    I’ve had a couple kindle prior to this and upgraded to the 2024 paper white. It’s a phenomenal piece of technology for people who like to read. Extremely fast, responsive, screen looks great. I love the Jade color with the Jade Amazon case. I was happy Best Buy had it in stock because it was out of stock for weeks on Amazon’s website. I tried the colorsoft from Amazon and was pretty disappointed in the screen and color accuracy. It just looked washed out. Very happy with this signature paperwhite instead.

    I love it! It has been a great way to read my books and I love that the screen light auto adjusts. I have been impressed with the battery life. I use it a couple of hours a day and it still has 75% of the battery left since charging it about a month ago. I also love that it is light weight and the size. I have been having trouble with carpal tunnel and it has made reading so much easier and more comfortable. Highly recommend!

    Best version of the kindle in my opinion. Vibrant screen, even in direct sunlight. L It's lght-weight, and comfortable to hold, while also having an amazing battery life. There's also almost no delay when flipping pages. The words update almost immediately! It's so much faster than my old kindle paperwhite.

    I like that i dont have any distractions while i read. I have ADHD which was the issue reading from my IPAD. I got distrated easily with random thoughts and would end up watching YouTube videos all night. I have read 4 books in a month. I like how i am able to take it everywhere i go because its light and slim. I am also able to read while i workout on the elliptical or treadmill at the gym. I havent dislike anything about it yet.

    This is my first time using a kindle reader! I love the size and color of the device itself. I do wish there was an easier home button and ability to download books across different ebook platforms, the battery life is great and it seems very durable while holding it and taking it on trips.

    I purchased the Kindle Signature Edition as a more convenient way to read my books without the harsh glare of blue light from other tablet devices. It has been a game changer. The ease of having my collections of books stored in one place with a simple tap of the screen. It is the perfect size to fit in most bags & deep pockets. If you’re in a fast paced city, it’s a great device to have to kill time whether on public transit or while waiting to meet up with friends & loved ones - getting your reading in where you can. The ability to research words on the spot & highlight areas of a book that resonate with you or catches your eye is amazing. Two of the best apps that have aided in my newfound love for Kindle are Good Reads & Libby. You will not be disappointed.

    I have owned every version of Kindle. I currently have the Kindle Scribe, but have found it to be too large and heavy to carry around daily for reading books. So with some hemming and hawing I purchased another Paperwhite. I am always trying to reduce the number of devices I am keeping up with, but I have to admit I really enjoy reading on the Paperwhite! It is my favorite of all the e-readers Amazon offers due to its size, weight, and being waterproof. I was a little drawn to the new color Paperwhite, but didn't go with it because people commented the colors weren't that vibrant. If I want to read something colorful like a cookbook I use my iPad.

    When you read books a lot, you look for the nicest way to do that electronically - and after looking through all the options - I chose this and I am very happy with how clear the text is, how great it is in both bright and dark light, and just in general the battery lasts forever.

    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.

    Not too shabby for a not-Oasis!

    I have a 2019 Oasis that I love, but it’s starting to be frustratingly slow. I resisted the new Paperwhites for a while because I was hoping for an updated Oasis, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen, so I got the Paperwhite Signature Edition last month. So far it’s been great. Relatively snappy performance, a bright auto adjust display, and crazy battery life (I’ve had it for over a month and I’ve charged it once). My only gripe is that it’s not an Oasis :)

The Paperwhite Signature Edition's 7-inch display, wireless charging, and 32 GB storage make it an excellent alternative, and I appreciate you sharing your feedback as it helps other customers make informed upgrade decisions. Enjoy your new Paperwhite! AmazonDevices

    Kindle is exactly as I thought it would be. Long lasting battery, 32 GB is enough storage for 5 weeks of travel and, paired with a cover this should last for years. And, there are lots of places to get free books to read too.

    Picked this one up for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She did get the Kindle Scribe but there ended up being something wrong with the screen so she returned it to Amazon. So I picked this Kindle instead and she loves this one a lot better. She says its a much better size for her. The Kindle Scribe was too big and the extra cost to write on the Scribe wasnt worth it she said. This one is perfect for her, it has a great battery life and the built in light is great for reading on it anytime of the day in any setting. The Signature edition also has more storage and wireless charging which is a nice upgrade as well. Having to use a computer to transfer your own Epub books you purchased from other sites to the Kindle is a little bit of a pain but not difficult, other than that it's a great device.

    Paperwhite improves in 4/5 areas over the original

    I like the paperwhite as an upgrade to my original kindle. Page turning is faster, battery life is longer (though lets be honest 6 weeks for the original is still pretty great compared to smart phones). And the lighting is much improved. It is slightly larger and heavier and though it doesn't seem like 53 grams would be noticeable, it does after an hour of holding the paperwhite over your head while in bed. All in all though, it is worth the upgrade unless the smooth glass feel and slight gloss of the paperwhite is a concern.

    Absolutely love this Kindle. I finally bought this and set aside my old paperwhite with keyboard. It’s much smaller, lighter and easy to hold. I’m still learning to navigate; but, I’ll get there!

    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.

    It was a gift for my daughter, and she is so happy to get this special edition. With this Kindle, reading is a luxurious experience. You will appreciate the comfort, technology and elegant design… 1- The high-resolution screen is crisp, clear and perfect for long reading sessions. Adjustable lighting and automatic light sensor make reading comfortable in any environment, from sunlight to total darkness. 2- Wireless charging makes it much more convenient. 3- With 32 GB, that's huge! 4- The advantage of “0” ads! No distractions. 5- The matte screen minimizes reflections, so you will love it. 6- Depending on the use, the battery can last for weeks.
