    I really love my Kindle Paperwhite. It makes it so convenient to read a number of books without having to carry a bulky and heavy load. The battery life is very good for even an avid reader.

    This is my second kindle. I really love this device! I use it throughout the day and night whenever i have a few minutes to read. I appreciate that i can read at night without disturbing my husband. I gave this 4 stars because it seems a bit slower than my first kindle.

    Pretty cool Kindly the only thing I could say about it is how pricey it is especially for what it does... needless to say if you’re thinking about getting an E reader let it be a Kindle!

    Perfect for reading in bed day time or especially nite time and it doesn’t bother my husbands sleep. Can pack it in your purse if you like- to read anywhere. My husband also has a kindle paper white for over 5 years now and loves it. I also bought one for my sister, and she loves it also!

    This is my first kindle but so far I love it! I love how portable it is because I take it everywhere I go and The battery life on it is also pretty awesome.. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because sometimes when I tap to go to the next page, it skips quite a few or even an entire chapter then I have to find where I left off.

    While you can use it anywhere it is great for outdoor use like at the beach. No washout and text is crisp with good contrast makes it a joy to read your favorite subjects. The price is very reasonable for the joy it delivers. Very light, easy to hold with plenty of features. Research for yourself what it can offer you.

    Great contrast. The built in light helps and can be turned on or off. I use at night because it doesn’t emit blue light like phones and tablets do. The power button is in an awkward place on the bottom of the device. It is often turned off inadvertently while reading. A small design flaw.

    Had the previous Paperwhite, this one is much nicer. Flat screen (no raised bezel), better resolution. Plastic screen, so not quite as nice as my Voyage that just died but it's a negligible difference.

    This was a gift for my mother. She enjoys reading but hates to carry books around and has trouble reading small font. This was the perfect gift for her. Easy to carry and has the ability to zoom for large print.

    This tablet is great for reading in the sun or areas that would normally be difficult to see with a glared screen. Screen looks just like actual pages of a book.

    I've been utilizing the Amazon Fire tablets for the past five years, and decided to finally go for an actual E-reader. Bottom line for me is the more versatile Fire tablets. The E-reader is limited in comparison to the Fire tablet in my view. Having said that I will keep my new Paperwhite E-reader for traveling.

    I never thought I'd ever buy a Kindle - but here I am. I love it! I was originally using the Kindle app on my iPad, to read certain books, but it would hurt my eyes. This Kindle is easy on the eyes.

    we bought two at once because it was cheaper and we wanted the Kindle brand because of their reputation. So far no problems and easy to use and read.
