    Love the Kindle. It even works great in the sun. With Kindle unlimited you also have access to many different books.

    This is a really great device, it's easy to use and see and of course comes without annoying advertisements. One really bad thing is that you can't upload your own books to the cloud thus making it a totally monopolistic device, the DRM is a real pain, wouldn't recognize books from my old reader bad Amazon! They are my books, I should be able to read them anywhere I like. Way too much messing to get access to my own property! Store and archive on your own server or PC and it's great though, but not everyone can set that up, nor should they have to! A monopoly device that tries it's hardest to only allow you to purchase from Amazon, is this legal?

    The lighting of the Paperwhite did not present any issues with glare - easy on eyes, even while wearing sunglasses outdoors.

    The text is easier to read and I don't have to have a light in order to read when the room light is dim or if it is dark.

    Works as intended. Great inexpensive reader very convenient for reading at home or traveling when don't have the extra space for books. The kids & I both use it and I can separate our books so they're not mixed together. The only downside is the lack of color, but I knew this going in - it's not the fault of the product. We lose out a little bit by not being able to see the color illustrations and book covers. When getting my kids to read, the colorful covers is often what draws them in.

    I have an older reader from another company that is not as lightweight as this, so I really appreciate the weight difference in this one. Definitely makes it easier to hold in my hand for longer periods. I also like the bright screen and the fact that it can adjust brightness depending on lighting conditions, and that it has backlighting for night reading. When we travel, we usually drive, so having something I can read when I'm not driving, even at night, is a definite advantage. The only thing I've found so far that I'm not crazy about is that when it changes from one screen to the next, it does this little "blink" thing where the screen blanks out before it refreshes with the new image. I find it a little distracting (my other reader doesn't do it), but I'm guessing it's something I'll get used to over time.
