I love being able to read at night in bed with no light on! The backlit pages do not keep my husband awake.

I really love my Kindle. It's the second one I've had after the first one dying just after the one year warranty expired. Luckily I'd added on a two year warranty so I was covered (I recommend you do that too). best Buy gave me no problems, and just gave me a new one.
It's wonderful to have so many books available with just a click. There are many free books to be had, and many of them are quite good - if they're not - just delete them.

I love this new Kindle! I’ve had the 2015 version for a few years and when I read reviews on this one, I knew I needed it. It’s SO much faster and responsive! I’ve never used audiobooks before, but I’m so glad that this one has the capability to connect to a Bluetooth listening device so I can start getting through more books, especially while I’m driving long distances for work.

You can read books on your phone or tablet but I prefer the reading experience of the Kindle. Only complaint is it is a little pricey for what it is, but guess I felt it was worth it (on sale)
