    My previous generation Kindle Paperwhite got scratched a little on the screen, so I debated about picking up a new Kindle, but it was worth the $120. The 7th generation Paperwhite has twice the memory, runs a bit faster so it's noticeably quicker in response--making highlighting and annotating easier, and the uneven screen lighting problem (the older Kindle had "shadow" spots on the bottom edge of the screen) has been solved. My only complaint is that Amazon continues to put ads on the Kindle, which you have to pay $20 to get rid of. It's almost necessary because I use the Kindle to view books in church. Very inappropriate when the ad for a murder, crime, or romance novel pops up as a screensaver.

    Purchased as a gift for my 83 year old mother. It proved to be simple to use. She is very comfortable using the device and the option for large screen print has given her back the joy of reading.

    The best reader out there - however don't expect to use this tablet for its web browser function - looks strange seeing "paper" versions of websites as the paper white feature cannot be turned off.

    I purchased this for my husband who has been so busy that reading for pleasure just wasn't happening as much as he liked. If he'd take his tablets to read for pleasure he would get distracted doing work rather than reading for pleasure. He now makes the time to have some time off and is enjoying novels again. Good pricing. Now we are considering getting Kindles for each of our Grandchildren too.
