    Excellent device. Light weight and easy on eyes. Next time I'll get a black one instead of the white to minimize glare in sunlight.

    I bought this product for traveling for its light weight and paper like reading. It was fine with e-books, but I had some PDF file I wanted to read on it. I could load the PDFs, but hard to read. No font enlargable for PDFs. Plus, the screen is not very responsive as screens in tablets. I ended up return it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I put off getting an e-reader for a long time thinking to myself that one more gadget was not necessary. Now that I have the Paperwhite, it's going to be my constant companion. It's very user friendly. I am brushing up on my Swedish language, and I was able to download a Swedish English dictionary so I can now not only read my Swedish books, but I am also able to look up unfamiliar words with ease. The display is very easy on the eyes - no eye strain whatsoever. All in all, I'm extremely satisfied.

    This is perfect for us to download free books from our library for her to read without overdue book fees. This also has a built in feature That will give our daughter the definition to words she may not know.
