    • A good compromise on price and features between the Kindle basic, and the other higher end models
It's an e-reader, so pretty much what you expect: easy to read (closest like-book reading other than reading an actual paper book), black and white, text is crisp and clear, holds tons of books (I have over a hundred downloaded, and it doesn't slow down a bit), anti-glare screen, easy to read even in bright sunlight, good battery life etc. Basically, the product description is accurate. Beyond the basics, here's my opinions: Pros - - Light weight, and compact, but still feels sturdy. - Attractive looking. (I have seen Nook's GlowLight Plus. It's ugly. This is not.) - The light looks white to me. (Nook's light is more yellow/orange, and again, less attractive to look at.) - The built in front light makes it as easy to read in the dark as in the light. And, not having to have a lamp or book light on to read makes it easier for me to fall asleep reading. When I get to that point where I'm about to fall asleep, just close the case (or, tap the lock/power button if you don't have a case), set it on the night stand, and fall asleep (no lights to turn off first, and no lights to wake you up in the night if you forget to turn them off). - Easy to hold in one hand (I also have the case made by Amazon, and it is still easy to hold in one hand) - Note: I am an adult woman with average size hands. - If you are a language learner, Kindle e-readers are awesome in general. I am a native English speaker, and I study Spanish. Kindle Store offers a variety of books in Spanish. I am reading Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal now. You can set your default dictionary to a Spanish-English dictionary (which comes with the Kindle Paperwhite by default). When you are reading, you can tap and hold on an unknown word, and if the word is in the dictionary (most, but not all are in my experience so far), the definition will pop up on the screen. This is much faster than looking up a word on a computer, cell phone, or paper dictionary, and can be done anywhere without lugging around extra device/bookss (no Wi-Fi required). Cons - - The built in light does not need to get nearly that bright. When I first turned it on (out of the box), it was jarring and unappealing. What I like about e-readers is that there is no bright light (like a cell phone), and it's more similar to reading a book. I quickly learned how to lower the brightness and even turn the front light off all together (I keep the light off when I'm reading in a lit room or outside in the sun). The max brightness I ever use is about a quarter of full strength even in an otherwise pitch black room. The good news is the last brightness setting you selected is saved, even with a restart. So, you're not bombarded with a bright light every time you turn on the device. - There is no light sensor. The brightness must be lowered or raised via the settings (although the setting for this is easy to get to from any page). - Although I can easily hold the device in one hand, it is not easy to turn the page one-handed. I am semi-ambidextrous (some things I do with my right hand, and some things I do with my left, and I am not really sure what's considered normal in terms of holding a book/e-reader.) What feels most comfortable to me is holding the device in my left hand (one-handed). If I am palming the device, my fingers don't reach around to the front right to tap the right half of the page (in order to turn the page). However, using my thumb, I can, without much difficulty, go back a page (tap the left half of the screen). So, I imagine a right-handed person (someone who holds the device one-handed in their right hand) would have a less difficult time with one-handed reading and page turning. Not sure if this is a pro or a con, but something to note. The touchscreen is not very sensitive. So, you are not likely to press things on accident. But, do note, you must tap with purpose (not forceful, but takes a heavier touch than a smartphone or tablet), or the screen may not react on the first try. In general, the cons compared to the pros are only slight for me, which is why I only took off one star. Some of the features I mentioned as missing in the cons are in the other higher end models of Kindle. I have not used these other models, but for me, the steep increase in price to the higher end models is too much for me without enough added features/benefits. The PaperWhite is a good compromise on price and features between the Kindle basic, and the other higher end models. Is it worth an upgrade to Kindle PaperWhite? Before this, I had the Kindle Keyboard. It was still fully functional when I upgraded. At full price, I am not sure this would be worth an upgrade for me. However, at the sale price from Prime Day ($30 off), it was a nice treat for myself. It is more compact since there is no keyboard, I like the addition of the front light (which can be turned off when you don't want it), and the text seems more clear to me. (Note for other Kindle Keyboard users: I find the onscreen touchscreen keyboard of the PaperWhite easier to use than the physical keyboard on the Kindle Keyboard. It is still qwerty in style, but numbers and symbols are easier to get to and use.) ... show more

    • Initial Review; I'm really torn on whether to keep it?
