    There hasn’t been 1 thug that I bought from Best Buy that I didn’t like. I love my kindle tablet that I bought years ago and my new Kindle Reader that I just bought. Great product!!

    I can only compare this to the previous Kindle and is far superior in all aspects but one, the battery. The battery is a lot less reliable and I do not mean by use, the other way. I was used to left my previous kindle several days without to later come back and use it with a decent amount of battery left. In this case I have found this more than once empty.

    I am so glad I purchased the Paperwhite. It makes reading better at night because of little glare and dimmer than my Fire or Ipad. Was finding it hard to justify buying it but I'm really glad I did!

    Obviously there is nothing more to add to this great product,I would rcommend to buy this via Best buy instead of amazon at the same price to get the cashback benefit on best buy card.

    I had an older Kindle that worked great but finally died. My husband had a white page and seemed to love it. After purchasing mine I understand why. I highly recommend this to anyone who reads a lot.

    I had to replace my old Kindle, which slipped overboard during a night watch. Love the paper white feature. It is also more robust than my old one...it can take a bounce or two.

    This is my second PW and my 5th Kindle over the years. I don't know of a better way to consume books. Read on the Kindle, catch up on the iPhone, further on the iPad, and back to the Kindle.

    Loving the new paper white Kindle with its no glare screen. It really is like reading a real book. The font and variety of sizes is very helpful. Both my husband and I use it with no issues at all.
