oh my gosh so love this kindle - I was not going to purchase it at this time but I could not pass up the price - and the advances it has made over the previous kindles. this one has a lot more bells and whistles and is much easier to use! and the lighting is much better with this one too!! so glad I bought this kindle

The new version has 300ppi, which is the same as the voyage. There is no reason to pay for extra $80 just for the page press.

He loves to read his books through this kindle. Not to complicated and easy to use.

Bought it for my wife for her birthday. She used on a trip to Europe and loved it.

I originally purchased the basic Kindle and found that I often read in low light conditions. So I returned my first Kindle and upgraded to the Paperwhite and I'm really glad I did. I feel it is well worth the upgrade. I opted for the version with ads. They don't bother me. In fact I hardly notice them.

This is my third kindle. I mainly bought this one so that I would be able to read on the beach. So far I really like it.

Was a Christmas gift for my daughter in college, so she hasn't used it much yet. But seems like it should be good for her.

I bought myself a kindle earlier this summer and love it so much that I decided to get one for my ten year old. I thought she was spending too much time engaging in mindless activities on her phone and computer and thought this might be a good alternative. She has responded surprisingly well. One feature that I really like is the dictionary. If she comes across a word she doesn't know or can't read, she can tap on it, and the dictionary will pop up defining the word. This enables her to use her inference skills to decode the word or understand the meaning better. This has been a nice addition to her bedtime routine.

The recharging port is not working consistently. I have tried other cables, so I know it's not the cable. Otherwise it works fine. I am looking forward to not having to charge it but once a week.

While I did own this Kindle edition, it was broken accidentally. If you are using this device and are happy with it, good. I am now using the latest Paperwhite edition. I think that this version(the most recent OS and updates) is the best of the paperwhite line. A few issues; 1. I don't know why I have to go online to transfer a book I finished to add it to a collection. The book is already on my device! 2. If you buy more than 3 books, you will only see 3 max on your homepage. Hence, you have to write down your purchases. So you remember all that you bought and then have to search for them. In the very 1st Kindle, all your recent purchases were listed after your collections and they stayed there until you transferred them into a collection. I would like very much, if Kindle reinstated this function. It would eliminate these issues and would greatly enhance the users' experience and enjoyment. Finally, my last issue; I prefer a page number and % read. While, some might like a location number or how many minutes left in the chapter and time to finish the book, I protest. No one can know how long a person will read on any occasion. Yes, I suspect that an algorithm is used to determine your reading speed, however, what about an interruption or you decide to stop reading for that day. I think that the page number and percent read should be the first priority. Having said my piece, I hope that the programmers implement my suggestions. All in all, as a serious reader( on average a book a week, some take less time others more), my home is much less crowded. Can you imagine how many books I had prior to kindle. In the final analysis, IT IS A GREAT DEVICE! Last request. Please, reinstate the suggestions I have requested. Thank You.

I love it. Long battery life, easy to use, perfect

This was a gift for my wife who loves to read. She loves it. She said it is way faster than previous version

One of my major issues with e-book ls is using screens and the annoying glare. While the paper white still isn't a printed page it does a good job of getting close. With the backlight optional it retains the benefit of being able to read at night too. I love my iPad but prefer the Kindle Paperwhite for all my e-books.

My daughter loves her PaperWhite. I like that it has nothing on it except books so that she can take it to school to read.

So glad I bought the Kindle Paperwhite. I like that it has a built in light, and I can manually adjust it to my liking.

I love my kindle because it's so convenient when I want a new book. I can download it right away from the device and even check out books from the library. The battery lasts a long time. I've only charged it twice since I've had it and I read almost every night. I keep it on airplane mode to conserve extra battery.

If you like to read your Kindle in the sun by the pool like I do, you really need this little gem. No glare!

kindle was exactly what we expected, the lightweight and sleek design works wonders with our heavy commute.

I previously had a standard Kindle...the battery would no longer hold the charge. I wanted to replace it but be able to read in dim light. This feature is great. I chose the paperwhite because the screen did not glare like the Fire. It took some getting used to since it is all touch screen, but it has a few better features than the original. One complaint is that it sometime jumps further ahead than one page, so you need to pay attention when moving to the next page. I recommend it for someone who wants to use it for reading only.

I bought one for myself and it is my first kindle. Just love it and got a second as a birthday gift to one of my friends.
