Overall, it's a great Kindle. It has been awhile since I've had one and I definitely missed the convenience. The screen has gone out on me once, and it's not very responsive. It kind of feels like it's 8 year old tech, but still works fine!

This was my first time to try Kindle. I like the fact that it looks like papers so my eyes don’t hurt while reading, but the system is pretty dated and slow. I don’t mind as it is just for reading books, but it’s time for them to update for sure…

Needed a new kindle for the wife. She enjoys using it every day to read a variety of books. Basic, simple, and reliable.

It took a while to adjust to this version of the Kindle. The previous one I owned was mush easier to navigate. Am learning to use it and all of its features.

My previous kindle was from about 2014. The Paperwhite reader is a lot more crisp and clear than my previous one. It is a much better reading experience with the Paperwhite.

Purchased for my 11-year old son. Great to have a “device” that doesn’t have bright lights, Internet access, or games. He uses it for several hours a day and after 6 weeks we have seen no issues.

For reading, with glare-free display that reads like real paper, even in direct sunlight. Adjustable front light lets you read for hours—indoors and outdoors, day and night

Easy to download library books.
I like the lit screen but there’s a funky white lighted spot on it and the pages jump around sometimes (perhaps I’m bumping something on the touchscreen) so I keep losing my place.

This Kindle is lightweight and the 6" size makes it convenient to carry it anywhere I go. It has made reading easy on my eyes with the paper white color.

Great e-reader to read in the sun. It is easy to navigate. It is very light weight. Only issue I have is because the reader is only 6" i have to constantly scroll to next page

I love my new kindle for the most part. The only disappointment I have is that the brightness is not like the other one that we have. This one is not as bright as our other one even on the highest level.
Other than that I love it. It has been a God-send with the libraries closed.

I have an overall hatred for paper books for many reasons. This is my first reader, I used to use a tablet. Stupid Samsung doesnt support old tablets, so i needed something, and here it is.

I was hesitant to buy into the whole e-reader concept, always preferred books. But it's a lot easier to lug around when traveling and the paper white font is easy on the eyes.

I'm very happy with the Kindle.
It was on sale and the last one at the store near my home, so I was pleased to get it.
Always easy and a good experience when shopping at Best Buy.
