    Everything I loved on my Oasis and more - for less$$. I love the "warmth" setting, the new page-turning features, and the larger screen size and fonts. Outstanding model.

    I dont know why i waited so long to purchase. This has changed reading for me. I used to read on my phone or on my kindle fire. This feels much more like a book and is easier on my eyes. I love it

    I got my first Kindle Paperwhite back in 2012 (gen 1). It still work good but wanted to upgrade. I got the new 2021 Paperwhite and couldn’t be happier. So many improvements I was amazed. Very happy with this upgrade.

    I absolutely was lost when I thought my previously one had died. Come to find out, thanks to the personnel at Best Buy I found out it wasn’t dead, the charging cable was! They transferred everything to my new one.

    I’m not sure why I waited so long to get one but I read on it all the time now. We were at the beach and my daughter was using one so I had to try it! Much better than reading on a tablet for sure!

    I am a 70 year old reader with an MA in Literature. I vowed to only ever read paper pages, but I have now seen the light (bad pun intended). A great device and Best Buy is a very responsive and efficient seller.

    I love this. It lets me read a lot longer than my phone and the battery lasts so long. Best part is that it actually becomes more clear to read outside, where my iPhone was bad to read outside.

    Love the product overall but I took it to Mexico and the Led screen got a white line down the center. Amazon is sending a replacement for free since it is under warranty.

    I bought this as a gift for someone else. He seems really happy with it and enjoys using it. He ran into a little snag with the setup but he pretty much needs help with any tech device.
