    LOCKING UP

    I love to read and have had a Kindle Paperwhite for over 5 years. I decided to upgrade to the new one, but I have had to exchange it twice because of problems with it locking up and you can’t get it to move. Apparently this is a problem Kindle has been aware of for awhile. So far the third one I am on seems to be doing okay. I hope it continues because I love reading on my Kindle if it works correctly but am disappointed with this problem. But I must say, Best Buy and the Geek Squad have been great at helping me out!

    Amazing Reader

    Bought for my wife and she absolutely loves reading on it. Especially when she's in bright areas as the screen really does look like paper. She even takes this into our sons room at night to read as he is going to sleep. The dark mode emits hardly any light while allowing the reader to see the words perfectly.

    MEH not very impressed since it doesn't Automatically Flip what a HUGE MISTAKE they made in this design! BOO!!! I really wanted to Love this one compared to my old model BUT That one aspect alone BLEW it for me. What a HUGE HUGE Disappointment. It has to be done manually ONLY! I am reading tons of Reviewer's taking it back due to this ONE SINGLE REASON! Come On Amazon you should be ashamed of yourselves!

    This was a gift for my twenty year old daughter and she loves it. She is back to reading books again which more than paid for this item! Young kids don't want to read paper books...but put it on a device and they are reading away!

    I got this as a gift for my wife and she loved it. The backlighting doesn't hurt her eye when she reads at night and at low light. she can get new books and doesn't have to keep a huge pile of them as she finishes them.

    Everyone who reads should have one. And don't forget you can borrow books for free from your public library using Libby and download them to your Kindle. And there's no other apps to interrupt you when you read.

    This is my second paperwhite. My first one went missing and I had to get another. Easy to ready whatever you are reading. Light weight and lots of lighting options to read at day or night. Indoors or outside.

    My daughter asked for a newer kindle. I decided I’d purchase the Paper White (8GB). Turns out she absolutely loves the features of this model including the LED bulbs that make reading it in a dark room or bright sunlight simply doesn’t matter anymore.

    I wanted something I could read out in the sun. This is perfect to read while in the sun. I would try to read on my phone and with sun glare it was impossible.
