    Great for my parents to read on the beach or at the pool. Simple device that’s perfect for books but that’s about it.

    My husband loves it. He wasn’t sure at first, change is hard. Once he started using it he wondered why he waited so long.

    I never thought I would be a kindle person but I travel so much that it didn’t make sense to be packing around multiple books. I love this kindle, it’s light and waterproof and can easily be read in every sort of lighting! The battery lasts forever and I love the features it has. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone!

    When my Nook Color could not be updated I decided on purchasing this Kindle. I was disappointed that it only showed in Black and White. I understand that it saves battery and memory but not even on the front screen? Also, the Nook connected to the internet in general and not JUST to Amazon books. On a good note, the Kindle Paperwhite is very lightweight and easy on the eyes.
