    This is my very 1st kindle. I used to read books on Wattpad and wanted to try kindly. After much research I went with Paperwhite since it meets my requirment. Things to note it dose not dupport 5G. It is quite intutive to use it and if you buy from anywhere except amazon you can redeem 2 months of free kindle unlimited. You can only download 10 books at a time. Can connect with Goodreads through Kindle and you can also read your downloaded book on your kindle app on your iphone. Battery can last upto 3-4 days if you are reading 5-8 hrs/day.

    I filled my original kindle and kept on getting messages to upgrade it. I bought this Kindle Paperwhite for the 32GB memory. Last night I tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't. I tried many times, with no luck. I had just charged it earlier, so knew it had at least 95% charge on it. I finally held the on button for a long time to hard start it. It worked after that, however, it jumped around a lot sending me to the review the book. Once you get there, it won't allow you to get to any other page until you rate it. I had just started the book and didn't have enough info to rate it. It is very annoying and I wish they would just offer more memory on the original Kindle.

    Great reader, Light weight with lots of storage with its 32GB HD. The backlight is great day or night. You don't need to attach a light source to read at night. I love it!!!

    I've had a Kindle for years. I upgraded to a Fire HD 8 like 3 years ago but was never satisfied with the Fire OS or the battery life. Moving back to the Kindle Paperwhite was the best thing ever for my reading life. The battery is awesome. I love the backlit screen for reading in low light conditions. This device answered all my issues. I would say the only drawback I've found is the location of the power button at the bottom. I always have to keep in mind not to hit it with the palm of my hand based on how I hold the device one-handed.

    It goes everywhere with me. Having it be waterproof makes it that much better. The only down side is sometimes it tells you that there is an issue with a book in the middle of reading it or it freezes.

    A lot better than a regular kindle. Can choose light or no light. The bad thing is your books aren’t in color when you click on them.

    This product is for reading books. It is perfect for reading books, which is good because that is all it can do. Its what the Kindle was at the onset, but much lighter and more compact. I had the fire for a while, and its ok but clunky and slow and honestly, cheap. You can do much better for a multimedia player. Much better. And this impacted the books loading and battery and everything else.. i came to hate that product for reading., which is basically the point of a kindle anyways. Again. This is a book reader only. And it is wonderful.

    Aside from being water proof and tons of storage not much has changed. I do wish that they would increase the screen size. Its ridiculous to have that border around the screen in 2021.
