    Holding the Kindle Paperwhite is like holding a paperback book. It is formatted to be a book. Yes, I have an iPad and mini but the Kindle is much lighter and more "book-like." It can hold 100s, if not 1000s, of books.

    My old Kindle finally bit the dust so I had to order a new one. I tried the Kindle Paperwhite and really like it. It has the lighted screen so I can read it anywhere. Very pleased with my purchase.

    This is my husband's second Paperwhite because the first received water damage when his waterproof case leaked. He bought a Nook at a pawnshop because it was cheap but he missed his Kindle. Bought this one for his birthday.

    I had to do OS upgrade immediately after purchase and the process is manual. Would have been better if the OS can upgrade itself similar to iOS or Android. OS thing aside, I love this device and its worth the money.

    Bought his for the lady because she kept getting distracted when trying to read things on the iPad. Plus the lighting on the iPad is a bit harsh when reading at night. This was the perfect answer to both of those things.

    This reader was so easy to see and read whether inside or out. I was pleasantly surprised by how well I enjoyed it over a physical book. Learning to upload and use kindle was easier than I expected.

    I've had a number of kindles since inception and this one is fantastic. The back lighting works great and the device is responsive, light, and agile. I wish there was a way to delete ads after you've bought the device

    I really like this reader because it has a front light already built it. Not to be confused with a backlit (like a phone or tablet) easy on the eyes and functionality has come a long way too.

    I love this Kindle. It is a replacement for my old kindle keyboard. I used it constantly, for hours every day, carried it in my purse all the time, and traveled with it. I will not be without a Kindle. nice product.

    Has a slight 'smokey' look at bottom of page. Probably because that is where the ads are shown. Cannot reverse background from white to black. Reversing to white letters on black background creates less glare for night time reading. Amazon is the best for customer service as is Best Buy. Overall, I'm very happy with my Paperwhite. It's very light and now I'll read more. Very user friendly.
