    Best Kindle Yet

    This is my 3rd Kindle. My first one was the original. I didn't like the side bevel page turner because I would accidentally press it from time to time. My second was a Touch. I like it. I still have it, but the lighting options for it either left a hot spot on the screen (bright spot not literally hot) or didn't light it enough when reading at night. This one is perfect on the lowest setting. It's plenty bright and it's much faster than my first Kindle.

    The PaperWhite was the perfect upgrade to my older Kindle that required a light in order to read in low light conditions.

    My wife is an avid reader and used her phone for everything. Aside from all of the advice about the blue light disrupting her sleep, the light from her phone kept me awake. This eliminates that issue for both of us and provides her with a bigger viewing area. The controls took some getting used to but once it was synced she was off and reading. Only update I would suggest for future models is to change the charging port to USB C to match current phones.
