Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for reading outdoors and in low light. Easy to use than my old one and lighter.

I love my new Kindle Paperwhite. I love the small size and the fact that is backlit.

I had a kindle for several years that I thought was adequate until I purchased the paper white. What a difference with all of the added features this Kindle offers. I like the light with it's brightness feature most of all. The ease of use makes it a great e reader for everyone. I highly recommend the new PaperWhite.

I initially bought the paperwhite for myself, but gave it to my husband. I had read about the voyager, and they said it wasn't necessarily worth updating from the paperwhite, but if you were buying your first, go for it. It's a bit thinner and lighter, supposedly has a bit better font (don't know about that).

makes me fell in love with reading again. I had an old version, the 4th generation and I didn't expect too much change with the new one. But in fact, it did make me feel total differently. The screen is much more exquisite, the whole materials is not that plastic feel any more. I just love it. The only regret is that, a few days after my made the purchase, there is the $10 saving promotion...

I bought this for my mom, who is 90 years old. She loves it, and it makes so much reading material available to her in a format that is easy to use and very accessible. Good job, Kindle!

I don't consider myself a "heavy" reader (I read a couple books every few months), but I love my new Kindle. It's lighter than some of my books, which is great, but the best thing is that I can read at night in bed without disturbing my wife. The e-ink display allows you to also read outside in direct sunlight, perfect for the upcoming summer months. It's relaxing to just go out to a local park, sit under a tree, and read your new book. If I had to find a fault with this Kindle, it would be the ads. You're already paying a decent amount for an e-reader, then if you don't want ads on the lock screen, you have to pay Amazon more money. They don't really bother me, so it's not worth taking away a star. They might bug you though, so just keep that in the back of your mind before buying this that you will have to pay Amazon $20 to have them removed.

I love these things and this is the best iteration yet! If you like to read, there is nothing better! Not only are the books cheaper, you can get almost anything you want to read instantly. If you like to travel, it is a must have - you can bring with as many books as you want (I take mine backpacking all the time) and never have to worry about taking up valuable space in your luggage.

It's light and convenient to carry. I can, in fact, carry it in my jacket pocket. So it's good when I am moving around by bus. Book downloads are instant and don't take a long time; something I was concerned about. And the screen is truly comfortable, no strain whatsoever. The functions within the Kindle are also convenient enough to use. I bought it for $99 during Black Friday deals.

Easy to use with great battery life, and easy to read in all light conditions.

Still the best ereader available. Easy to use, great readability.

Easy to read under different lightning conditions. Soft glow of the light at night makes reading before sleep easier on your eyes. But what I like most of all is this is only used for reading and I don't get distracted checking email, FB, internet etc.

The best e-reader. It's light weight and holds its charge for days. Awesome!

Kindle is easy to use,easy to read in the sunlight, easy to hold.

Great battery life. Very easy to read in all light. Lots of free books also!

loved the size and lightness of the product. Stays charged for a long time.

After much contemplation between a Kindle and a Nook, I went with Kindle due to the number of kindle book purchases. However I LOVE the choice I made. I wanted to be able to read at night without the light. I can with this one and if I fall asleep then nothing is left on. And I love not having to carry my heavy technical books around now either! VERY happy with this purchase!!

Easy to read, just like I wanted. Lighted background is perfect.

Perfect to throw in beach bag! Small and portable and perfect !

This is a very affordable e-book reader. It works well in the dark because it is backlit, and it is very simple. The lightness helps a lot, and I usually buy Kindle books now instead of other books because it is so much easier to carry.
