Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had glitches and screen-touch sensitivity issues with the previous kindle ( the basic kindle) however, this is definitely worth the cost for an upgrade above it. Very user friendly and hassle free.

Is easy to use, great to look up words you don´t know as you go along. It´s also great that the light isn´t shone up into your eyes, it makes it so that they don´t get easily tired and they don´t hurt.

Let me set the stage for this review: I joined a book club this year and have started reading a lot... or at least what I would consider to be a lot, which is about 2 decently-long books a month. Up until buying the Paperwhite, I was doing most of my reading on my iPhone using the Kindle app. Long story short, I ended up returning the Paperwhite after about 2 weeks. Why? Because I realized just how sporadic my reading was. I read when I'm out and about, waiting at a doctor's office, or in-line at a restaurant, etc. It became overwhelmingly apparent to me that the best E-Reader is the one you have with you at all times. For me, that's my iPhone. The actual reading experience is definitely better on the Paperwhite. However, if you're an "on-the-go" reader like me, then it just means you have to carry around another device. Dedicated E-Readers are for people who either truly read a ton, or have a set routine for reading. If that's not you, then stick with your phone.

I'm very glad having this with me. In my country there are lots of books in Spanish that I'm not able to get. So this was perfect solution. It's incredible how similar to paper is. Battery super long!

we were happy to purchase this for a family member who is an avid reader. the paper white was easy to use, previous purchases were easily accessed, and it has been thoroughly enjoyed.

I am a bookworm. So this little device is a treasure trove for me. I now carry a veritable library with me at almost all times. Tales and adventures never more than a flip and a swipe away.

I would recommend the Kindle Paper White to anyone.

This product has allowed me to read more without my eyes tiring. The price was great and I liked being able order on line and pick my purchase up at a local store within an hour.

I love my new Paperwhite and it's reinvigorated my desire to read. The built-in backlight makes it so you can read in any condition. This is the best Kindle if you want bang for your buck.

Was pretty simple to use. User friendly and pretty lightweight.

I got the paperwhite as a replacement for my 1st generation Kindle. It has great features, but is still easy to use. I like that it is not backlit like a tablet, making it much easier on your eyes.

I had the 1st Kindle, but this one is much better!

Had a kindle before, needed new one. Like the size

I used a Kindle many years ago but didn't like the size or the weight or the lack of backlight. This solves all those problems. I find the screen is a little small for my vision. When I increase the font size t I need to turn the kindle page more times than a book page. But that's me. Otherwise, it does well, turns the page smoothly and is easy to use.

Needed something I could use in the sunlight and without too much glare in the dark. This unit fulfills both needs and it's easier on the eyes than the standard tablet.

I can't say how happy I am with this purchase. No worries of lighting, or holding a book open. All my books stored in this kindle which opens up lots of space in my home. Easy & light to carry.

It was one of the best purchases I have ever made!

I read a lot and this kindle just perfect for me. I used to read on my iPad but it hurts my eyes after couple hours of reading. Kindle has a paper like screen that help my eyes a lot.

I was hesitant since I also have a smart phone but it's well worth it. Love that it doesn't smudge or break as easily and is easy on my eyes even in the dark. Love the kindle share program

This is great ebook reader Simple interface and easy to understand. Web browser is not that great but it serves great purpose for what it is made
