  • Perfect for travel...and the rest of your days
So I came into possession of this little guy due to a late night Amazon impulse buy a few days before leaving for vacation. I was going on a weeklong trip with my family and didn't want to have to bring my ipad (what I usually use to read) or any actual books with me on the plane. Let me preface this by saying I am an avid reader, spending the majority of my free time reading...and have been for most of my life. My siblings lament to anyone listening about the horror of summer road trips, riding in the back of our family sedan, fighting for leg room because I always had at least 5-6 books at my feet to read during our travels. You should hear the way my sister grumbles at even the mere mention of a car ride with me (She horribly dramatic) but I digress. I also used to have a nook e-reader, an original model Kindle from way back in the day that no longer works, and have the kindle app on my ipad which I use to read most days. So I am familiar with e-reading. This kindle is quite possibly the best purchase I've ever made. It's basically pocket sized so it was extremely portable. I brought it with me everywhere; On the plane, in the car, in my bag to restaurants...I even managed to fit it in a particularly spacious pocket of an oversized jean jacket I wore on cooler nights. It's amazing. It was comfortable enough to hold in one hand, or two, depending on what I preferred at the time. The various light options on the kindle, including the warm light feature makes it easy to read regardless of where I was and what kind of lighting is available, without eye strain. I shared a room with family for a couple of nights and the dark mode feature barely emits light past my immediate person, so I was able to read into the wee hours of the morning if I wanted to without disturbing my family sleeping in the same room, or sacrificing my precious reading time. ( I get particularly sassy if I'm interrupted in the middle of a discovering a plot twist in a juicy novel, i'm just saying). You are able to customize lots of the settings, such as the fonts, size, spacing and layout, so that the books look however you want them to while reading. (I definitely used that feature to make the font smaller and more compact while I read an embarrassingly cringleworthy, but suprisingly emotional and fantastic, harlequin romance novel while on the plane. It's nobody's business why I was practically sobbing into my complimentary pretzels after the protagonists romantic interest declared his love to her for the first time, thank you very much) I also may, or may not have had a TINY accident in which I spilled my entire 32oz water bottle full of water all over my pants and my kindle. After squealing in alarm at how cold the water was, I was able to get my bearings, wiped the water off the kindle, changed my pants and continued reading. I have noted no damage whatsoever to my kindle and that was at the beginning of my trip well over a week ago now. After reading every day for at least 4-6 hours per day/night for 7 days straight I had 57% battery left over. I think the battery is supposed to last for 2 weeks maybe? IDK. Basically it lasted a long time, long enough for me to be impressed. Also, I downloaded at least 15 new books on there, not to mention the impressive collection of books I already owned and was able to sync to the device, and I still have over 4GB of space available to use. I have since named the kindle Kurt, as I feel emotionally connected to the device after our adventures together these past weeks. If you are a super bookworm like me, or are just trying to finish a whole book for the first time, I highly recommend this device for purchase. I think it was worth the money a thousand times over. And if after reading this you do decide to purchase it, I hope you love it just as much as I do. ... show more

  • Good Buy for my Very First Kindle buy
Option: With 3 Months Free Kindle Unlimited Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GB Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported Color: Black
I'm an avid reader & always wanted a reader for all my books - just my books. Bought this for my introduction into Kindles as I never had one before and I decided why not try it out. Can't say it was a bad one - actually it was a very good one. Took the Paperwhite Kindle 6.8" locked ad 16gb for my first and I appreciate it. Got me the Kindle + Kindle unlimited subscribtion. What I like about the Kindle: This reader is wonderful and saves my eyes from the glare of the phone or tablet I once used. Apart from the glare free screen, I like that I can be on a bus reading, with the sunlight pouring through, or sitting outside in the bight environment of day light and I have no problems reading the screen. At night, I can set the screen and read comfortable as well. Yes, its easy on the eyes. The ads run when the screen is closed and isn't a bother while on & reading. The kindle goes on for days without having to charge. YES! I had to test out that particular line "up to 10 weeks of battery life". 10 weeks is a stretch if you're a reader reading daily - If you're a reader who reads off and on or every two days or so, it could probably last up to 10 weeks. But as long as you're a frequent user reading - it can last up to about 10 days (almost or 2 weeks). The battery life is great! I also decided to try the waterproof theory but not too much (lol) I was reading one day while at a funeral, and rain decided to pour down a bit. I stood there under the light drizzle but not the pouring rain - so, i'll say the screen is waterproof, not sure about the emersion theory. Definitely good on storing books. Before I received my kindle, as an author new to the Bookstagram community, I found some good deals such as "Stuff Your Kindle Day" or other free books download and began downloading to my account. When received my E-reader, and got it set up, had about almost 3000 books. So, the storage is pretty okay. I don't have Audible nor a subscription for audio books - so, I can't exactly say that the audio hands free is a go. I have to give this a try as I have a audio book trial to listen to and will give an update on this later. Perspective: The device is great, easy to use, great for traveling with. It's thin, lightweight and battery life last long (not the whole 10 weeks) like I explained above (rolls eyes). Definitely can use at the beach, river, waterfalls, springs (bodies of water) as long as you're careful not to lose it (lol). Shades of pages can be changed, or you can schedule the light changes, Can adjust the size of the font you wish to use to read. The screen is black and white - as in the colored cover of books won't be seen. But I'm good with that. This is only for Amazon Kindle reader - No other books apps can be used on the kindle. You can read, pdf files (don't really like how some of these pdfs read on it & I more prefer the epubs), epubs. Haven't bothered to try other files...I do know that on my app on my phone, png, jpeg would be seen. I think it's good for the price I got it for. Recommend or Not? Why not? If you're new to the books e-readers like me, I see nothing wrong in giving it a chance to see if you're into having just a kindle or if you'd prefer a tablet e-reader where you can have the Kindle app and other ebook apps as well for your reading. (If you looking for a reader to host kobo, bookfunnel library, booksprout app, etc then buy a tablet this won't do). If you have no problem with having a read that shows your book covers black & white, sure get it. There are other kindle that cost more with the colored cover display. Other than that, Yes I recommend it. ... show more
