    The device itself is very laggy. It works, but you need to be pretty patient with it. Once you’re in a book, you can turn pages easily and quickly enough, but navigating there isn’t exactly a swift process.

    I thought the transition from physical books to an e-reader would be tough, but it is honestly the best decision I ever made. Love this kindle!

    It is pretty good. No real issues. If you have the funds, many tablets can do the same thing and may have a more robust interface.

    I really like this Kindle Paperwhite but I love my old one purchased in 2008. This is still really great though. Controls are a little more laborious and screen does not seem as crisp. I would still recommend because it makes reading easier on the eyes.

    Since I can find my textbooks on Amazon, and I prefer the Kindle format and functionality, I got an e-reader to do my academic reading. This is so much easier than the Brytewave format the Uni uses for e-books. So, yeah. Happier non-traditional student here!

    It’s a smaller size than my Kindle Fire was so it’s taken a little while to get used to that. I don’t really like the way you have to page through my library. I have quite an extensive library and it was a lot faster to scroll through the it on my old Kindle Fire.

    It does what it supposed to do. I love reading books so this is perfect but I’m sure any tablet would do that plus everything else. But for strictly for reading it’s worth the price

    This was just a replacement for an older model that was having charging issues. Wife has been using these for a long time and loves her Kindle.

    I read so many more books. I turned my nose up to these for years because I thought you couldn’t do better than a physical book but I was wrong. So worth it.

    I haven't learned some options, like how I transfer downloaded books from my other kindles, marking read books etc. But overall I am enjoying reading when ever I want.

    I have been using this e-reader for half a year now. The only minor complaint is that the "Kindle" logo is a tad too big, otherwise zero issues so far.

    This little reader is fantastic, so we bought Two. I only wished the light could be a little brighter. But it’s not a deal breaker.
