    I use my paper white daily. It is my favorite! It is so compact and easy to travel with. The battery life is beyond any other device. I can read in bright sunlight or the dark. An added bonus is it is waterproof. Highly recommend.

    The service was great. I do wish we could have had the time frame narrowed down before the day of the delivery. From 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. is a lot of uncertainty. The actual appointment did not take place until 1:10 p.m.

    Been using this kindle for about a year and absolutely love it. Battery life is great, and the size and weight have spoiled me so much that I will probably never read a hardback or paperback book again.

    I have had Kindles for 10 years and have enjoyed each version. This current Paperwhite E-Reader is user friendly and more up-to-date with technology features, It is also lighter weight, waterproof and attractive.

    Bought the Kindle Paperwhite due to the virus. It solved my problem of going out to get books. It is lightweight, a good size screen, clear print/font and certainly doesn't hurt my eyes. It was a little hard to set completely up but that may have been me. It does a lot of things I didn't know about. I am peased with my Kindle purchase.

    Slightly small but perfect for reading well outdoors and at home. Easy to put in your bag or purse, and the fact that it is water resistance means you can read in the tub. Excellent battery life and easy setup process.

    Good features, rapid charge, easy to use. A few more ads for books that I could do without (more than on my previous Kindle paperwhite) but I'm learning to look past them. But then, I'm a choosy reader, and don't like books selected for me, as if my mind is being read? Perhaps someday Kindle will "catch on" and clean up the product.

    PIcked this up with "special offers" to get it just under $100. Honestly don't have any idea why you would pay to not have an ad for a book on the lock-screen only that only shows up if you aren't in airplane mode which I always am outside of the 1 minute it takes every few weeks to sync my new books. IF you are looking for an e-reader this is really the obvious choice, unless you have a lot of books in the Google Play Books ecosystem, in which case keep looking you won't get those on this device without major headaches, installing shady software, etc.

    Easy to use. Lightweight. Feels good in my hand, even after a couple hours of reading. Only wish the on/off button was located at the top instead of the bottom. I tend to accidentally press the button while reading.

    So far Kindle serves its purpose – useful product.

    Bought this as a Christmas gift for my kid and found to be very useful. Not so familiar or interested in readers gadgets before. During purchase had a dilemma whether to buy paperwhite or new Kid Kindle. Since new kindle - Kid edition seems attractive with features (protective case + one year Amazon FreeTime subscription), but purchased Paperwhite thinking I can also use. One great feature I found is...connection to library ebooks • My county library’s ebook support Overdrive (- Kindle recommended Software to borrow eBooks from library). I borrowed a book and it came to my kindle and it also appeared in all kindle software loaded devices. Eg: Iphone. The software and the touch screen effects gives a feeling of using phones which are decade old. 8 GB Kindle is more than sufficient compared to 32 GB. Thousand+ books can be saved in 8 GB. So far Kindle serves its purpose – useful product.
