    This is a great entry to the Kindle world of products. But the Oasis is my Kindle of choice now.

    The pages look like actual pages from a book to allow for easier reading. Bought this for my mother in her 60's and she loves it!

    I purchased the original Paperwhite when it was first released. This was an update for me. The only thing that has changed is we now have the option of a white background. This is a tremendous change for the better. This is worth the money.

    As usual, Amazon does a great job of making the Kindle - this was for my wife and replaced her previous Kindle. Awesome product.

    Best reader i think for the price. The only thing amazon needs to work on is the user experience. Make it a little easier to use.

    I have both the Nook and now this Kindle paperwhite eReader. The page turning on the kindle seems to be smoother. I really like it. The only negative I have is there is a shadow at the bottom of the screen and I don't have that on the Nook

    I do most of my ebook shopping through my library, but when I do buy them I always use Amazon. I've always loved the Kindle e-readers and have owned almost all the models since the very first one. I just wish they would make this waterproof.
