    This is my second Kindle Paperwhite I have bought at Best Buy. I wouldn't be without it and take it everywhere I go. The first one just wore out as I had it for several years. I have noticed new additions from the previous one which really helps.

    Previously used Kindle app on phone and tablet to read kindle books. But the readability on the Kindle itself is much better. Less strain on eyes and more natural to read for extended time. Plus, the light weight and easy handle-ability is great!

    I won't leave home without it now! It allows me to take my library with me anywhere I go without having to lug dozens of books around. While I do enjoy the feel and smell of a good book, the kindle is an absolute delight to read from!

    Love this kindle reader. I use it while traveling the only problem is the experimental browser. At many hotels I stay at there is no way to connect to the wifi. The browser is extremely slow and even when I can connect it is very difficult. Kind of like trying to do your tax return while swimming under water at night without a mask! Good luck!

    Bought for our child who has vision issues but LOVES to read. ❤ She can borrow library books and they return "automatically". Appreciate that the screen lighting is more gentle than other tablet items. Grateful for no game options. Wish I could control the ads better! That's my only complaint. Some advertised books are plain wrong for a young one but there it is with a sample or picture. Just gotta keep an eye on that.

    Bought the Kindle Paperwhite as a gift for a friend. He loves it and uses it daily. It's great for reading outside during the day, even in the South Florida sun, and the adjustable lighting is great for reading at night or in dim lighting.

    I didn't need to review the product because I alread had one. I purchased the kindle for my wife for our anniversary and she loves it. The best part is you can read it outside in the bright sun or inside .We rarely buy paper books anymore!

    Works well - I used to have Kindle and Nook on my tablet, but find having the Kindle separate so much better. Holds a charge a long time and easier to tuck in my purse and take with me.

    kindle is a must have for anyone who likes to read. The back-lighting is easy on your eyes and the touch screen is responsive. The ability to sync with your Amazon account and upload pdf files is a huge bonus as well.

    We were hesitant to buy an electronic reader, but started to accumulate so many books we ran out of space to store or give away. So happy to have the KINDLE and can share on iPad so often we are reading and discussing the same book! Love it!

    We bought this Kindle for our son... he's moving up in the high school years and more books are required for reading so instead of buying books or waiting for availability at the local library it was the smart choice... download and read!
