    I like reading hard cover books

    But, this isn't a bad substitute. The print and light are easily adjustable. It's small and lightweight, easy to carry and holds a charge for a week or so. At the font size I use it takes 2 to 3 kindle page turns to equal 1 page turn of a book and thus I think I would prefer a larger screen. Although it's touted as better for the eyes than reading using the kindle app on a tablet, I really don't think that is the case for me. For me a tablet is just as usable although heavier and less convenient. Overall , for the price, the pros outweigh the cons and I would recommend it.

    Being 65 it is sometimes very hard to read for long periods of time. There is no eye strain and I enjoy reading again.

    Just received a Kindle as a gift. I previously had the Nook generation 1 and was fine with it. I have been pleasantly suprised at how easy it is to use this Kindle. It is so responsive, and purchasing is simple and fast. I love that I can read out in the sun and will come in handy next week on the beach.

    The Standard for E-Readers

    This is the perfect size, weight, and feel for an e-reader. It works great with purchases and simplified library lending. I've owned many (all?) versions of the Nook, which is a great e-reader and excels in many aspects, but--sadly--Barnes & Noble cannot keep up with the marketing juggernaught of Amazon.

    The Kindle Paperwhite has almost made my tablet obsolete. I read a lot and I was reading most of the books on a tablet. It was difficult to read outdoors even with a very good tablet. The Paperwhite is so easy to read anywhere in the the brightest of sunlight. I could not possibly put a higher recommendation on this product.
