    I purchased this because it was waterproof, and that gives me a level of comfort while reading around water. I love the size, you can read in the sunshine, and the battery life is good. Fits easily in my purse, where my tablet was a little too large to carry around. This is light and great to be able to pull out to read while passing time.
