Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been reading on a tablet with the Kindle app. Worked great and really got hooked on e readers. However living in Florida I could not read outside. Purchased the Kindle Paperwhite and problem solved. Really like my Kindle. Haven't used the tablet since the purchase.

Not much to say as this is a wonderful reader, probably best yet. Bought 3 as gifts this year.

It is fun to read with the dictionary and footnote at your finger tip. The key benefits is the easy reading with the background light, would not drain your eye after hours of reading. Ordering books from Amazon is easy and cheaper than buying the hard copy. Love it!

It’s been a while since I’ve had an E-Reader. I read on a Nook when they first came out and since I can read a book a day it left my eyes seeing grainy when I’d look up. I can read on this Lj file for hours and not have that feeling. Highly Recommend

this specific e-reader was appealling to us because we didn't need that extra "water protection" feature in Oasis and or extra few LED lights and auto-light detection for auto-brightness for hundreds of $ more. this is what you need for reading without hurting your eyes too much - a protective feature that's only available in kindle readers. one flaw of all of kindle e-readers is that you've to experience a flash of random parts of your screen as you choose a different function, click a hyperlink, and or do that moves to a different mode/ screen. but in reading mode, that doesn't happen!!! so you're good. I highly reccommend the PaperWhite over ther other models of Amazon Kindle readers.

I bought black for myself and white for my wife. The e-ink technology is amazing.

Like that I can choose to get books from Kindle or I can borrow books from my local library.

was able to replace with new, with my warranty. This is is little better than the first one

Bought as a gift for my Grandson and he loves it. Easy for an 8 year old to use

I've had the product for over 6 months now. No problems, great picture even in the sun, great battery life.

I Love my new kindle! Is perfect, this model is The best

Just the right size for reading. Backlight great for low light reading or no light. Quick book downloads. Kindle lending library is also cool If you're a prime member. You can also e-mail yourself a PDF to the device which is sent to an email assigned to the same.

Make sure you have amazon prime with this. There are lots free books with prime

This is my third Kindle and use it daily for pleasure reading and a Bible study

The kindle was a gift and they are very happy with it. Purchasing it was a simple process.

Great product for our needs and great value! Bought one for my son and a second for my mom.

This is the second one. I like it very much. I will recommend it to my friends.

Very good ebook reader. I like it very much. I become reading book every night.

I did my research, and this was the tablet I wanted. It was a smooth transaction. The only thing was that I couldn't purchase it "without special offers" from anywhere other than Amazon direct. I opted to purchase it from Best Buy "with special offers" because of the price. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could choose to have the "special offers" removed after purchase. I had to pay additionally for this option, but it could be done. None of the reviews I read mentioned that this was possible. I suppose this could change this at any time, but at the time I am writing this, it is an option.I saved delivery time by purchasing at Best Buy and paid minimally later to have the special offers removed.

This kindle is great for reading books. Which is exactly what it's designed for. Very crisp text in bright daylight or complete darkness. It feels good in your hands (weight is balance, it doesn't feel flimsy either). Quick page transitions when reading. Don't expect it to compete with tablets in the app or visuals departments, because that's not what it's meant to be used for. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the touch screen tends to be a little picky at times.
