    Bought this reader a couple of years ago. It worked pretty good. But I sense then graduated to an excellent tablet.

    I bought this for my dad because he loves to read but, sometimes, it's difficult to get to the library in the Winter. So far, he's loving it.

    Got this to replace my old 3G Kindle with Keyboard and it is great that I don't have to use a outside light to read after dark. Good job Amazon!

    Unable to use for anything but Kindle and this severely limits its usefulness. The screen is very readable in sunlight, nice feature.

    This is a great product. The only problem is the screen side is still a little small, successful is not as far as I see.

    I love physical books too, I'm with you. But I know myself, and I know that once I forget to take the book I'm reading with me, that's it. I'll start another book and rarely finish the first. I also know if I try and read on my phone or iPad that I'll get distracted and start wondering about what's happening on the internet (Instagram's not gonna scroll ITSELF). Either way I'm not finishing the book.

    Like the fact that it is strictly an e-reader. Wished it was a bit larger like the Fire HD 8 tablet - but pleased with my purchase

    Would prefer hardware buttons and wish you could access public library digital book. Other than that works great in the dark.
