    Size is good but little small, weight is perfect. Negative is the screen isn’t sharp almost blurry, night reading is the worst the screen goes dark but no matter what you do the letters aren’t bright and crisp. I’m going back to a regular tablet.

    Less Performance Than I Expected.

    Screen clarity and sharpness is lacking even with the 300 PPI screen. As usual, the reader is not user-friendly unless you have used Kindle Readers before. Saving Grace is that my wife likes it and now I use my phone or a Samsung A7 Light and all is well. BTW, the A7 was cheaper and FAR superior.

    Difficult to find titles of unread books in the library. Prefer listing of books available to read on older Kindle model. Expected advertising - just not so much of it.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He said “it could be better.” The touch sensitivity on the menu is annoying and the technology seems antiquated, but it does the job.
