    Excellent ereader but reboots

    this is an excellent e-reader. It has an excellect screen, easy to use controls, lots of fonts and sizes, and of course easy access to millions of books from Amazon. Unlike my many other models of Kindles, this one often reboots, sometimes saying power problem although at 90% power. It's aggravating. The other problem with all Kindles is collections - it's awkward, hard to use, and about useless. Just give us directories and subdirectories or call them folders and subfolders. So I can have a subdirectory "fiction", under it a subdirectory "science fiction" under it a subdirectory "time travel" under it all the authors writing about time travel having a subdirectory of their books. I could hook my kindle up to a computer and setup all my books in a logical easy to find system in no time at all. If you have a couple of dozen books it may be ok, but if you have hundreds or thousands of books collections are useless.

    I really like my new Kindle e-reader I do however miss colors.I feel comfortable with knowing that it is waterproof. it's very convenient to take with me when I go on trips or commute to work. I would like to suggest that they add color to the title pages Make it pop. I like the size. Happy healthy holidays to all and thank you Best Buy for providing this wonderful service.

    I’m so pleased with my Kindle. It’s super lightweight and so easy to use. This is my first e-reader....I used to read on my phone, but this is so much better. I love how I can use the night reading light feature and easily adjust font and size. I originally wanted the white Paper White but it was so out and I got the black instead. I’d definitely recommend!

    This Kindle Paperwhite is perfect for those who want to read more books without buying physical copies of everything! It is smaller than normal paperback books, but I love the size because it can fit in purses and bags easily! It is made of pretty durable material, but I read reviews that said the screen can scratch and mess up the LED backlights, so I decided to put the Amazon leather case on it. The dictionary feature even works without WiFi! Plus, I’m able to send digital books from my public library to my Kindle Paperwhite for free! Definitely worth the buy for lovers of reading!

    Bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife and she loves it! What else can I say?!? I've read a couple of books on it myself and do like that it is lightweight and portable. Backlight works well too. If I read more, I'd consider one for myself but, for now, we share.

    This is an excellent, light, low-profile E-reader. Easy to download e-books. Superb visual display. Imminently portable. Solid, reliable piece of hardware. I got a better price at BestBuy when compared with Amazon. Ordered it and picked it up on the same day. Enjoy!

    Bought the Kindle for my wife. She loves how light it is and the background is very easy on the eyes. One of the features she loves is how you can click on words and either add to notes or immediately look up the definition in the dictionary. Wish it had external storage but 32GB still works fine for what she currently needs. Overall, great product!

    I finally broke down and updated an old Sony ereader with a Kindle. I went for this older model as the price was good and it was still much newer than the reader it replaced. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. The size is great, the screen is easy to read, and the built in lighting works very well. It’s not the latest model, but a great buy at the reduced price.

    Upgraded from my previous Kindle. Very impressed wit this one. Easy to setup. Easy to use. And easy to read on it. Set it up to your personal preferences. I think if I had 1 thing to complain about it, the battery life does not last as long as the previous versions. But it still last for several hours. Highly recommended

    This E-Reader is so easy to set up. It is compact and light. Comfortable to hold and read with no matter if you are inside or outside. The back lighting makes it very easy to read from if your outside in the sunlight or on very bright days. I was reading a book from it immediately after opening. Looking forward to many hours reading enjoyment.

    My son is on a submarine. I bought this for him to take with him. He is able to download a bunch of books before a deployment and enjoy using it while out at sea. Plus, it’s small so fits in his rack without taking up lots of space. He needed something without a camera so this was perfect.

    Bought a Kindle for my wife last year prior to vacation and kept borrowing it to read on the beach. So I bought myself one as well and it makes reading easy anywhere I travel. Long battery life is a plus while the non-glare screen is easy on the eyes. I haven't tested it's waterproof ability but I trust it works.
