    My daughter has a kindle and she enjoys it so much I decided to finally get one for myself. I didn’t know what I was missing! I enjoy reading and its so convenient to put my tablet in my purse so I can catch up on my book while sitting at the Drs office or if I’m at the office in the lunch room. Battery life is very good!

    It takes some time to set it up, let it update, connect to wifi and get your first book or sample, but as soon as you can start reading, you will never ever want to put it down and stop reading. Most of the time I go to sleep with my Kindle and reading in bed, no lights in the room, tucked in. PERFECT end to a long day :)

    This was my 3rd kindle paperwhite purchase. I have been using the amazon kindle versions for 6 years. I decided to switch this version because I gave away my previous version paperwhite to my sister. This was at similar price comparing to the previous version. The apparent things I like was 8GB memory and pairing bluetooth speaker. I am not a guy who reads books by the pool but waterproof feature is good to have in pocket. I am fine with it so far.

    I like it. I've been wanting an e-reader for years, but haven't been able to justify spending the extra money until now. Its smaller than I expected, but otherwise it does exactly what it says it does. And the waterproof part is excellent. I like to read while my toddler takes a bath, and I love not having to worry about it getting wet. For those that are curious; you can get rid of the special offers if it comes with them. This one did, and it was as simple as going to the amazon website and paying to have them removed. I believe its only 15 dollars. The same difference in cost of getting one without ads.

    Reading used to be an activity reserved for goony nerds and dopey eggheads. But now thanks to the Kindle, it's as cool as playing video games. Some would call it the original VR. I wouldn't go that far, but it makes reading books seem really rad. And now you can even read in the rain (the Kindle is waterproofed). How awesome is that? Very.

    I love my new Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader! I didn't think I would ever give up buying paperbacks & hard cover books but since my grown son & daughter got a Kindle I decided it was time for me to make the switch too. And I am glad I did. Lightweight and so easy to hold while reading my books. No matter how many pages the book has, they all weigh the same now! Love it!

    The kindle is so easy to use and I love reading on it. My favorite feature is that it allows me to rent books from my library whenever, and I don't have to worry about returns. Keeping one kindle with me allows me to have access to so many books at once. The paperwhite feauture also lets me dim and rise the backlights which is helpful when I read in the dark, or daytime.

    I had been thinking of getting a Kindle and put it off as it seemed like it would be just another screen, I'm so glad to have finally made the purchase! Although simple in form, it doesn't take long to feel how well it's designed, especially for the user experience. Reading on the paperwhite screen feels very natural and to have a library at your fingertips makes it a joy to carry with you.

    I had a Kindle Fire for almost 10 years, and it served me very well. Earlier this month, I bought a Kindle Paperwhite and I couldn't be happier! What a marvelous device. I am particularly impressed with its lightness, slim design, high quality display, and well-organized and easily navigable features. And it was very affordable. I highly recommend this product.
