    The screen is noticeably larger than the previous generation. The text is sharp and crisp, pleasant to read. The backlight is well-lit and uniform. I see no reason to buy a more expensive Paperwhite model now.

    Overall great prosuxt, supports multiple accounts and is fairly responsive for being an e-reader with crisp and clear contrast. Beijg able to condigure backlight warm tone is great when reading under dim conditions. Batter life also really good!

    The perfect e-reader

    This is easily the best e-reader I've used and everything I was looking for. It is a convenient size and very light weight, easy for me to hold with one hand. The backlit screen is very clear and easy to read even in direct sunlight. It took a little while to figure out how to access the various menus and navigate back to home and library, but now it all seems very intuitive. Most impressive is the battery life. I purchased this device 2/5/22 and charged it fully that day. Today is 3/13/22 and I still have not had to plug it in even once since the initial charge! I'm on my third book read and still 14% battery as of this morning. Amazing! I'm very happy with this reader

    Best ereader around

    I generally don't like single-function items, but this one is so good at what it does. It's simply the best electronic reader out there, and the price is low enough to justify adding it to whatever other devices you have. Tablet size matches a standard paperback. It's lightweight and thin. Glare-proof screen, and with the usual Kindle ability to change fonts, colors, and sizes, it's readable anywhere. It keeps a charge for an incredibly long time. If you want a good, solid ereader this is the one.

    I've had a Kindle from the first one with the keyboard and this one is the perfect ereader!!! So easy to set up and very easy to navigate. What truly amazes me is how long the battery lasts, I've used this one for about a month, using it daily, and the battery is 40%. I like the large screen, more like an actual book. Page turns super quickly and it's easy to highlight. Seems easier to read whether outside or by a lamp than the previous version. And you can write a note if desired. Definitely a good buy and well worth the money!

    I love my Amazon Paperwhite! It’s so convenient and fits in my purse. I bring it everywhere I go. I also decided to buy the Kindle Unlimited subscription, and it has helped me so much. It’s easy to read books and there are a ton of books on Kindle Unlimited. The Paperwhite is amazing, and it stays charged for so long. I haven’t charged mine since May 13, and I read every day!

    Straightforward to use. Can easily adjust the lighting and font size. Good size and weight. Battery lasts a long time. Lighting and sharp image reduces eye strain - good for longer reading sessions.
