    This is a great way to take a whole bunch of books on vacation without having to pack an extra bag for them. My wife and I put some on their for us too. And the reading surface is great, even in bright light.

    Replacing 6 year old Kindle, which had begun to malfunction. We were pleasantly surprised to discover the new edition,which is now lighted, cost the exact same price (on sale) that we paid 6 years ago.

    Replaced my old Kindle Fire with this White Paper. Wasn't sure if I would like it without the color screen and WiFi connection, however, with my Smartphone I really don't need those functions anymore.

    I cannot think of a better e-read than kindle. At first it seems a little bit dark and weird but after a while you will find that you cannot read on ipad or other pads anymore. Kindle is just that good

    Weak part of my purchase turns out to be the packaging. I thought I was purchasing the same paper white with Wi-Fi & 3G that I had. In fact I was disappointed to find it only has Wi-Fi,

    Our first Kindle finally gave up the ghost after many years of use. Love this new Paperwhite. The front lit screen is great as my old Kindle required a case with a light in order to read in the dark.

    I like the fact that I can carry several books at once in one device. I wish it was a tad bit lighter, and the touchscreen was a tad bit more responsive, and the cases a tad bit cheaper.

    This product is very good. There was no problems in moving all of my books from my other Kindle to this one. I like the touch active screen and the lite screen. The size makes it easier to travel.

    Wanted to be able to read outdoors w/out glare and also at night w/out a light on. Already have laptop and smart phone so don't need another connected device. Works beautiful in all lighting conditions.

    I really like my kindle. It is so gentle on my eyes. I don't have to charge it as often either. Lots of great features, highlighting especially is useful as it saves it to a new ' my clippings' file.

    Amazon makes such a good eReader that no other company even tries to make one. There are very few products in the world where that is true. The Paperwhite is worth the extra money for the lighting.
