    It makes reading easier and more convenient. You don't have to lug big books around or be tied to a light. The screen is gentle on the eyes unlike a phone or the kindle Fire. Battery life is excellent. It will even convert PDFs to kindle format with a simple email. It is with upgrading to if you have an old kindle that doesn't have a backlight feature.

    If you like reading, you will definitely love this article. Imagine carrying an entire liberia in your backpack! Each model has its advantages, without a doubt this is no exception. For me it is the perfect size, easy to use and a good feeling to read.

    The Kindle Paperwhite is perfect for my needs. It fits well in my hand, and having the option to adjust the brightness and “temperature” of the backlight is key. I love that warm glow! So easy on the eyes. Not to mention, the clarity and crispness of the screen, which further enhance the reading experience.

    Amazing Product. Wish it was priced a little lower, but definitely a would recommend for avid readers who want to read in a more modern and efficient way while still keeping to the print and paper like qualities of a traditional book. This is great for commuters who don't want to lug around books.

    So pleased with my Kindle Paperwhite! I can read outside in the bright sunshine or the shade without straining. I can read in my dimly lit bedroom just before bed without needing a booklight. It’s light and easily transportable anywhere I want to go. Money very well spent!

    My old paperwhite got dropped in a pool. The new one is a welcome replacement! The screen is slightly larger, it’s waterproof (!) and responds faster. Overall, I am happy with the upgrade!

    If you’re looking to read a book on the go this is perfect for you. Almost went with the more expensive model but decided that this was going to work out good and I was right. It’s perfect, easy and small. Don’t have any issues with it and the battery last a REALLY REALLY long time

    I love my kindle! It’s the perfect size and it’s lightweight and perfect for reading literally anymore. I used to use my iPad to read and that thing was huge and so uncomfortable. So happy with my kindle purchase, made reading even more fun!

    Battery life is excellent and there’s enough space to download plenty of books. I highly recommend Kindle Unlimited to get access to a mass library of free books (“borrow”). I’ve never had a problem with Kindle, it’s ol’ reliable.

    Nice upgrade for the Paperwhite!

    This new 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is a really nice upgrade from previous generations. It has a larger screen with the same 300ppi screen density as previous Paperwhites, and now has the addition of warmth light adjustment as well as brightness. It’s nice to have a warmer light backlighting the screen rather than the bright blue of previous Kindles. USB-C charging is available now which is becoming the charging standard for almost everything, so that is nice. The page turns and navigation are certainly faster than previous generations as well. My only quibble is the Amazon software that is baked in and can’t be changed. Ads on the Lock Screen and constant offers for Audible or Prime Library and Goodreads integration are also present on your homescreen always. Battery life seems to be great as all Kindles are. If you have smaller hands you may want to try in store before purchase as it is just on the cusp of being too large to read one handed. I’m happy with my purchase and the new hardware is nice but it isn’t a five star device because of the Amazon software.
