    I love the paperwhite. My only fault is that the battery life is not up to what was written about it. I find I must recharge every few days although I only read a few hours on it each night.

    Nice e-reader. Built in LED light is helpful for reading in dark. Works well with Amazon prime library and local libraries.

    Bought for my wife as she'd been reading at bedtime on her phone. She loves it ! Now, I can see the glow of her tablet as I'm dozing off. Great gift.

    Easy to read in bright light. After using a Kindle Fire for years, it's a little difficult to find where my downloaded books are. Doesn't seem as easy to use as the Fire, but maybe I'm just set in my ways.
