    Bought this for my wife and she loves it. She loves to read and after having surgery for glaucoma she hasn’t been able to see to read. This allows her to read with the increased text and the light white background she can now read again.

    I am thoroughly enjoying the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite reader. I especially appreciate the slightly larger 6.8" display. This wonderful eReader is as lightweight as can be. At long last I've made the transition from being a loyal print reader to someone who now also values an electronic device :-)

    My kindle stays on the night stand and I read a few chapters every night while my wife sleeps. It has a dark mode so it’s easy on my eyes without disturbing her. Makes reading fun and easy.

    This is an excellent e-reader, with great visibility indoors or outdoors, no matter the lighting conditions. The backlit screen is nice in dark conditions too!

    Works great, it just seems to operate a little slow compared to other devices. Not quite as snappy and responsive as I’d hope for.

    I previously was using my daughter’s kindle fire (the very first one) and I just wanted a newer model of the kindle because all I really did was read on it anyway. I’m very happy with my purchase. I love the low light for night reading and it is very light weight which is nice when you are traveling.

    Love my new kindle. Because of vision problems I have discovered that reading on the kindle provides an excellent alternative to print on paper. I can adjust font size, and light. I began using a kindle about 12 years ago because it is easy when traveling.

    This kindle is light and easy to handle. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a kindle Fire, but that is exactly why I love it. The simplicity of being only a reader without the distractions of other apps helps me to stay focused on reading.

    I have recently become a nudist and a swinger! When I am not enjoying my swinging lifestyle I read! This is a perfect way to read all of my adult selections! I would advise everyone who likes to read to get this product. Well I must get back to my swinging lifestyle! I will send photos soon!

    Absolutely love the paper white! I’m able to read in bed without bothering my husband. I have a few books on audible I also downloaded with kindle unlimited, they actually sync automatically so I can go back and forth without searching for my spot.

    My 10year old kindle stopped working so needed replacing. I absolutely love this. Very similar to my original but the backlight comes on when needed. I like to take to Disneyland at times so it’s nice I can still read indoors or after dark.
