  • Hold A Thousand Books in Your Hand
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
Imagine holding a thousand books in your hand. Imagine wearing your jammies while getting that next book in your series, and starting into it a minute later. Imagine reading at night in bed without needing a lamp because your book is backlit (and the light doesn’t hurt your eyes). Imagine having your kindle read to you (even if you don’t have audiobooks) with text to speech while you drive or fold laundry. The 12th edition of the Kindle Paperwhite is a fabulous device and well-worth considering if you read a lot. It’s not too big, not heavy, waterproof, and easy to carry in your purse or backpack. Note that if you get a cover with it (highly recommended), when you open the cover the Kindle turns on automatically to the last page you were reading. With the cover open it feels like you’re holding a thin book -- or fold back the cover if you prefer. The Kindle E-reader is not a computer. It’s not a tablet or a phone. It is a gizmo that acts like a book with a black-and-white flat e-ink screen showing typed sentences and paragraphs. You turn pages one at a time, just like a book. There is no movement on the page and no distraction or advertisement*. It is just text, plus any images that the author has included to illustrate his book. *NOTE: The advertisements on the Kindle are on the main page not the individual book pages and just show books you might like. They are unobtrusive. The backlighting, unlike a computer, tablet, or phone, is gentle because the Kindle’s light is directed onto the screen, not into your eyes. You can change lighting level and add warmth (yellow lighting), decide on dark screen or light screen, and change the size of the print to make your reading experience “just the way you like it.” It’s super-simple to access your own ebooks or to find new ones either on your computer or directly on the Kindle. They load in less than a minute onto the Kindle, ready for reading. Keep in mind if you are a reader that ebooks tend to be half or less the price of the same books in print. You can even find FREE ebooks and audiobooks on Amazon and/or use the Libby app (libbyapp.com) to borrow LOCAL LIBRARY books. You may want to consider subscribing to Kindle Unlimited for $12/month so you can download an even wider selection of free ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines from Amazon to keep as long as you want. Can you tell I love my Kindle? I am wowed by having so many books so easily accessible — not like the time I took that 5-hour flight with one crummy poorly written book and nothing else to do. This 12th generation Kindle is fantastic. The battery lasts a long time. The screen is plenty sensitive for page turns and navigation. I go through one or two books a week easy with this little device. Ebooks have revolutionized the publishing industry, and if you are a reader, the Kindle may be exactly what you’re looking for. If you read many ebooks on your phone or a tablet, consider being kind to your eyes with a Kindle. If you are resisting because you aren’t sure you’ll like ebooks as well as print books, I say what the heck, the Kindle may be worth a try. It’s like driving a racing car rather than a horse and buggy. You might decide you love it. * NOTE: To enable TTS (text to speech) so that your kindle can read to you without audiobooks, turn on your wireless headphones or speaker. Then on your Kindle, tap the top of the screen, then hit the three dots on the right. Go to Settings. Hit Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, then Bluetooth Devices. Select your device so your Kindle will recognize it. Next, close the window and go back to Settings. Hit Accessibility, then turn on Voiceview screen reader. The Kindle should start talking to you. If it’s glitchy, just turn off your bluetooth device then turn it on again. Remember that you have to give double taps not single taps on the Kindle to navigate actions. If you want to change the volume or reading speed (I like 1.25x) just double tap on Voiceview screen to show and customize your settings. ... show more

  • The quality, ease of use, and comfort make it a joy to read on every day.
Color: Black Option: With 3 months of Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
I absolutely love my new Kindle. My old one is about 10 years old and still works, which already says a lot about the quality, so I felt confident upgrading—and I’m so glad I did. The setup was very easy, and it wasn’t much different from my older Kindle, so the switch over was smooth and not intimidating at all. What really amazed me is how fast this one is compared to my old device. Everything loads quickly, page turns are smooth, and navigating through books and menus is effortless. It’s also very lightweight, which makes a huge difference. I can hold it for long reading sessions without my arm getting tired or sore. The screen is bright and clear, making it easy to read for long periods without straining my eyes. I also really appreciate the built-in dictionary feature—it’s so convenient to look up words instantly without interrupting the flow of my reading. Overall, this Kindle feels like a perfect upgrade while still keeping everything I loved about the older version. The quality, ease of use, and comfort make it a joy to read on every day. ... show more

  • Best e-reader around
Color: Jade Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
Seriously what's not to love. It's light, waterproof, plenty of storage space and has the most convenient ecosystem for purely an e-reader. The screen is fantastic, the backlighting is great too but I don't use it much, just use an over the should lamp. I love the fact that reading this is pretty much the same as reading a book when it comes to eye strain. I'm also a huge fan of being able to email e-books to the kindle's email address and them automatically being converted to the proper format. ... show more

  • Absolutely Wonderfull, joy to read on!!!
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
I LOVE THIS ONE!!! My old kindle paperwhite, even though over 10 years still worked and I felt a little wasteful asking for a new one. But OMG the difference is breathtaking. I didn’t know how slow my old one was until I got this one. The seamless goodreads interface. It has been a game changer. I bounce between my kindle and another big ereader brand on the market, but this became my favorite almost immediately after using it just over a week (it was a Christmas present)! Im totally enthralled. Its easy to use. I can’t say enough good things. If anyone is on the fence about it, go for it, well worth the price and reading is SO much fun on it! They knocked this one out of park!! ... show more

  • My favorite thing so far!
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
If you love to read, this Kindle is a total game changer. The newest Paperwhite is noticeably faster, and the 7" glare-free display is crisp, easy on the eyes, and perfect for long reading sessions—indoors or outside. I can read in bright sunlight with zero issues. The warm light adjustment is one of my favorite features. It makes nighttime reading so much easier and more comfortable, and I don’t feel that eye strain I get from regular screens. The battery life is amazing too—weeks, not days—which makes it great for travel. What I love: Bigger 7" glare-free screen that looks like real paper Faster page turns and smooth performance Warm light for comfortable night reading Lightweight with excellent battery life Whether you’re a casual reader or someone who tears through books, the Kindle Paperwhite is easy to use, comfortable to hold, and hard to put down. One of my favorite tech purchases—especially if you love having a whole library in your bag. ... show more
