    My daughter loved her kindle and gets lots of use. Works well with her visual impairment and it's a great item to have.

    I bought this for my husband so he could read books from anywhere. So far he likes it but the user interface is not as intuitive as we thought it would be (certainly not as easy as a smart phone). Other than that, it serves the purpose I bought it for. By the way, the Kindle did not come with an AC adapter to charge the unit, just a USB cord. However, we found we could plug the cord into a spare AC plug we had and it charges fine.

    I bought this Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader as a Christmas gift for my Son. It is very high quality and works great. BestBuy had the lowest price of any retailer during the holiday season and it was shipped for free to our door. BestBuy should be your first choice for technology purchases throughout the holiday season as well as throughout the year.
