    This Kindle is the best. The white background is perfect. Easy to use. Holds up in the tropical heat, water, and even the occasional fall.

    The best e-reader out there. No glares and you can read in any lighting. Thin, lightweight and compact. I love the back light and font adjustments.

    Bought this for my husband as a gift. The anti-glare screen is perfect on his eyes. He enjoys reading now on his Kindle instead of reading books installed on his phone and doesn't squint now when he reads.
