    This was an gift our grandchild for his thirteenth birthday. He enjoys reading but can get distracted by games and videos on his iPad. This is ideal for focusing on reading which was a request from his parents. Since I’ve had many years of satified experiences with a number of Kindles, I had no hesitation in recommending the Kindle.

    I've been a Kindle user since the very first one came out to the market and I always wanted to be able to use touch to communicate with the device. This Kindle allows me to do just that.

    I no longer use this reader - as the size of the print keeps changing and that is really annoying - poor instructions !!! This is not Best Buy's fault - it is Amazon's fault. On the plus side it is light weight kindle and holds a lot of books.

    I'm hooked. This Kindle makes reading a dream. I always thought I'd miss having the actual copy of the book with me, but the Kindle is so convenient and I'm reading more than I have in years.

    I purchased it with a discounted price and now it seems pretty worthy and durable. Kindle's the best and most comfortable e-reader for my everyday use. I love it and put it in my bag everyday.

    I purchased this Kindle for a friend. In fact, it's the third Kindle I have purchased for friends. It's light and can be used at the beach or in the dark. It's easy to use and worth the money.

    The paper white is perfect for reading anywhere, when you can't take a paper book with you. It's easy for reading at night, because you can dim the display. It's worth having.

    It's nice & cool but it responds extremely slow. Compared to modern tablets & phones kindle is just too slow. My expectation would be to make it faster even if I have to charge it often that would be ok, secondly there should be a Home button & back button on the body of kindle.

    I transitioned from an unneeded iPad to this Kindle. The pages are incredibly clear, even during the day. However, you obviously cannot surf the web with this tablet. It's only for reading.

    I got this as a graduation gift for my husband because he loves reading. He absolutely loves it! He loves that it doesn't glare but that it also has a built in light for when it gets dark.

    There is absolutely nothing that I don't just love about my kindle. The built in light is a nice addition that my old kindle didn't have. I would highly recommend the kindle paper white .
