like pointing a flashlight in your face
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.when reading at night, I literally have to point the reader away from my wife. I read at an angle. Get a cheap tablet instead. Then you can choose to have a black screen and white letters. Much easier on the eyes at night.

I HATE IT .
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this came with no instructions. I barley touch the face and the page goes back or forward or to something else. It is very distracting. I am no very computer savvy so it is not very user friendly. I really dislike this product.

Do not recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It frequently does not respond to changing pages. My last Kindle had a raised border. This one does not, which causes unwanted page changing

Unhappy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is not as easy to operate as my previous Kindle bought over 10 years ago. This one is very small and the library etc., is hard to bring up. Not that happy with it.

Not the e-reader for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I need something with a little more flexibility about where books come from. Also a much bigger screen would be nice. The 3 week battery only lasts for 4-5 days of nonstop reading. Software is glitchy. Doesn't always turn pages correctly. Trying to find a book is hard also. They need some custom bookshelf or something. Books never stay in numerical order. The 3 month subscription to kindle unlimited is the same way. Way to expensive for what you get. A color tablet with more memory is a lot cheaper. Would not recommend.

Poca duración de la batería

Beware, USB cable doesn't fit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The USB cable that came with the Paperwhite will NOT fit into the device. If you read reviews, other people have had the same problem, too. I am going to return mine, and when they ask if I want to exchange instead, I will refuse. Strange (and stupid) defect from Amazon. The observation from others that the surface glass shows more reflections is also true. The unit, while I was using it, also felt slow and sluggish. I would stay away if you value your time and money.

Inferior model
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Kindle take forever to start because it asks me to restart up to 4 times in a row. It also flips back to page one. I'm going to return it or have it checked for malfunction. The battery died on my old one and I really miss it
