    This Kindle replaced my old Kindle because my old Kindle did not have a back light. That aspect has been working well, however I have had some minor technical issues and glitches. Everything goes back to normal after resetting it, but I never had the problem with my old Kindle. Still, I am happy enough to give it five stars.

    My iPad was too big and cumbersome to read on. Kindle is amazing. Reading is easy on the eyes. Super easy to purchase books and locate in your library. If you’re an Amazon Prime member you can even check out one free book a month. I don’t know why it took me so long to make the transition. Should have done this a long time ago!

    Happy to have a waterproof Kindle. After accidentally dropping, not one, but two, older Kindles in the pool I needed to find something waterproof. The display is easy to read in both bright sunlight and laying in bed at night with the lights off.

    The Kindle is perfectly built for reading. It's nice to read on and nice to hold. The waterproofing of this generation is a nice addition for bath, poolside and beachside reading.

    My first e-reader. I took a friends advice to get the paperwhite and not the basic kindle. I’m really enjoying the quality, easy to hold, easy to use. Non reflective. I also took advantage of Best Buy’s price guarantee. I did curbside pickup and the staff couldn’t have been nicer or quicker.

    I got this kindle as a present for my wife. She had one of the first versions and liked it, but unfortunately the screen was cracked. She likes the new Paperwhite kindle. This kindle is very light and she feels comfortable with it. So far, she is very happy with this kindle.

    My paperwhite e-reader has been a great investment, especially through the pandemic. I've found it easy to set-up and download through my library has been awesome! No issues with battery life. I read a couple times a day but not for hours and have only needed a recharge every other week.

    Portable, convenient and great for readers. each to carry around. Can hold tons of books to have at your fingertips. With the water resistance aspect, I don't worry about it getting wet. Because access is easy and due to portability, I find myself reading a lot more. Liked it so much that I bought one for my sibling.

    Upgraded from a very old Paperwhite that just refused to download. Very pleased with this Kindle. Lightweight and very fast downloads. Purchased a really nice fabric case with a cover that closes and puts the Kindle to sleep and also has a stand from Amazon. Highly recommend this Kindle

    This is my third Kindle. I wore out the second one after 5 years of almost daily use. Bought a cover for this one so it will look nice after 5 years! When I open the magnetic cover, it says Waking Up, which is really cute. The battery is longer lasting which is a big help. Am very glad I bought it.

    While not as good as the Oasis model, this eReader does have some features that really boost its ratings. The most important being waterproof. No more worrying about doing it into the tub or pool. It is easily set up with your Amazon account and you'll be reading in minutes.

    Works as expected and the color is a nice change from a basic all black. It also makes it easier to find. The kindle is so small and thin, we already lost an all black one which is why we had to purchase another. This time with color. Looks good and a little easy to find (and not overlook).

    SO is a big book reader and prefers physical copies of books than the digital ones. Was a little skeptical about this purchase at the start but it really made my SO head over the heels after using it initially. Now she has no craving for physical books and is loving this one. Best bucks spent upon any tech as per SO.

    Got this for my mother as an upgrade for her old Kindle. She's really happy with the light up screen and it's usability. She has some trouble navigating it because she's not really familiar with tech, but she's been able to work through most her confusion.
