    I had to upgrade my kindle oasis due to it being 7-8 years old. I was a little nervous going back to OG paper white because I loved my oasis. However, I’m glad I did I love it! It’s fast definitely love the bigger screen and the battery life is amazing, I haven’t charged it yet. The only thing I could say Best Buy could improve on, is having stock available under the displays, it was empty and the store was empty and I had to wait quit a bit for service. Now if the display was stocked I would’ve been in and out.

    Been absolutely loving this item since purchasing it! It's made reading so convenient on the go for me. There are so many options for font style and sizing, I love that you can see how much time you have left in a book/chapter, and it's so easy to hold and use.

    The Kindle Paperwhite is the best thing I could have ever purchased, and I received a great deal on it. It is lightweight, holds a great charge, and I love that we can toggle between light and dark mode. Makes reading on the eyes a bit easier depending on the time of day. Overall, I’d give this a 10 star rating if I could. You won’t be disappointed.

    Good screen and very lightweight. Would prefer a direct ability to use library apps like libby as i get it isn't a tablet but should be fully versatile for books by now

      Posted .

      Hello wackermd. Thank you so much for your feedback and review! I agree that having direct access to Libby and Overdrive and other similar library apps within the Kindle would be terrific. As you stated, it is not a tablet and does not use an Appstore like smartphones and tablets do. However, there are very easy and quick ways to link your Libby or Overdrive app directly to your Amazon account so that when you use the app on your phone to take out a book, you can tap Read with Kindle and it shows up directly in your on device library. This makes it where you don't need to use an app on your Kindle. It is good feedback and we are constantly working to improve upon our products and services through feedback just like yours so we thank you! I hope you have a terrific day! AmazonDevices

    Bought for my wife she had one that was like 10 years old and finally died. She was skeptical at first after reading reviews. The more she uses it the more she likes it. Screen ia bigger pixels are bright and crystal clear and pages turn at lightning speed compared to old model she had. Being able to use block to charge is a.bonus. I think the negative reviews may be initial reactions for people.upgrading from really old models. Once you use and get used.to it you i promise you wont regret your purchase. I dont use myself this is feedback from my wife who has.to be the pickiest person on earth. You wont regret your purpose.

    I bought this Kindle paperwhite as a gift for my daughter for Christmas and she's a avid the creator and she loves it. She loves it so much better than her other Kindle in any other reader she's had she said it's far superior to trying to read off her phone. She absolutely loves it and I had to order it from my Best Buy store and it was a very easy process. The customer service representative was extremely knowledgeable and kind and it came exactly when it was supposed to and I got emails every step of the way and I just come in store and picked it up and it was very customer friendly process

    The Amazon kindle is a great ereader with impressive battery life. Very easy to use and setup. I had it up and running in minutes. Also the Libby/Overdrive library connection is super quick and easy making borrowing from your local library a breeze.

    Super fast and very customizable. Switched from an older kindle to this and I am very happy with my decision. My 11 year old used it for a bit and he wants one now which is shocking because he doesn’t like to read.
