Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this even though I have an iPad and an Android tablet. I wanted this so that I wouldn't be easily distracted with other apps. The only thing is that I wish I could inverse the colors for night time. Besides that it has a long battery life and is great for reading books.

Amazon has produced a great line of eReaders that only improve more with each generation update and model. Cant go wrong with the Kindle Paperwhite. I've used the Kindle reader on other devices but it is made to be used best with the Kindle. Bought it at Best Buy as I couldnt wait to have it to start reading.

Purchased as a gift for my cousin who is an avid reader. She loved it! It is lightweight and easy to carry in her purse.

I enjoy reading on my paper white Kindle. It is easy to learn how to use it. It fits nicely in my purse and is light weight. There are many font choices and you can make the print large.

The Kindle Paperwhite is a great e-reader. I did tons of research before getting one. For me, I was trying to choose between the regular Kindle and this one. The major difference there is the back-lighting. Holy cow, I simply cannot get across how much I've used the backlighting. I mean, I can't even imagine at this point NOT getting this one over the regular Kindle. I've even taken to reading before bedtime, in the dark, and then putting the Kindle down when I'm sleepy. Seriously, if you're trying to figure out which one to get, the Paperwhite is definitely the way to go, especially because of the adjustable back-lighting. Man alive, what a great purchase.

A great product to have. Lightweight and a very good product. There's so much that I can do with it. I find it easier on my eyes for reading. I use it for church and I love it.

I am very happy with the paperwhite. All I wanted to do was load books and magazines on this. Lighting is great, readability is great. Features are mostly easy to use. I'm very happy with it.

It has been one year since I purchased my first Kindle Paperwhite, and I have been using it for the whole year. It provides a great experience for those who likes to read with lights off before sleeping like me. I bought another one a week ago for my mom. Hopefully she will like it!

Perfect, simple device for reading ebooks. Does exactly what you'd expect it to do. Holds a charge for a really long time. Easy to use and set up. Light and convenient for reading on the go.

I got this for my wife and she loves it. She is old school and likes her toggle buttons on the old one. However, she likes being able to read anywhere at anytime. The back light is not over powerful. I was happy to hear this because I wasn't sure if I should have got the one that auto detects ambient light.

My husband wanted a simple, light weight device for reading. He enjoys the easy on the eyes display and long battery life. He is pleased with Amazon’s selection of books.

Great for reading and easy on the eyes. Only use this device if you want to read. Not going to do anything else with it.

Great reader for the price. Compact, lightweight, print and back ground lighting can be adjusted for easier reading. Some people may find this helpful if they have vision problems

I purchased this e-reader during black friday and am very happy with it thus far. It is thin, light weight, and very portable. Highly recommended for casual and avid readers out there.

Wow, so impressed with this new kindle. Its replacing my 3rd generation kindle and its so much easier on my eyes. Also love the size, weight of the unit. Very pleased with this purchase.

Love this!!! Great screen, easy to read in different lighting, and long battery life! The Amazon website has far more reviews for books and books are sometimes cheaper. Highly recommend.

I have had several Kindles from the Kindle keyboard, the Fire HDX and a previous version of the Paperwhite. To me, it's the best way to read. You can have hundreds of books at your disposal. Having the 3G version enables me to download books anywhere without being connected to Wi-Fi. I love my Paperwhite!

Easy to read screen. Although the tutorial was easy, I was hoping that some features would be a little more intuitive.

My daughter reads eatery day and has used this for days on end without charging. Easy to read in any light and she take with wherever.

Great reader. Can use it out in the sun unlike the kindle Fire. Can also read it at night in bed without any room lights on. It's Light weight and compact. Easy to use. Still getting used to swiping to turn the pages though. I'm used to the old buttons on the 1st edition kindle.
