Order arrived overnight as promised in perfect shape. Paperwhite is smaller than the original Kindle and the Kindle Fire, but my husband seems to be getting used to that.

Bought this as a present for 8-year old, and she wants to take it everywhere. A good way for kids to quickly get a book during the pandemic.

I was an early adopter and traveled a lot for work. Having the kindle made my carryons a lot lighter! The only drawback is on the newer ones the font changes for apparently no reason, which is particularly annoying.

With so many ereaders on the market today, they all can be a bit cumbersome or try to do too many things. This focuses on exactly what it is trying to do - be a digital book.

My former Kindle was a bit larger with a white frame. Unfortunately I left it on an airplane never to be seen again. My new one is ok, just smaller than I like. It’s the only size available and only comes in black. Works fine.

Exactly what I was looking for. Also the curbside pickup option was awesome; I was in and out in just a few minutes (which kept me from spending extra $$$ lol).

Quite a step-up after my basic kindle (which I also loved). However, nice to have all the bells and whistles of the Paperwhite. Love the back lighting and the compactness of it.

Honestly great for the price but if you are going to use a lot I recommend the Oasis. The backlight is very nice and quality is so much more substantial

Downloading my kindle library hit a bottleneck after a few hundred books. At 700 books, could then only download slowly one at a time. Also, the kindle shipped without its usb charger, though it was an included accessory....

Bought as a gift for my daughter and she brought it to the beach to use in the sun. She was amazed at the clarity and so was I. This reader is a champion!

Got one for both my wife and my son. They are both big readers and love it. Nice for my son knowing he can read before bed and it won't be used for playing games or the internet.

Bought this for my daughter. It allows her to read without using a tablet or her phone. As it more closely approximates paper that staring at an LCD just before bed.