I thought it'd be great to have a Kindle for many years, but just never justified one. I've even read a few kindle books on the iPhone 3g and the iPhone 5s Kindle apps , so I really looked forward to the Kindle experience that everyone raves about. After years of iPhone 5s I was heartbroken not to be able to afford the latest iPhone 7plus. I really wanted the bigger screen and all the great specs, but at $900+ I just can't do it! I use my phone so much; while traveling on the road last year and living in a van for 5 months I was going through 20GB in data per month. But $900! It's not just the cost, but I bike with the phone on the bars too and the liability is just too much. So I made the decision to try a much cheaper Android; a Motorola G4, which I picked up for $150. Frankly I've been blown away! It's not a retina display but it is a 1080p 5.5" screen, the same physical screen size as the iPhone 7plus. In the month I've had it I haven't touch my little iphone 5s. I've already read another 2 kindle books. So as I saved so much money going with Android over iPhone I decided to treat myself to a Kindle Paperwhite. So it's neat; much smaller than I thought. Bigger than the 5.5" screen of the G4, but not as big as I imagined. I opened it at night as I often sit in my chair with a couple of lamps on in the living room. And what can I say? I was less than impressed. Even on max brightness the screen just wasn't nearly as crisp and vibrant as the phone. I do like a bright screen in general, but I of course turn it way down inside to read. However, the max bright Kindle light was still less than 1/3 the brightness of the Android. In my living room setting it seems I really want to get a reading light directly on it. The phone has no real issues with being too bright or too dark as you can set it how you want. And the phone has more options depending on what indoor light you're dealing with. You can even adjust the screen color to green, sepia, white, or black background which is something the Kindle obviously can't do. Also, though the Kindle light is uniform, at the very bottom it seems to have a couple of minor uneven patches. As subtle as they are I notice them! I realize the Kindle is meant to be easier on the eyes, but with the phone color options and the fact that I have a matt finish screen saver, well I really can't see any advantage of the eInk screen when you are inside and using the backlight. And most of my reading will be inside. Plus, the Kindle screen, though 300dpi, I can see it's not as crisp as the 400dpi of the G4 phone. On smaller fonts, especially when I take my glasses off at bedtime and read it very close, well the Kindle's lack of crispness is noticeable to me compared to the Phone. It's fine though if I go with the top two largest settings, and I'm OK with others, but I can see the difference. Then there's the page flip. I imagined the Kindle's page flip would be something special, but you either refresh the whole page which goes black for a second then refreshes, or the other options is to just sort of roughly fade from one page into the next. If you look up or blink though you'll sometimes have no idea if the page turned or or not! I've occasionally found myself re-reading the same page! The iPhone and Android apps though have a beautiful, effective and simple page flip that really emulates a real page flip! I know this sounds like the last thing you'd be worried about, but the Kindle experience leaves something to be desired. So today I got outside into the park, and yes the the Kindle was really nice. I able to walk and read, which was really cool (though I imagine not so great for my neck!) In the shade it was great, and in the sunlight it shined! But though the G4 phone is indeed not as easy to read in direct sun, I can still read it! It's not like it's totally washed out. Realistically though if I stop to read in the park I'll probably be in the shade anyway, and then really the Phone wins because it's perfectly readable in the bright ambient light, and it still has all the color options. It seems to me the only real reading advantage the Kindle has is if I'm actually sunbathing at the pool or beach! . The Kindle does have a few extra font choices than the Phone apps. But this is also a major gripe; why aren't there more font options on the Kindle anyway? One thing that would help me is just the option to bold the fonts; but Kindle and Phone apps there is no options for that. The other issues is the first two books I read both have color diagrams. The Kindle, obviously, is just plain useless for a lot of imagery! My plan is to also get a color Android tablet, because with the G4 Phone, the Kindle, and a decent tablet I'm still under half the cost of the iPhone 7+! But I'm really wondering if I then need the Kindle at all? And I'm wondering if I might instead get like an 7" Tablet along with the 10" tablet. The advantages are they will all seamlessly sync with either other, and I can literally put down one device and carry on with the next one. I'd essentially use the G4 for everything as I do now. Then the 7" tablet mainly for reading, and the 10" tablet for media or couch surfing the web. Now all that said, the reason I'm torn is because I don't hate the Kindle! It's pretty slick too. I like it's simplicity and I like that it's used only one thing. The Kindle would really put me in reading and study mode, and I'd be less likely distracted by the trillion other things the tablets and phone can do. I also got the Kindle pretty darn cheap with that $90 Prime special. But that $90 would also get me a really nice featured Tablet with an HD screen! I've only had the Kindle 2 days! so really I should give it more time. But If I'm returning it it'll be quickly. I'm not sure the few advantages are worth it over a color tablet. All in all it does exactly what it's meant to do. But I've been spoilt by the features of the large HD phones and it's hard not to be disappointed. ... show more
