    The upgrade in memory and the waterproof addition make this a much needed upgrade from my older model. Well worth the price.

    Have had it for about a month and have read 4 books so far. I can read the print just fine even in the sunlight. No color and a bit difficult getting used to the home page but overall it's a good product. I would definitely recommend it.

    The backlight is nice and easy on the eyes, but truly, the magic of a Kindle is that it’s like reading newsprint that you can customize the font and size.

    My old Kindle would no longer hold a charge so I got the new PaperWhite reader and love it. My bookshelf transferred without a hitch. I just wish I could figure out how to reverse the type to white on a black page, like my old Kindle did.
