  • Great for any reader!
Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GB Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported Color: Black
Got this for my mom who loves to read on her phone but has a hard time seeing. This seems to be good quality, and the battery lasts a long time. I think the size of it is really nice, just about the right size of a book. I do recommend getting a case and a pop socket for it to protect your investment, and the pop socket for easily holding while laying down and more comfortable on your wrist. ... show more

  • Love it
Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported Color: Black
This is my second or third Kindle Paperwhite. I got my first one, after researching for my specific needs, many years ago. Got a most wonderful actual leather cover with magnetic closure. I used it for years, then they came out with a larger format. So I traded mine in. Ordered what I thought would be the same leather cover, just sized for the larger Kindle. Instead receiver the most awful synthetic something, but it did the job. Eventually gave that to a family member. Got my nre Paperwhite with the cork cover. I like the "hand" of the cork, and a couple of years in, it's holding up well to frequent use. Originally I wanted a Kindle to take when I was out of town and didn't want to transport books. This gave me more freedom as when i was finished with a book, I could either access one I'd already purchased from my library, or I could shop Amazon's vast collection at any hour or weather or location. It was small and light enough that I could easily carry it in my purse. If my flight was delayed, it was right there with me, easily accessed. I still like holding a book in print, but for convenience I think this is hard to beat. Also, the Paperwhite seems to be more easily read in most light. My Fire has color and is not as versatile, especially in the sun. Battery seems to last forever, both while reading, and for the life it - I've never had a battery go bad or die as charges last and last, but the last I was aware, you could send your dead Kindle back to Amazon and they would replace for a minimal fee (may not still be available but never had to use). All in all, I'm extremely pleased with my Kindle. ... show more

  • This device has re-Kindled my love for reading!
Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported Color: Black
Since the very beginning of the e-reader era, I had always sworn I would never purchase one. I was proud of being a biblio-purist, and felt that e-readers we're an affront to the ancient, iconic charms of printed literature. Reading a good book could not possibl provide the same experience when done so through the cold and impersonal electronic haze that encased e-readers. How could one derive the same experience that was provided from physical flipping throught dog-eared pages showing sings if all those who had tried through those printed words countless times before, and more to come. Feeling the best of it in your hands carrying the weight of reality, the ever-changing smells that evolved during a book's lifetime from papermill-new, the must and dust that could create olfactory imagery from old, well-used libraries, and the character of cigar-lounds and cognac snifters. These sensations could add timeless, hefty qualities to the works of literature contained therein. I also found afront in that electronic literature kept readers away from the already dying icon of the corner bookstore, and the charms of slowly perusing aisles and aisles of books with others who shared a similar driving passion. And to sip an afternoon capucino on the front patio of such a bookstore was a sublime pleasure that compared to no others. Then slowly, insidiously over the course of years, my reading frequency decreased. Part of it was due to the inevitable demands for time and attentions that increased age brings with increased responsibilities, but a large part was played by less and less time and energy I had available to make it to the bookstore or library. Slowly at first, but inevitable to the point at which I had simply quit reading without being accutely conscious of it. In would purchase an occasional book, but found that reading simply had become increasingly difficult to make happen. Books would get left in public places, or otherwise lost. Finding room for one in napsack before going on an afternoon bike ride impeded the desire to read. Sometimes I justwould tire of the unavoidable spills, stains, and mistreatments that eventually occured to my books, through no lack of love but due to my somewhat active and chaotic lifestyle. Then one day after watching a new film adaptation of one of my favorite novels, I had the strong urge to re-read the book. I, however, was on a late-night work schedule that made it extremely challenging to conduct any sort of business or errand-running during daylight hours. Being a devoutly active Amazonian, I was aware of a recent significant sale on Kindles. I ran through a few thought-processes and determined there was little risk of harm in making a small investment in the potential re-Kindling of a long-lost love. I can't put my Kindle down. I am utterly amazed at the e-ink technology that allows this reading magic to happen. I'm in love with the changeable, resizeable fonts (I can actually read even if I've mis-placed my glasses). The dictionary look-up feature, the ability to highlight passages, easily flip through pages and bookmark them easily, the adjustable side-lighting and color temperature... have all enamored me with the device and customizable technology. And the ability to carry an entire library around with me in my pocket still boggles my mind! I have read more in the month and a half that I've owned my Kindle than I have in the last 2 or 3 years. I'm a romantic, tactile person, and while it is a bit nostalgically sad that independent booksellers are losing business and may indeed be a dying breed... well, times change and not always in the precise way we'd like them to. But if e-readers can promote and increase reading and the appreciation of literature, while possibly removing some roadblocks to publication for young, unestablished authors... well I can't see that as a bad thing. ... show more

  • The Perfect Blend of Portability, Battery Life, and Convenience
Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GB Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported Color: Black
The battery life of the Kindle is incredible. I use it almost every day, and it lasts for weeks on a single charge. What makes this feature even better is how useful it is when I travel. As an international student, I often have long flights back and forth between my home country and school. With the Kindle, I can easily read for hours during a flight without worrying about my battery running out. For anyone who travels a lot, the Kindle is a must-have. It makes long-distance travel so much more enjoyable and hassle-free. The portability of the Kindle is a game-changer. As someone who travels constantly, packing physical books can be a huge headache. Instead of packing heavy and bulky books in my luggage, I can carry thousands of books in a lightweight device. This not only saves a lot of space in my luggage but also means I do not have to pay extra for overweight luggage when travelling. The Kindle is slim and portable, so it fits easily into most bags. One of the most helpful features of the Kindle is its built-in dictionary tool. What I love about this is that this eliminates the need to pull out my phone to look up the meanings of new words, which can be a distraction. On my phone, I would often get sidetracked by notifications, social media, or random apps. With the Kindle, the dictionary is right at my fingertips, and I can focus entirely on reading. The Kindle has made a big difference in my life as an international student. Its long battery life, portability, and dictionary features make it super practical for reading and travelling. If you are looking for an efficient way to manage your reading, I would highly recommend a Kindle. ... show more
