    I usually read in bed and found this reader to be too heavy and bulky. I originally didn't want to pay the higher price for the Voyage but I exchanged this one for the Voyage and I am much happier with it.

    My husband bought this for me as a Christmas gift to replace a perfectly serviceable first generation Kindle. I found it complicated to use compared to my old one, and I don't use it. I probably should have returned it. As it is, I have put it away until my original kindle breaks or is so obsolete that it is no longer supported.
