    I didn't like that this model came with a USB cable but not a plug. Other than that, it met my expectations. Synching the new device with my existing Kindle account was easy. And my initial fear that the touchscreen would collect fingerprints and dirt hasn't been a problem so far.

    The Paperwhite is a terrific e-reader. The text is clear, the backlighting easy on the highs, and if course has a huge selection of books.

    My wife and I both love the night reading feature. I miss the whisper sync feature that the Kindle devices used to have though.

    Exactly what I’d been looking for, and it keeps me from drifting into something else like other tablets. It’s strictly reading.

    where do i start? the ads. the description did NOT state that this kindle came with special offers. had i known, i would have run from the kindle. they are obnoxious, take up too much space in the storage and detract from the reading experience. then there is the pages left to read and the percentage read. just number the page please. finally, the 4 gb storage isnt 4 gb. the bloated operating system and unwanted programs take up over 2 gb. i had a little over 1.75 gb storage to load my books. the kindle will end up as a gift to someone. i cant deal with it. back to my sony reader

    I guess since I'm saying that this is perfect for reading 4 stars seems cheeky. It's just that since I'm used used using a tablet which is definitely faster but at least I can read anywhere and there is no glare from the sun and it's not too bright which helps with eyestrain.

    Very pleased with the performance. Thought i would miss turning pages, but I don't. Some may prefer a larger screen. I would buy again.

    This is my second Kindle. I wore out the first one! I truly enjoy the PaperWhite edition as I can read in bed without any other lights on.

    It's really great and I like the color but there is a crack on the screen protector. I don't know it's the shipment or I squeezed it.

    Don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. I sleep with it and when I wake up in the middle of the night I don't have to turn any lights on.
