Customer Ratings & Reviews

My wife takes with her everywhere and always reads her books now with this

My wife loves the Kindle paperwhite. Replaced her old Kindle and it has been great.

Perfect size and readability and function for pages turning is comfortable

Holds a lot of books small and easy to carry Change font size very easily

Able to read more and longer than I thought. Light is bright enough, but too bright to bother someone nearby.

I travel extensively for work and recently had stopped carrying books to cut down on bulk in my carry-ons. A sale pushed me into finally buying a kindle and it has been a great purchase for me. The screen is extremely easy to read, has almost too much granularity in brightness settings, and is visible in all lighting conditions. The ability to add library e-books is also a huge convenience for being able to read new books, in addition to buying direct from Amazon.

I bought this as a present for someone and they were delighted. They love that it is compact and easy to use.

Light weight, easy for him to order the books he wants, and he has read 6 books since Christmas! He loves it!

Found it to be very simple to use. I would recommend it to my friends.

As I get older, i find that keeping up with certain tech items isn’t as easy as it used to be, but my new Kindle was easy to catch on to. I’m lovin’ the light feature to read at night.

I love this kindle. The battery life is great. It’s light weight and even fits in my smaller purses.

I have a cell, a tablet, and now my 4th (?) Kindle. I did NOT want to but this one because the only problem I had with my last one was that something happened to the charging port...i.e., it wouldn't charge. But, I will will always have a kindle because the battery lasts soooooooooo much longer than the battery on my cell and my tablet. I've been taken to task because I have all three and (according to my critics) that is a waste. My choice...get over it.

Cannot really complain. It does what it is meant to do and if you are like me and dont like reading from an iPad due to glare as well as distractions.. the paperwhite kindle is your go-to ereader. However, I do get frustrated with the lag time as well as the advertisements when its in sleep mode. Hoping the newer version proves better!

Love this Kindle. Worth the extra little bit to have the backlight. Very easy to use and worth every penny!

I can't say enough good about this product. It has LED's so the screen is backlit, and yet the battery still lasts for weeks! I've had mine for over a month and I still haven't had to charge it. The capacitive touch screen is perfectly responsive and fast too. It makes no sense at all to pay so much more for the voyage or oasis, when the paperwhite is such a fantastic buy.

Now she can read in bed and not bother me!! She loves this thing for her books. We have tablets and everything else but this is great for just reading.

Nice little reader that is well built and I really like the backlight!

I have had each of the models released and this current one with the 300 ppi is the best so far. Reading screen is excellent. Fonts are crisp and clear.

The battery life had been incredible. Fits in my wife's hands comfortably. She can't wait to get her next book.

The paperweight is a fantastic e-reader and the best I've ever used. Great display, fantastic battery life, and a very adjustable front light system work together to create an amazing reading experience. The only thing I would change would be to make it water and dust resistant for beach use. (Which is rumored to be coming in the next model) The ability to borrow ebooks from my library and download them directly on my Kindle is fantastic!
