    Kindle for the win

    I was pretty hesitant at first when looking to purchase a Kindle. There is just something about having a physical book in your hands while reading and seeing the progress in how far you've gotten into the book. Being a person who is always reading on the go, at work, and in the dark at home when others are sleeping, the Kindle has been awesome.

    Kindle Paperwhite Is Kindle's Best Product

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had a few different Kindles since they were introduced and this is my favorite model by far. I love the way they lit - makes it much easier to read in the dark and outside versus reading on a tablet or a phone. The kindle lasts for months or a few books on one charge and is such a great way to have my books always with me on the go.

    Good but not great

    OK, so I wore out the buttons on my old Kindle and my family bought me a new one for Christmas. On the whole I like it but some of this stuff is stupid. The battery does NOT last for WEEKS as advertised (unless perhaps you read your device 10 min a day). The light is kind of nice but beware, if you use it you will go through the battery even faster. Be prepared to leave the thing in airplane mode unless you are actively downloading or synching. Again, the light and the network will chew through the battery faster than you can believe. Oh, be prepared to pay the ransom fee to get rid of the adds on the lock page. As far as I can tell you can't find one with no ads so either put up with them or pay the piper. If my old one had not worn out on me I would not have gone to the trouble of coping with this new thing. As seems typical I've paid for a bunch of useless bells and whistles with a reduced battery life. But, it's got a small footprint and lots of storage space. Perhaps in a year or so some 3rd party will put out an extended life battery that I can install myself.

    I have one of the first kindles and had to use a attached light if I read at night. This paperwhite is perfect for that as well as the perfect size. I absolutely love it!!

    This is our second Kindle. We got this one because it is significantly better for reading in the sun. Our old Kindle didn't work well outdoors. We are VERY pleased with this new one.
