seems expensive for what it can do. dont expect the same responsiveness as an iPad or other tablets - but great battery life, display is easy for reading.

Bought the Kindle Paperwhite for my wife for Christmas. After ordering it she saw an ad for the Paperwhite and said she wouldn't want one as she like the Kindle she already had. Gave it to her anyway. She loves it. Only problem we had. like a lot of others, was that the charging cable would not insert into the Kindle due to a manufacturing defect. Best Buy Chesapeake Square took care of this for us with no problem. Thank you

I have always loved reading but with a library at my fingertips and so many free books for prime members, I "chain-read" books if you will. I have read more with a Kindle than I ever have. You can even borrow books from the library on your kindle. I accidentally broke my boyfriends kindle when I dropped it on the floor, so I upgraded his Kindle to this one (same as mine) and he loves it too!
