I have had two Kindles before this one, they have been replaced because I dropped them and the screens cracked. The Paperwhite Kindle is the best one so far. It is light, bright and so easy to use.I love it, and have bought a case to protect it.

I received this as a Christmas present from my mother-in-law, and I love it. It has made my life so much easier whenever I go on holiday and want to bring books to read. The device is very user-friendly and functions exceptionally well. The screen is gentle on my eyes, and the touchscreen is perfectly responsive. Thank you!

Didn’t think I’d like reading on a kindle as much as I do a physical book, but I’m converted!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2024
I had the first paperwhite model several years ago. I was impressed with it, but didn’t find it sufficiently replace printed books for me. I’ve recently gotten back into fiction and am planning to travel soon so decided to buy this.

I’ve been hugely impressed by how light-weight it is and easy to carry around. The back light makes it perfect for nighttime reading and I’ve found it way more absorbing than before, easy to replace some printed books.

I initial bought it hoping to use it for some reading I’m doing for study, but I’ve found it doesn’t display tables well because of the small sized screen. So is better suited to reading fiction rather than study for me.
