    Bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife. Replaces last Gen Kindle Paperwhite that is about 4 years old. She says it’s a worthwhile upgrade, it’s a little lighter and has more memory to store more books than the past generation. She says it also changes pages faster, probably a better processor.

    Had always been disappointed that my IOS devices were useless in direct sunlight and just assumed Kindles were the same way. Then I got know'd up on the technology E Ink. It pays to be informed. I cab read at the beach, in the hammock, a park bench. Thank you Amazon!

    I gave this to my daughter for Christmas. She doesnt use it often as the graphics fuzz out everytime she changes screen. It is much smaller than the box and barely bigger than a smart phone. So she usually just reads on her phone. No color, just black and white. She lives how dim you can make it and the incredible battery life. Probably not worth buying unless you read so much your phone would never have any battery, lol.

    I'm a Kindle person since they came out a few years ago when I bought the first one. Now they are so improve with the no glare glass. Love, love, love this baby. This purchase was for my husband. Love being able to download books. My next adventure is letting my kindle read to me.

    I have been using a Nook for at least 10 years. Needless to say this is a huge upgrade! The Kindle Paperwhite can be read in bright sunlight with sunglasses on which is exactly what I was hoping for. I like that I am able to change fonts, bold the text and enlarge the print.

    I got his as a gift for my gf. She loved and it. She immediately created an account and started downloading books on it. The only negative I would say is. It sucks how now you have to spend more money to get the one with the 3g capabilties. My two previous models of the kiddle have 3g on them for free and i didn’t have to spend more money for the higher version. But that’s how companies are making products now.
