    Light fast e-reader with clear, sharp e-ink display that’s easy on the eyes. My wife and I have owned many kindles over the years, and this Paperwhite among the best.

    I've had a Kindle since they first came out & they just keep improving each generation. It's a great way to bring your reading material with you on a trip without taking up a lot of space.

    This was for our daughter & she loves it!! We have a Kindle E-Reader, but it doesn't have a light. She wanted one with a light, so she could read in the dark before bedtime.

    My wife has wanted a Kindle for a long time. She's happy with this, but it seemed weird that it wanted to define random words at an early reading level. We are just getting familiar with it, and google for instructions on how to use it.

    This is a fantastic e-reader. The paperwhite is fantastic. The feel of reading an actual book. You can adjust the light very nicely if you don’t want to disturb a sleeping spouse or partner

    The best budget reader out there to provide for distraction-free reading. Easy to use, excellent contrast in all light conditions makes it a go-to for wind down needs.

    My grandmother loved it and she's grown pretty used to the interface. It isn't too complex and just takes a little patience from even the most impatient of users!

    I upgraded to the new Kindle Paperwhite and it's so much lighter than the original. Easier to hold one handed. It's a little smaller than the original and it's been great. Only thing I find is that it takes a little longer to "wake up".

    This is my 3rd Kindle (2nd Paperwhite). Love it, just with the books would automatically go into a separate folder once they have been read.

    Great upgrade to my old Gen3 Kindle. The light makes all the difference. Not sorry I didn't get the Oasis, this Paperwhite is just what I was looking for.

    Purchased a new Kindle Paperwhite because my current Paperwhite was a little worn because I use it every day for a couple or more hours at the time. Really enjoy reading on my Paperwhite!

    Gave this as a gift and it works very well. Kindles are a bit slow on their processing (setup, settings changes, etc), but are outstanding for reading.
