I'm addicted! Love it!
Honestly I was skeptical of this product, due to my lack of experience & understanding of it. Well let me just say wow! It's exceeded all my expectations and more! I'm totally addicted! I can't put it down! I'm waiting on new books to come out to download! Very user friendly! Love how I can get free books or a preview 9f one to check it out before I buy! I've never read so much! If you haven't tried this please do! It's very much worth it!

Slender, easy to use.
I just love my new Amazon Kindle!!!! It's easier to use, sleek & slender, the screen is bigger so you can read better. It has an easy way to charge & the battery last for hours on end. With 8GB now on this product you can definitely store a lot more books to read whenever you'd like too. It's lightweight, has a beautiful black color. You can take it & use anywhere that you like to read.

Great reading experience
I read 131 books last year using the Kindle app on my smartphone. It worked well, I always had a book or 3 on hand, and the bulky, poor battery e-reader experience I had a decade ago convinced me that my smartphone was an ideal reading device. I was wrong. I love, love, love the new Kindle Paperwhite for it's immersive, enjoyable reading experience. It is lightweight, feels well balanced in hand, and is easier to hold than my smartphone despite the sometimes awkward bottom power button placement. The screen is a joy to read with - clear, crisp text with infinitely adjustable brightness and tint. The softer light from the Paperwhite has actually helped my insomnia. If I wake up and read, it is much easier to drift back to sleep. I had my smartphone set to dark mode and didn't realize how much blue light it was still emitting, keeping me awake at night. The battery charge lasts for weeks and stands up to the challenge of a rigorous reading schedule. I love that I can queue up dozens of books to read and still have plenty of storage space for more. The ad-supported version isn't much of a bother, although the ads are tailored to your reading interests. I quickly figured out how to turn ad filtering on to keep the romance novels off the lock screen and keep it family friendly. I also set up the Household and Family Library to select books specifically for my kids to read. I can create a child account, manage their digital content, and hand the Paperwhite to them to read without worrying that they'll stumble into less age appropriate reading. I tried an Audible book with the Paperwhite, and it was simple to connect my headphones via bluetooth to stream the book. I felt like using the bluetooth consumed a bit more battery life and didn't see much advantage over using my smartphone, but it is nice to have the option. Overall, I am glad that I made the switch from smartphone reading to the new Paperwhite, it really, truly is a vast improvement in the reading experience beyond what I could have imagined.

Lightweight and easy to use!!
I picked up this new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite the other day and thought I would give it a try. It was really lightweight very simple. It almost had a “cheap” feel to it like it was generically made. Definitely not what I expected from Kindle. It does not operate smoothly and seems to pause, stall or even lockup at times. I should have went ahead and paid a little more money for the next model up. Hopefully it will continue to work while I finish my book. I’m concerned that it just won’t hold up!!

Lightweight
I was very surprised at how lightweight the kindle is. I wasn't sure I would like it at first but after a few uses, I'm in love with it. It doesn't take up much space, it light, it really does look like a paper page, it flips fast. I'm also able to zoom in & make my fonts much larger. My favorite feature though has to be the ability to "highlight" passages in the books. I find the battery life is very good. I read an entire book with never having to recharge. It's also very easy to turn on & off. No extra gadgets & buttons & things that just get in the way. I love my new kindle paperwhite!

Perfect size, easy to look at.
This kindle is the perfect size for travel and reading on the go. The white background & contrast to the words on the "page" makes reading easy. I love a good physical book, but this is just so much more practical for remote reading. Can load books for the whole family.

Nice improvements
The latest (2021) version of Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle/ereader available so far. It has a larger screen size of 6.8 inch, still is lightweight, has adjustable warm light settings and a good speed with a faster processor. The display is glare-free and the color is easy on the eyes while reading. The text is sharp and crisp. The warm light setting is great for reading in the day or night. The response time is improved and faster than the previous year models. It loads books faster and flipping through the pages is quick. It uses a USB-C cable to charge. This version does not have wireless charging capability. The battery life is great and a full charge lasts for several weeks. It is conveniently portable and easily fits into a bag. I like that it is waterproof as well. The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is definitely a good upgrade from the previous ereaders.
