    at first i bought this because i was tired of carrying heavy cookbooks but turns out its better suited for more novel-type books. i realized that cookbooks need to be 'flippable' -where i can just sit and flip back and forth. however this is great if you have long flights often- light and easy on the eyes. i love being able to change the brightness easily

    I never would have believed I could give up my hardback books but my husband got tired of my carrying a sack of paperbacks when we traveled. I constantly have a book in progress, and the Kindle makes it so much easier to carry and download new books. This size also fits in my purse for any downtime. Recommended!!

    I had the original Kindle and still use it but this new one is a delight. The screen is very bright and touchable. This makes it easier to read and also to turn pages.

    My first kindle had a cliche in it. Like I didn’t have all the same fonts as my husband who had the same thing. My advertising screens did show the same things my husbands did. Then one day I couldn’t turn it on until I plugged it into a computer. I returned it to Best Buy and got another one. I have had no problems since. I love it.
