    I was thinking about to get a device to read on train or buses. Kindle paperwhite is the best for me when compared with others such as cellphone or tablet. And even in this latest model, it has higher display density and brightness control, which is what I want. So go ahead, get one, worth to have your trip full of fun.

    Bought this for my wife and she uses it a lot. The text is easy on the eyes and easy to read on any lighting and light angle i.e. light glare is very minimal on this product. I could care less for the ads that amazon has placed on the kindle product series, but thats on them, not this product.

    The reason I particularly like this model is because I find I have problems looking at a back-lit screen for long periods. I do a lot of computer work during the day and find my eyes need the rest. I also like some of the new features including how the library and reading lists are organized.

    I read many reviews before purchasing. I can see why it has such a high favorable rating! The picture is clear and crisp, even when not receiving a SHD signal. Set up was quick and easy. I love the streamlined remote. I'm going to really enjoy this for the Superbowl. I would definitely recommend this tv to anyone.

    Great device for reading anywhere, day or night! Very lightweight, so easy to hold. Backlit so you can read in the dark, but it has dimmer so you won't disturb anyone else.

    Used a tablet before which was not useful in full sun or when reading with sun glasses. The kindle made a world of difference and it is lightweight and holds a long charge.

    Purchased kindle paperwhite after my kindle touch of three years fell and broke. I love the light on the paperwhite and that I no longer need to use a separate book light. The light is adjustable, which I love because when I'm reading in the dark in bed, just a little light is needed. Great price and great product

    I had to replace a kindle I've had for years and this one fit the bill. The back-lighting is a huge plus as I didn't have it before, still on the slow side but works perfect when reading.

    I love this thing. I am a bit of a bibliophile and obsolutely love books. This isn't to replace books, but it makes stories more accessible. It's easy to use. Has great better life. It's perfect.
