    It is a very nice reading source. I bought it for my wife. She had the original Kindle and liked it but the back lighting makes all the difference. Nice size and good battery life.

    We weren't crazy about the idea of getting another portable electronic device that distracted her from her schoolwork. 5th graders need to read much more than previous years and the Paperwhite not only encourages reading but eliminates the clutter that occurs from many paperbacks. The screen is the perfect size, lighting more than adequate, and the functionality is ideal.

    If you like reading books this will make an awesome companion on your next vacation. The backlight is great too. You can read in complete darkness even if someone else is sleeping in the same room. I bought this for my wife and she loves it. It was one of the rare good gift ideas I've come up with :)

    How can you not love it? It provides convenience. It works great to borrow books from the public library. Just imagine all the savings on hardbound books.
