Bought this for my wife as she loves to read, but doesn't care for physical books since she goes through them so quickly. It's fantastic, battery seems to last forever!

Kindle paperwhite is the best choice for readers. It does not reflect the sunlight. You have backlight to read at night so you don't disturb your partner. I love this product!

This is my fourth Kindle. I’ve had about all the versions. This one is for my wife. The paperwhite is great in the sun during the day and at night. The weight and size is great as well.

I love how light this new Kindle is. Pages turn somewhat differently than I was used to with my old one, but learned how. Mainly got it so that I could read in sunlight. Does that.

The Kindle is great for traveling, easier to pack and a lot lighter than a book. It's also great for changing light conditions, since brightness is easily adjusted.

I love reading physical books, but this is so much better. The display is almost identical to a physical book, and I have dozens of books on the device.
