    My phone (Note 5) is just a little small to hold and to read books on. This Kindle is much better. Lightweight, easy to read, great battery life. It's right on the edge of being a little big, but that's probably because of what I've been used to.

    This was exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to setup and to use. I found it even better than an actual book for reading. If someone is looking for a product just for reading a book this is the product to get. The only issue I had is it did not come with a recharging electrical outlet product so I had to use my computer to recharge until I got one. Now I can charge wherever without the need for a computer. If you want to just read a book this is the product to get. Can't go wrong just get the electrical outlet at the same time.

    This thing is awesome! I am not much of reader myself but wanted to get into reading to improve my reading speeds and enjoy a good book every now and then. This seemed to worked perfectly for me. I can say I know enjoy reading very much, even after years and years of never picking up a book. I have always wanted a kindle ever since I saw the wonderful paper-like screen it had, and this one in particular has a built in adjustable light, which is a great feature for reading in dark places. With kindle unlimited it makes it even easier and really inexpensive to read books without the commitment to have to buy the book, not to mention all the free samples. I have yet to even scratch the surface on the newspapers, magazines and other fairly inexpensive subscription based services offered by kindle store. Can't wait!

    The first thought came into my mind after getting Kindle Paperwhite that why I didn't buy this thing earlier! It is an awesome device. I really didn't think that a digital device can fill up the space of a physical book. Highly recommended.

    My old kindle died after almost ten years. Upgraded to this new model. I like the upgraded features and it is still easy to use. It's the best on the market if you just need a reader.

    Could never get into reading from a tablet like the iPad or even the Amazon kindle fire. It just didn't feel right. This device makes it feel as if you're reading actual paper print. It's amazing. I highly recommend it if your an avid reader.

    I was looking for a supplement to my print book reading habit. So that I can take it to the gym or anywhere where I can carry a thick book inconspicuously. I also wanted it to read more like a print book. This fit the bill perfectly. Make sure you get this version which has built in light to help you illuminate the page when you read in bed. It’s thin and very light. Battery holds charge forever. I got this during thanksgiving week on a really good deal (less that $100). So I am pretty satisfied.

    This is a vast improvment over my older model. It is easy to change print size. The fact that you can use it in the dark is a good improvment.

    It is very light and easy to read. Nice backlight feature. Only issue we have had is we haven't been able to remove the ads that show up when you are not using your Kindle. They disappear when you are using it. I just don't like ads, especially when you pay for something.

    I had the old Version of the Kindle and loved it. But now that I have the Paperwhite, i realize what a good decision it was to trade up. The contrast is like reading a real book and it doesn't hurt your eyes to read it for a long time.
