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.

I've been flying through books 📚 it's so convenient to take with me and comfortable on my eyes. It's so light weight and functional, I just pop it in my purse and head out the door. I got the ad free version and I'm glad I did. Having the cover as the screen saver is awesome. The touch screen responds quickly and the lighting makes reading in every light possible.

I purchased the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (newest model) for my mother for Christmas, and it ended up being one of the best gifts I’ve ever given her. She is not very tech savvy, so I was a little worried at first, but it has been incredibly easy for her to learn and use. The new 7 inch glare free display is crisp and comfortable to read on, even in bright light, and the faster performance makes navigating through books feel smooth and responsive. She especially loves how lightweight it is compared to holding a physical book, and the battery life really does last for weeks, which means she rarely has to think about charging it. Setup was simple, downloading books is straightforward, and the overall experience is very user friendly. If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for someone who loves to read, especially someone who is not super into technology, this is an excellent choice.

Love it 90% of the time. Reading on it is pretty great and it's very sturdy. Ive read around 500 books on it so far and if you just want it to read it's hard to compare the battery life and general ease of use. I don't have a screen protector and I don't have the case and I can confidently say this thing doesn't need that protection. Ive dropped it, chipped the outside edge bumper somehow and it's been smashed at least a few times. Works fine, Its pretty flexible and I think that saves it from most damage that would otherwise mess with it. It does have some issues though, Navigating the menus could be better. The touch controls can be a little frustrating sometimes even when I know how they are supposed to work. Like accidentally clicking links in books when Im trying to turn to a new page or go back to my library. Book covers look meh at best on it and sometimes I look at them using my iPad. My biggest gripe would be one handed reading. If I hold the kindle with my left hand its challenging to turn the page with a finger (the left side of the screen turns back the page) You might be wandering when you would read with one hand, lazy reading on the couch or in bed. It does seem to have issues updating with other readers, like switching between the kindle and my phone or iPad. If I only switched between my phone and tablet my pages would always be about were I left off... not so much with the kindle in the mix. That isn't normally a concern because I switch less now that I have a kindle.. but if you still want to switch devices it isn't updating activity between devices often though that gives an opportunity to read different things on other devices which ive done and that is nice sometimes too. Ive never tested kindle unlimited on it, so no thoughts on how it is with their service. Buying books is better on almost any other device besides the kindle, it excels as a reader and is really good in that niche. The web browser and scrolling in menus feels like bathing in oily sand paper and there needs to be a way to ignore books in both the library and in various parts of the store the options available to do either are pretty bad. Permanently delete from library is kind of an extreme solution to ignoring books I don't want to see anymore or aren't good enough to reread anytime soon and removing something from the kindle homepage in recommendations won't actually remove it from recommendations in other kindle sections... like "based on your library" or "Continue a Series You've Started". No means no kindle/amazon make the bad books stop. My primary entertainment is books this is a must buy for anyone like that.
