    This purchase has been a game changer! Reading at night time or in low light is now much easier.

    Great for mobility (it's small enough), but large enough for the eyes. If you love reading, this is it!

    Should have kept last generation model. This is full of quirky little glitches. I don't know if is just a defective one or it's inherent in this new model. I.E. turning pages by tapping on right side, sometimes it will just jump back two or three pages, does this frequently. Really messes with your reading. Font doesn't stay on setting, charge indicator is faulty. Other than that is still good old Kindle, and I read a lot, this is my third kindle paperwhite.

    The Kindle is nice and I'm able to read a lot of books at no cost on it through our local library. The special offer that was offered with it was disappointing though. It was $25.00 off on another company's website, but it was only good on regularly priced items and everything on that website was on sale and it doesn't include shipping and handling.

    The best Paperwhite yet. The new flush design is a great change from the previous. Storage is a must for audiobooks.
