    I have a fire and the polished face makes it almost impossible to read outdoors. The paperwhite text and non-reflective face is easy on the eyes, I also like the water resistance.

    Pros: Light weight, great in sunlight. Cons: Controls aren't intuitive and can be a little slow to respond. Bought it to read on a bigger screen than my phone, and outdoors in bright sun. I'm happy with it and Best Buy made the purchase and pickup easy.

    Battery life is great. I would take 1/2 star because of the lag on changing screens where you are left with a shadow of the previous page. Not awful just something I wish they could work out.

    If you like to read you’ll enjoy the kindle. The words are crisp on the screen and viewable in all kinds of light. Love to read when the room is dark with the built in backlight.

    I had to buy a new Kindle when my old one bit the dust, and love my new one because it has a longer battery life, and I can also load audible books.

    I put off buying a paperwhite too long. I've been reading on my tablet for years and finally got fed up with dealing with the glare. Now I can read on my outdoor patio. I was also worried that the screen would be so small that I would be constantly turning pages, but the resolution is so good that I don't have to enlarge the font size too much at all. All around excellent experience and I'm happy with my purchase.

    This new kindle paperwhite e reader is way better than my old kindle. Easier to read with the high resolution. When reading outside there is no glare. But the biggest plus for me is the battery life.
