere of the mindset to use this type of device. Have a IPad mini and phone with the Kindle app but this is so much better

    Two improvements needed. Better browser, it is awkward to use to connect to library. Also want to see black background with white lettering for night reading

    This E-Reader does fantastically well when you're looking for a device that doesn't glare in the sun. The battery life is amazing. The only complaint I have would be the sluggishness of the operating system. It's by no means quick but if you read quite a bit it's worth the patience. Having the ability to send pdf files to the device is also very helpful.

    Didn't know how much I would like this but after trying to read on my tablet outside I decided to give this a shot. Love it, I can read in the sunlight or at night no problem, and the battery life is great

    Love the paperwhite! It allows me to read at night without having a light on and disturbing another person. It’s easy to use and a perfect way to store hundreds of books in a small space :)

    How to do - not easy to find. Needs quick cheat sheet to accompany the product. I didn't think I'd like the back light but I do. I don't have a computer so it's hard to go on line. I'm not sure if I like how the books are arranged, but I'm slowly learning how to navigate around them. I had one of the original Kindles so changes are sometimes hard for us older people.

    I enjoy this reader due to its large storage capacity for my growing library and the ability to navigate to a given location in no time flat. The bright but adjustable lighting is very welcome as well.

    I put off buying a Kindle for years because I wanted to read outside at the pool. The Kindle is so easy to read and use. Our public library has tons of ebooks to borrow. Sorry I waited so long.

    Great way to kill time at the pool waiting for your tan to cook. Is easy to read in the brightest sun. Would like to have better search engine for new titles.

    This is actually my second Kindle, as I left on a trip and forgot mine at home, and I didn't want to be without it! The paper white, wihich can be used outside in the glaring sun, makes it a huge winner for me!
