    I find this perfect for reading. It's much lighter than the mini iPad. Easier on the eyes.

    I am very pleased with the paper white Kindle e reader. Love the back up light as I can read no matter what lighting I'm in. The only drawback for me is there is no text to speech. Please bring that back!!

    When looking at kindles, I was debating between the paperwhite and the regular kindle that was a bit cheaper. So happy I spent the extra money for the paperwhite. Having the backlit screen has been such a life savor and great feature. I loved it while camping and is also nice when reading in bed because you don't need to have a light on waking up the other person. I absolutely love this version and recommend it 100%!!!!
