    Great reader. Easy to read screen in bright sunlight, easy on the eyes in darker rooms. Perfect size too. The kindle has made it possible to switch from paper books to something that's more convenient and works great.

    I purchased the kindle, because actual books are heavy and take up to much room. The kindle works fast, and is easy to use.

    Needed to replace my original Kindle with a keyboard. Was leary about new model as very pleased with original. This is improvement as same size screen, but smaller in overall size and easier to scroll through pages.

    This device is everything that it's supposed to be, an e-reader that can be read in low to no light environments. I have read more books with this than my tablet for the simple reason of no eye strain even at night with the lights off because of the adjustments in the brightness control. This device is for people who want to read. It is NOT designed for web browsing (even though it does have an experimental browser), gaming, or listening. So, if you want to read, this is a prime option.

    I purchased this as a gift for a family member. She recently used this on a week long vacation and enjoyed the long batter life during the plane trip. The reader was also easy to read in the sun while at the beach.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my teenage son. He's been very pleased with it. The battery lasts long, it is small and light enough to fit in his jacket pocket, and the selection of books is awesome. Great product.
