Purchased this kindle due to not being able to check out library books during the Covid-19 crisis.
Is easy to hold and pleasant to read off of.
Would highly recommend, even though I enjoy my holding of a library book, this is a good replacement.

Its wonderful to read on. Pages turn easily. Sometimes too easily. Easy to figure out how to adjust font and learn words that may not be apart of your vocabulary yet. I enjoy using it. The only part that keeps it at 4 stars, is it takes forever to find other books. But...forever may just be a first world problem. Its wonderfully priced for what you get. I definitely recommend.

This was a gift. The recepient promptly loaded dozens of books on it and was more than pleased with the results. I heard comments like "Now, I can read in the tub if I want to without messing it up." And, "I love having so many books and no space taken up when I travel."

Got impatient with Amazon Prime Day delivery being 6 weeks out, so bought this the day after. So far, excellent. Really nice to not be distracted by notifications and have your eyes go unstrained with the text.

I bought this Kindle to do my school readings, but it proved to be too much screen time for me. My girlfriend uses it to do her recreational reading and she loves it. The Bluetooth capabilities have us considering a couple audio books.

I got this for my daughter since she likes to read so much. The backlight makes it much easier to use at night. But if you leave the backlight off the thing last forever on a single charge.

I had finally gave in to purchasing one since library loans on certain titles was extremely long of a wait and some ebooks were on sale. Also carrying a book at times can be a pain even on rainy days.

I really enjoy my kindle so much! It took a little to get used to how light it was because it would slip out so easily but it has made reading on the go a dream for me and easy on my eyes at night.

Kindle Paperwhite is easy on the eyes. Don't need to look for large print books anymore. Any book I get, Kindle allows me to adjust the size of font, Style of font, darkness or boldness of letters and brightness of page! Fantastic!
