    Not being tech savvy ,I've resisted Kindle for a long time, I had to get one when all the library's closed, It's taking some trial and error but I've learned how to change print size, brightness,ratings and getting books. I can't believe why I waited so long. Any book available I can get instantly, no more ordering them from the catalogs, then having to go pick them up. Or returning them. I'm hooked. and don't see going back to books, unless no other option of availability.

    I have had a kindle for a long time. I used it primarily when I travel, and with COVID, I have not traveled in a long time. I could not find my kindle anywhere and I was going traveling in a short time. Best Buy had exactly what I wanted and shipped it quickly. Now I can lay in the sun and read again. Love the convenience of traveling with the lightweight, easy to read with plenty of storage.

    Product is exactly as described. Set-up was incredibly easy, with clear instructions. I've had my eye on a paperwhite kindle for months, and jumped at the opportunity when these went on sale. My only complaint is that the battery life isn't actually as hearty as they advertise it to be, or maybe I'm just an avid reader. At full charge, it will usually only take me a day of reading (maybe 6 hours?) to get it down to 85%. Still, not too bad.

    This is a nice upgrade from the basic Kindle. Back lighting is good and having the bezel be flush with the screen is a real plus.
