    I went back and forth for awhile with whether or not to get a kindle and then which kindle to get and I can happily say I’m incredibly happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend, I love that I can read while in bed now.

    Perfect size. Easy to use. Especially like that it is backlit. I would buy it again. Fits easily into my purse. Makes waiting time for appointments go faster because I can pull the Paperwhite out of my purse and read away the wait time.

    My favorite device so far. Reading has become really compact and such a lightweight experience since then. The 8GB is more than enough and everything about this thing is just well made. Even the construction quality is good for being one of the cheapest options

    Best purchase for our long cruise. Putting books in was easy, I love the small size for travel and with the added larger print and night option it’s perfect. While we ‘shared’ reading, my husband used it more-I intend to get him his own for Christmas!

    I love this! I love that the kindle connects to my Libby app (public library E-Books) so worth it, a little bit of a learning curve but the battery lasts forever. You can change the font size, color of the screen, etc. so good and has saved me so much money from purchasing books!

    I’m an avid reader and was so against kindle for so long until I saw all the benefits: packing one kindle instead of 5-6 books for vacation, late night reading in bed when my fiancé has to be up early, no hand cramps from laying on my side and holding the book. Overall a really good investment (:

    This is a perfect size and weight, easy to stick in my purse and have with me at all times. Prior to this, I was reading books on my phone using the Kindle app. This is a huge step up! And if I ever do forget my Kindle, I can sync up my devices so I can pick up where I left off on my phone. My only complaint is it is a little slow compared to using the Kindle app on my phone and the swiping gestures are a little different. But if you've never used the Kindle app on your phone, you wouldn't know the difference.

    First time using a kindle. Took a little bit to figure out how it worked. Didn't come with a manual so that was a little irritating. Battery is good and nice size.

    The waterproof Kindle Paperwhite is worth the investment. Taking notes is very easy , very soothing to my eye after setting the color temperature as well as the lighting. Its water proof so you don't have to worry too much using it outside home.

    Solid E-reader

    After using this Kindle on and off for a year, I can definitely recommend the ease of reading. There is enough free content from Amazon and my local library that I did not have to spend money on any e-books this year. I do note that borrowing library e-books was a bit tricky and required downloading a couple of apps on my phone so if you are buying this for a technically challenged adult you may have to assist in the beginning.

    Love my paper white! It’s convenient to bring places and holds a charge for days. I like that it resembles a book and that I can read outside without the glare!

    Best e-reader out there in my opinion

    I purchased this to replace a very old kindle that was being lugged around for many years. I have experience from kindle first generation to kindle fire first generations (as well as 3rd gen), to kindle with keyboards and the first paperwhite model. I must say, this is by far the best for reading i have handled. This uses the fantastic e-ink still on a gently backlit screen, easy to read in the dark or sunlight, any setting. It is light and connects quickly to the internet and my library, loads books fast and flipping through books is quick. I habe a case that works with it and when it's closed it puts it to sleep, and when opens it awakens. Battery life is very good, one charge lasts over 30 days of use for me at least thus far, never really let it get all the way dead. Overall, this is a reasonable value and if it lasts as long as my previous versions, and they don't make it software obsolete, i will be a very happy buyer.

    I do love the feel of physical Book but the kindle makes it so much easier to read and it has a lot of cool features it’s just better to read and the fact that i can’t read on it for hours without gettin any eyes strain is amazing. I just love it. If you don’t have a kindle you’re missing out!

    I just love my Kindle. Good battery life, not to bulky or heavy. Easy on the eyes. Fits in all of my bags. Keep myself glued for hours, not needing social media all the time now. Kindle is the best. Get one if you really love reading. Recommended to other bookworms.

    I never thought I’d become a kindle girlie but here I am!!! I’ve read twice as many books as I normally would just because of how easy it is and how accessible it is having all my favorite books in one location and on the go. I love it!!!

    I upgraded from the previous gen Paperwhite. The larger screen size really makes a difference. The best upgrade is the warm light. It really looks nice and is so much easier on the eyes. The interface feels quite a bit faster. Glad I got this. I will probably get my wife one for Christmas.
