    Other digital devices are distracting. Kindle keeps you focused and gives a good feeling of reading.

    We have had a Kindle Fire for years. My wife used it exclusively for reading. She grew frustrated of the constant random reboots and difficulty to see the screen. this device has cured all those issues. Longer battery life, stable hardware, and ease of viewing make this a winner.

    Love to read and this little thing is perfect. I carry it everywhere. I read all the reviews and was on the fence since I used my phone or Kindle Fire to read but the lighting on the paperwhite is so much better for my eyes and the size is great.. Love this and highly recommend.

    I have always loved the Kindle products. This is my first Paperwhite and I am incredibly pleased with it. Very lightweight, the touchscreen aspect doesn't get in the way of things, and the backlight doesn't compromise the e-ink quality of feeling like I'm reading on paper.

    What I really like about the Kindle Paperwhite is being able to read in full sunlight/ambient light, and also the sole dedication to reading. I'm not tempted in the middle of a book to jump over to Twitter, Facebook, etc.

    Cute, compact, light weight, delivers BIG! Great for throwing into my purse, (with the cover on of course) and reading on my lunch break. User friendly, easy to pair with my amazon account, perfect for reading in the bright sun (NO glare) and in the dark!

    Best Bang for the Buck E-Reader

    One of the reasons why the Kindle is so popular is because of how easy it is to setup with Amazon's eco-system. All you have to do is log in with your existing (or new) Amazon account and you're off to the races. The screen is sharp and the battery life is outstanding. Only gripe is that I wish it came with a faster processor for its menus as it can lag a bit Navigating a book is simple as swiping a page and you'll love its form factor and portability.

    I have the older Kindle with keyboard. This one is lighter, touchscreen, and has the back light. It was worth the extra $ to buy this one with the backlight. My daughter doesn't need to worry about whether she has a book light with her when she reads on long trips. A+
