    I almost did not purchase the kindle paperwhite E-Reader after reading the reviews. However, I thought about it and gave it a try. This was a great purchase. The Kindle Paperwhite is very LIGHT in weight. The real test was on the beach. It was so easy to read on bright days; it took me by surprise. Easy to carry in a backpack, purse, etc. since it is lightweight.

    My wife really enjoys her new Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader. It allows her to change the font so she can read easier. She doesn't have to buy hardback books anymore (unless she wants to). It saves space on our shelves. She has the capacity to store several thousand books on the Kindle and carry it around with her wherever she goes without a lot of space being used up in the car, luggage or purse. Good deal! A win-win situation.
