  • Fantastic eReader — Bright, Fast, and Easy on the Eyes
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is an outstanding eReader that’s worth every bit of the hype. The display is crisp and glare-free, so reading indoors or outside in bright sunlight is comfortable for long sessions. The adjustable warm light and fast page turns make it feel much more book-like than a tablet. With 16 GB of storage, I can carry thousands of books — perfect for travel or everyday reading. Battery life is excellent; I go weeks between charges. Lightweight and comfortable to hold for hours. Whether you’re a casual reader or a bookworm, this Kindle delivers. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • 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

  • Most amazing E-Reader my kids have ever used. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
Amazing E-Reader bought 2 of my 3 sons one for Christmas and they are obsessed with it. One is an avid reader and the other reads on it frequently. The fit in cases is perfect and on stands is amazing. The adjustable brightness, blue shade adjustability, and the way you can change the mode between light and dark is amazing. The touch screen is super well designed and very responsive. It looks super sleek, and the readability is phenomenal. Overall will recommend to anyone who likes to read. (Side note. not all books are on kindle unlimited) My eldest son’s kindle had an hardware issue and Amazon sent a replacement but do ask customer service if you think something is wrong with it. (The hardware issue was a strange white line going across the screen). Some people think that 16 gigabytes of storage isn’t a lot but that can store about 8 MILLION books. ... show more

  • A proper substitute to physical books
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
The media could not be loaded. I love reading but not at the cost of inconvenience. I had limited access to books, given I travel a lot and books are bulky, eating away expensive airplane check-in baggage. I read on my phone but that strained my eyes. Mobiles have further limitations of screen size, battery consumption therefore I decided to purchase this e-reader. Among the several options, kindle paperwhite seems most worthy having all essential features and not having non-essential features. In past I stayed away from e-readers because of low screen refreshments but this is as snappy as mobile phones. I read for 9 hours in a day without backlight and had no issues with the weight or eye strain. The experience was life changing. Setting up the device is easy, screen size is perfect, backlight can adjusted to very dim and very bright and everything in between. In between reading I can switch to small talks with spouse and there is no accidental page flipping which often happens with physical books. The weight is light enough to hold for long hours, reading speed also improves compared to mobile devices. I would have appreciated physical buttons for page turning but not that I am complaining. It has about 12 GB user usable storage, large enough to hold hundreds of books. The software is user friendly and aesthetically appealing despite its B&W screen. The Ads. occasionally show up on screen and I prefer those rather than having limited few screensavers. Ads do not disturb reading activity which is most essential. ... show more

  • Love the kindle/hate the placement of the power button
Color: Raspberry Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
It’s light, easy to use, and I love the screen. I despise the on/off button at the button that I am constantly hitting on accident. Why is this not on the top where it would be out of the way?
