Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it. It's easy to use, plenty of storage for books and makes reading easy on the eyes.

My wife is an avid reader. She loves paper books and convincing her to even try an e-reader was a challenge. I finally got this when on sale and she loves it. She still reads paper books too, but this lives in her purse and is what she now reads most of the time. It works in any lighting condition and is easy on the eyes, especially when reading in the dark. No glare when reading in sunlight as well. The newer one I think is waterproof, so that is even better. It is also very easy to link this to lending services like the libraries or Amazon Prime Reading.

I am an avid reader and my archived library goes with me everywhere I go. The Paperwhite with large print is so easy on my eyes. I truly treasure my Kindle and would not be without it. I belong to three book clubs and I never have trouble getting the books.

I spend a lot of time at the lake and love to read. I enjoy being outdoors and sitting on the dock reading. It was always impossible with my phone or iPad, which I still love! This is just amazing, like reading a "paper book" without having to hold it "open"! Love the clarity!!!

I absolutely love my kindle! The battery lasts a really long time, which is great because I read a lot! Easy to work, and I am loving the adjustable back light.

So the only complaint I could see most people had was that the battery life was poor compared to previous/non-backlit versions. I will say that is true, however, with about an hour to 30 minutes of reading, I can go a few weeks between charges. I feel that is very reasonable. As with the Kindle e-readers, I have had very good luck with them. They are well built, devices and very easy on the eyes. The device has a good texture and does not feel like it will slip out of your hand while reading. Overall I'm very happy with my new Kindle. Its so much easier on the eyes! Worth every penny!

I love the kindle.. Reading is so much easier especially traveling and at beach

This was my second kindle but first paper white. Love the feature of being able to read in the dark. Easy to use and all my books were loaded on already.

My second Kindle, but my first with a backlight. Makes reading in bed at night or in a darkened room a joy. Battery life lasts for weeks and weeks.

Even though I own both an iPad Pro and an iPad Mini, this is my preferred e-reading device. It's light and the battery lasts a good ten times longer than my iDevices.

This is a great product. Battery life is very good. Great for reading at night and works great in sun light. Sign up through Amazon and get books cheap or free.

This reader is easy to use and easy to read . I like how it holds all of my books in one convent spot .

I love how user friendly it is. It was a gifts for my daughter who is not very good with technology. She loves it!

I love the size, the portability, the reading options, the organization options, the look of the pages, and the price. You can't go wrong with the Kindle PaparWhite!

I love my Kindle paperwhite. The backlit screen is great for reading at night, it has a long battery life and I love being able to use it in full sunlight.

Bought this as a gift for my girlfriend and she's over the moon about it. She's already purchased dozens of books to read on it and carries it around wherever she goes. I'd say that's the sign of a great product.

Bought for my daughter because I love mine so much! Easy to use. Can see in the dark to read before bed - not so bright as a phone so it doesn't keep me up.

Yes it works well in sunlight. I like the matte screen. It’s difficult to connect to our public library to borrow ebooks. I can make it work but it’s not so easy. Also screen is a bit small so I have to turn the pages quicker with the size font that I’ve chosen. Love the battery life.

Easy to use, whisper-sync is great and the backlight makes it a lot easier to read in all conditions compared to reading on a tablet.

The Kindle Paperwhite is an awesome alternative to a paperback book. Great reading and lighting in all angles and lighting conditions. Price is great compared to similar devices. Great at what its designed for - I highly recommend if you want a dedicated reading tablet.
