    Amazon does its ecosystem well, but these models lack audio support.

    Perfect size, not to small or not to big. The built in light really helps. Great reader if just reading you are looking for.

    love the Kindle paperwhite. It is so light weight but best of all I can read outside. The light also allows reading at night and does not bother my spouse. Only problem I do not like the case I purchased online and no covers at best buy or target

    Love my new kindle. The backlight is a huge improvement over the previous kindle, but it's not an automatic backlit and must be adjusted by the user depending on the situation. If you're looking for an auto backlight, go for the Kindle Voyage.

    If, like I, you own an earlier generation Kindle that isn't a Paperwhite, this latest model is WELL WORTH THE UPGRADE.
