    Fantastic display and easy to use, putting the device in rest most leaves an ad on screen which I don't care for. Nice long battery life

    Already own full size iPad and iPad mini but reading for a long time on those hurts my eyes whereas Kindle is easy on my eyes.

    The screen is very clear and it's fairly light. IMO, the interface on the Nook is a little better, but the Kindle ecosystem is much better.

    I like the Kindle but have had to restart it twice as it froze. Still a great way to travel and still have books available to read.

    This thing is a blessing! I'm an avid book reader and love the feeling of an actual book. However, I just don't have storage for all the books I'd like to get. While I still miss the feel of a real book, I love my kindle. Kindle also runs good deals on their books so it's a win win!

    Only issue is that it is complicated to borrow public library books. Otherwise nice and light and easy to read outdoors.

    Kindle allows me to bring all my favorite read with me on the road. Great backlight feature and anti-glare are both nice features.

    Excellent product focusing on only plain e-readable material, with simple options to operate, no much fancy but worth a million in terms of product worthiness to keep a lot more documents with less memory and has basic internet connectivity option available. Happy experience with Paperwhite Kindle...

    I love my Kindle. If you're a bookaholic like me, there is no cheaper way to read. Once you've made your initial investment, there are literally hundreds of books available for free, or 99 cents and other low prices. Subscribe to a service that notifies you of these deals and you're all set.

    I have had a Kindle Fire for years, but find I can't read it very well in the bright sun. I bought my Kindle paper white for camping and it's perfect out in the direct sun, by the pool. It's also smaller and fits it the pocket of my pool bag easier. Now one stays home, and one stays in the camper.

    Got it as a gift. The text of the ebooks werr crisp and very easy on the eyes. Usually with ths kindle app on ipad we distracted onto other apps or browsing but kindle helped overcome this issue. Highly recommend for anyone looking for ebook reader with good quality content library of books.

    Great battery life. However it is slow to respond at times (finger sensitivity). Otherwise it's great for reading. Very useful.

    I love, love, love my Kindle Paperwhite. It is great for reading in bed at night with the built in light. Nice and sleek design makes it easy to throw in my purse and take with me on the go. My daughters bought it as a present for my Birthday. It was the perfect gift for me

    It is so much easier reading books with this. The backlight is good as long as set really low. It froze once, but it recovered.

    I didn't think that I would like this Kindle at all. I had the first generation Kindle and it was all I knew. I am still learning more about this Kindle everyday. It is smaller than my old one but very easy on the eyes and it was hard to navigate at first. I love it!!!
