    I purchased my first Kindle in 2011 and was using it up until it was stolen in May. I recently purchased a new Kindle and I like it for reading on my porch.

    I've not really been a reader in the past. I thought maybe I'd enjoy reading at the beach and so I tried my tablet. It blew. I couldn't see the screen. It had a glare. The Ereader has been great and I'm reading more than at the beach now. It works well. No issues. Wish it was waterproof/sandpfoof

    This purchase was a no-brainer. The Kindle Paper white is all you need for an e-reader. Plus with Amazon you have an opportunity for many free e-books.

    Not as easy to move between chapters of books as the Kindle.

    I bought this for my 80- year old mother. She loves to read books but has difficulty getting to the store. This was a perfect gift for her though it did take some time explaining how to use it. It isn't the easiest device to use but now that she knows how to download books, she loves it!

    Love the light so I can read in bed without disturbing my spouse. Also good for beach reading since there is no glare from the sun!!

    It's everything I needed in a reader. The light is perfectly balanced and the text is so easy on the eyes and brain to read. Couldn't be happier.

    Have enjoyed using the touch screen to operate. The page light adjustment has been very useful, especially when reading in bed with my wife sleeping.

    Purchased this for my wife as she is the reader in the family. Perfect is what she says. With Amazon prime even better with a selection of free books.

    Buying it was a smooth and easy process. I was hapy after unboxing the product to find what I expected and it has been working fine too.

    I used to avoid dragging along books/magazines to read as they are bulky and heavy, but now I don't need to. I just download my reading material.

    Wife loves the paperwhite edition of the Kindles. No glare from the sun what so ever. This replaced the Kindle 3rd generation she had for years.

    I think the paper white was great. Easy to read and put a selection of books on it. Gave it as a gift but husband prefers a book in hand.

    This was a great buy. I read all the time and just got tired of carrying multiple hooks with me on flights. So this played a big role in packing

    Can't put this Kindle down. Skeptical at first but now I'm hooked. Goes to the pool, treadmill, sailing...places an ordinary book is awkward.
