    Does exactly what it’s meant to do, plus the backlight feature if you’re reading at night. Wished it had an Audible function though...

    Worthwhile e-reader upgrade

    If you're using an older Kindle Paperwhite model (like I was), the higher resolution and additional font choices available in this model more than justify the upgrade cost. I'd recommend the white case if you can get it. It's a lot easier to find the microUSB port when you're trying to plug in a, charging cable.

    it is cheaper when compared with other kindle models. But not as good as they are. But anyway, still a good choice if you do not have much budget.

    I just love my kindle fire but it's a little heavy to carry with me. That's why I wanted to buy the kindle paperwhite. It's light weight so it fits nicely in my purse or my work bag.I just love the no glare, I'm able to read at night or outside, at work on lunch break. It's great glad I did buy it. Worth every penny.

    I bought this for my aunt. She reads all the time. As she got older she hated carrying multiple books with her everyday and when she traveled. This Kindle solved all those problems. She especially likes being able to read magazines, periodicals, and check out library books electronically. She loves this thing!!

    I had wanted the Kindle Paperwhite for a long time so that I could read outside with no glare. Got it on sale and it is terrific! I have been an eReader from for over 10 years. Had one of the original Sony eReaders that came out. The Kindle Paperwhite is the best I've had over the years.

    It is very good. Just the right size. Only thing is you can't invert the text color to have white letters and black background.

    Great device for avid readers.

    I love to read but I rarely have time these days. For those who do have the time, this is a great device because you can take it anywhere and read it easily in pretty much any lighting situation. The text is crisp and easy to see but I wish the screen was just a little bigger. I ultimately took this back and went with a Kindle Fire HD 8. The pros of a tablet outweighed the cons for my situation, but the Kindle Paperwhite is still a great option for people who read a lot and want to read their books anywhere they go.
