Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for reading in sunlight. Lightweight and battery lasts a long time!

I love my Kindle Paper White and the versatility of it. I can read it inside, at night in bed, or outside sitting in my swing with the sun shining brightly. It is very light and easy to hold. I also like the size of it and how it fits in my purse so I can take it with me wherever I go!

This is my third Kindle, but first paper white. This is by far my favorite. I took it to the beach and could read perfectly in the glaring sunlight. I can also use it at night, when my husband is asleep and the room is dark. Lightwieght and easy to tuck away in my purse. LOVE IT!

It is a gift for my friend. She is really like it and said she is start to enjoy reading now.

I am looking at the oasis and voyage but thinking they will be expensive paper weight in 3-4 years because that is the average life of kindle, this is my #4; they get slow, froze and die after 3-4 years. Moving from first gen paperwhite to the newest version, here are the noticeable changes: 1. speed- this version is snappy, the new UI takes a little time to get used to. 2. the LED lighting is even, no more ghost at the bottom of the page. 3. cloud storage, book can be opened from the cloud and just start reading. Just like any other kindle, set up is easy, downloading over 100 titles of book to the device is fast. I do average 12-20 books a year, with the kindle of course, no worries on where to store them. Although the form factor of the oasis and voyage is very tempting but that additional price can buy lots of books! One complaint that I have is the USB cable is too short!

I prefer the deficated e-readers to tablets for reading. I have both this Paoerwhite and a current-gen Nook Glow Light. I really like the Glow Light — especially its rugged construction — and I still use it, but the Paperwhite is better. The Glow Light has no bevel and a touch-sensitive button on the front. This means I am constantantly turning the page or returing to the home screen by accident. It's very annoying, and I have a hard time finding a comfortable way to hold it. It seems like I'm always thinking about where my fingers are. I do not have this problem at all on the Paperwhite. The Paperwhite is a great little reader for the money. I would definitely buy another.

I love my kindle paperwhite! I will say it does have a slightly delayed response when searching the store. But I have adjusted to it.

My Amazon Kindle Paperwhite B00OQVZDJM, which features a 6 300 ppi Carta ePaper antiglare touch screen with optimized fonts. The built-in backlight makes it simple to read at night.

Great size, easy to use, long-lasting battery, great for the beach and pool side with the anti glare screen. Even able to read at night with the adjustable backlighting.

Bought this for my wife and she loves it. She said the charge lasts 8 days and she is a heavy reader. The backlight is great would highly recommend this product.

I previously had a Kindle Fire, which I liked, but this is much easier on the eyes for reading, and the battery lasts for days instead of hours. It's great.

For the longest time, I was using my phone to store a few books to read when I have the time. But it came to the point that my battery was suffering from this. What I love about the Paperwhite is the battery life, about 8 weeks. In addition to that, you can turn down the brightness to the point that it looks like an actual page, so its actually better for your eyes. I have about 300 books on my paperwhite so I am beyond satisfied. Definitely worth the $.

I kept waiting for a good deal since this new 300ppi kindle released. There's no discount from Amazon. However, I received student coupon from Bestbuy with $20 discount. That was an amazing deal! Now I start to read the song of ice and fire with my new kindle!

Have been using this kindle paperwhite and it's a lot lot better from reading in tablets. Not eye stressing and really very handy. Nice product!

Have had this for over 7 years now! Amazing quality, really go to reading equipment.

A great alternative to get my daughter to read instead of being on the ipad. There is an experimental browser that she can use. Doesn't have sound or video, so I can trust she's using it to read.

I loved everything about my kindle paperwhite but then while reading the other night I swiped to turn the page and nothing happened. It froze after using it for about two years, give or take a couple of months. I've tried restarting it but it does not shut off. I advise you also buy the extended two year warranty or just go back to reading real books.

Great battery life and read. I especially like its weight and how easy it is on the eye.

It's great the size is perfect to fit into almost any small purse And weight nothing

This is a great reader and has lots of new features. Go with Kindle Paperwhite.
