    Purchased for my wife for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. Can take it outside and is already looking forward to camping trips with it. The battery was charged on Christmas Day and is still going on the original charge (It's now mid-February).

    I was afraid that having an electronic book would take away from the feeling of "unplugging." However, this was not the case. This kindle really looks like a book page. It is much lighter than a book and i can take it anywhere. Love love love this product!

    My daughter loves this device. She loves to read and doesn't like kindles because she loves the feel of the book in her hand. But, this product offers her unlimited reading at a very inexpensive cost. And, it travels anywhere, is light, and just fantastic for her.

    The Kindle Paperwhite is an improvement over older generation Kindle's with it's clearer display, cleaner font, and built-in light. It's an e-reader that anyone can use with very little technical capability and makes for an enjoyable reading experience.

    I LOVE my Kindle. You can set the backlight for reading in the dark and see it perfectly during the daytime. It is so much more convenient than a bulky book that you have to flip pages and have a book light to read at night.

    My wife loves this product. I never thought she would ever let go of paperback. But the ease of use and convenience when travel make this perfect for her because she loves read when we go to the beach.

    The reason I bought this model kindle was for the backlight to read at night. The internet connectivity is great too. I've been reading a Russian history book and use the dictionary and Wikipedia lookup often to look up people and places with ease.

    This is great for a reader. I was hoping to get a Kindle Paperwhite that had internet access through a browser. From I can tell that option is not available. But, we definately wanted the PaperWhite.

    Best Kindle for readers with multiple interests

    I've been using kindles for many years and have tried every model out there. For my purposes, the Paperwhite is the best. I have a very wide range of interests in my reading and the ease that the Paperwhite offers in creating folders to make accessing books is truly remarkable. It is so easy to switch from alphabetizing by author, date of purchase, or title of book. My eyes give me trouble on some days so I really like how easy it is to change font size and background lighting, Since purchasing the Paperwhite, I have delegated my Fire almost exclusively to the role of playing games. Almost all of my reading is done on the Paperwhite. (this purchase was actually a second Paperwhite that I use as a secondary kindle which I keep next to my bed for easy access for nighttime reading. Even though the Paperwhite is so light, having one in each of the places where I read the most is very convenient.

    Great screen, good battery life, no audio, tied to amazon, could be less expensive based on that

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
