    Excellent for any book lover PLUS it is great for outdoor use as well as.people who have a challenge with using an ipad type tablet due to the screen blink that can't be noticed due to the speed but is a killer for the eyes.

    It seems very small at first, but I quickly adjusted. Easy to read and so many free books. I am 80 and still learning, but a great product. Main reason for buying it was so I could use it while sitting outside!

    I purchased as a replacement E-Reader to my Alurek. I could not download E-books on to my new MacBook and do not want to read books on my MacBook. I love the size, feel and back light of the Paper White. Glad I purchased it.

    I love this kindle. I first had the kindle fire but because I suffer from migraines I couldn’t read on the kindle fire without getting a migraine. I ordered the kindle paper white and have no trouble reading it.

    This is my second Kindle - I had the first one for several years and hesitated to update. Glad I did. Super user friendly and faster Internet access, as well as the back lit screen. I take it everywhere.

    I am a lifelong book worm and will read on anything I can. Normally. I wanted this because the screen is the easiest on the eyes out of any e-reader out there. However, amazon makes it nearly impossible to organize your books into any sort of cohesive order. Yes, you can make collections, not easily, but you can. However, you cannot put books in any particular order, which makes it more difficult when you have series containing dozens of books or more. When you have thousands of books that you've read or are going to read on one device, it would be nice if you could put them in an order that works best for you. Their kindle app for phones/tablets works much better at organization and keeping tabs on the books you've read and what you have left to read. I returned this after a week and went back to using the kindle app to read.

    I had a kindle which I unfortunately threw away by mistake with some papers. I bought a paper white and I am back to being able to read all the books I want, It can be put in my purse and I can read where ever I go.

    It was really nice to be able to find this at retail, in a store. The one we had been using died while on a trip. It made getting a new one really easy. They even carried both a white as well as a black coloured model.

    Had the original kindle and didn't use it as much as this one. Love the convenience of being able to pick it up anytime no matter where I am and use it without having to worry about the lighting conditions of where I am.
