    I bought the Kindle Paperwhite after my Kindle Fire quit working. I read every day. I really liked the Fire except I couldn't read outside on my deck with it. The paperwhite is only a reader, no internet access but that's fine with me. It's lightweight and easy to use. Very happy with my purchase

    This is my second kindle paperwhite. I lost my first one on a plane, so I had to replace it as soon as I got home from my trip. It's a great e-reader and is easy to set up and manage. Never had any problems.

    After about 2 months of use, I can say that my wife and i are very happy with our purchase. The Amazon Paperwhite kindle is exactly what we wanted for ... reading literature. We tried to many times to duplicate the effect with a tablet but found the shiny glare to be too much. The paperwhite is easy on the eyes, and easy to use. I did give it 4 stars instead of 5, because after purchasing I learned there is slightly more expensive version (like $20 more) that doesn't include the frequent ads were where having to deal with. Luckily we were able to find out how to pay Amazon an extra $20 to eliminate the ads, but it would have been nice to not have to deal with it at all. I would recommend anyone looking at this product get the version for $20 more and eliminate the annoyance of the ads.

    I really love my Kindle Paperwhite. I have been using it for years and what I love most about it is that I can place the font in the style and size that I like which makes for easy reading. It is also wonderful to be able to have books sent almost instantly as well as to be able to read samples before making the decision to purchase. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and I actually purchased one for a good friend as a gift.

    Just got back from a 3 week vacation. I read 12 books on my Kindle Paperwhite and i loved it. Read on the plane and while lounging on the beach, on a sunny day. Really enjoyed my Kindle.

    I was looking for a small lightweight device, that I can wear in my backpack everywhere, with backlight to read at night in my bed, with a possibility to change font size if needed. And I got exactly what I wanted. The battery lives really long! That's a great advantage for me. And the price is very adequate for a device with such options. If you are thinking of buying an e-book reader - think no more.

    I’ve always wanted one of these and finally gave into the urge. It’s easy on the eyes, comfortable to hold and saves a lot of weight and space. It takes a little getting used to but becomes natural in a short time.

    Contemplated getting a Kindle Paperwhite for several months before purchasing. My Kindle Paperwhite is fantastic! It is light-weight, easy to handle, and worth every penny I paid for it. The first thing I did was download (free) books I never had the opportunity to read.... mainly classics, books on philsophy, government, and leadership. I love that I can take it with me and read to my heart's content. Made a great decision when I made this purchase.

    I used to own another kindle and I used a case with a little led light for reading before bed. Not a problem with this one!! I love that feature that I think I'm even reading more now than ever before!

    I preferred reading hard copy books but now am liking the Kindle better. It is easy to access books through my local library. Also, like the size which is easier to carry around than hard cover books.

    I love my new Kindle. I didn't opt out of the advertisements. It is only one swipe to get to my book. Easy and lightweight. I can read without lights on just before going to bed.

    I had an original Kindle DX and a Kindle keyboard. I decided to upgrade and get the Paperwhite and I'm glad I did. The light is great for reading where it isn't very bright. The e-ink is great for reading outdoors or anywhere. It's easier on the eyes than reading on my Ipad. I still read physical books too, but the Paperwhite is great for traveling and just tucking in my purse to take everywhere. I recommend it to anyone who likes to read.
