    Bought this for my wife to replace an old unit that didn't have a backlight. I was leery about the "with special offers", but it's no big deal. Now, I think I may get one for myself!

    This is the best Kindle I've owned yet. This is my 3rd kindle, and by far my favorite. The backlight is great and makes it clear and ready to read in the dark.

    Not great as a tablet but if you're just looking to read books through the amazon store you'll love this E-reader. Works fast and can last days to a month on 1 charge depending on your usage.

    My son loves his new Kindle. It combines his love of reading and electronics. I love that it can withstand spills, really lightens his backpack and is easy on his eyes. It’s highly recommended.

    Did not think I would like this at first. However once it was set up I actually like it better than my original kindle. Easy to read and compact.

    This was purchased for my aunt who is in her 80s. She wanted another E-reader to replace one she had that broke. We decided to get this one because of the non-glare surface and then thin size. This is not an easy to maneuver device and it is difficult for my aunt to learn how to move around once she is on it. The print is way too small on the home screen and in the library and when you are searching for books. There is no way to make that font larger, only when you are reading a book. She is keeping it because the size makes it convenient for traveling, but I don't know that I would recommend this for an older person or for someone who has trouble reading small font. I am in my 40s and not quite into reading glasses but I had a hard time reading the font.

    I so enjoy the kindle to read stories on. This is my second one. The first one finally died I used it so much. I went that very day to get the new one. It is very easy to use.

    I am reviewing a replacement Kindle. The original one had a battery issue. It took a long time to charge and it did not hold the charge. The second one was much better. I especially like having the ability to listen to audio books.

    This e-reader is a convenient size to hold in one hand and its lighting options are easy on the eyes. Some of the many available functions are a bit difficult to figure out, but this is a minor inconvenience. Overall, it is a very good product that does what it is designed to do.
