  Awesome

  Love my Kindle. Very basic yet allows me to read books whenever and wherever. No reliability issues - always comes on. Charge lasts a very very long time.

  Excellent E-Reader – Simple and Reliable

  Purchased this Kindle Paperwhite for children and it has been a great choice. The new 7” glare-free display is very easy on the eyes, and the device feels responsive with faster performance. Setup was simple, and there have been no issues or complaints so far. A reliable and distraction-free reading device that works perfectly for its purpose.Ver másVer menos

  Love it!

  I finally got back into reading it fits into most pockets in bags and is perfect size. The battery does last a while which I love just make sure to keep the brightness med to low for it to last. It’s really light weight. The screen quality is great for something that is just a paper white it’s not back I also love the option of light or dark mode makes it much easier on the eyes. Also love the font size being able to be changed and free 3 months of kindle unlimited.Ver másVer menos

  Great e-book Reader

  Wonderful e-book reader. The books are very affordable, I have already purchased enough books to keep me busy for a long time and haven’t spent more than $20.00 for all of them. Battery life is great, I charge it once a week just to keep it above 70%. The Paperwhite is easy to read for longer periods of time without eye strain due to brightness. Navigation was a little challenging at first but within a week I had picked up the menus and settings and now have the Kindle customized to my liking.Ver másVer menos

  Perfect little carry-along...

  I'm a relatively new e-ink convert, having bought a tricked-out Kindle Scribe exactly two years ago (when the device was brand new). Long story short? I loved that device... Literally, to death... After dropping it on terrazzo floors in SEVERAL airports world-wide, not to mention the myriad spills at home on more forgiving carpet. In fact, I loved it so much that when the 11th gen Scribe went on fire-sale a few weeks ago, I bought the cheapest version to replace my original (recently non-functional) unit, simply swapping my old premium pen for the basic one. Clearly, I loved the device enough to buy it again... I adore the ability to mark up .pdf's, the note-taking capabilities and that even with this extra functionality, it's still a very limited device that allows me to focus on reading first.What I don't love, and never have? The weight. It's heavy to the point that I never used it if I couldn't prop it on something. Which led to it being dropped. A lot. Which led to the original unit failing. Not that it wasn't pretty sturdy... I mean, it survived repeated collisions with very unforgiving surfaces. It even weathered some relatively large liquid spills on and near it despite not being water resistant. Now? I just use the Scribe when I need to mark up .pdf's (like, when I'm gaming... I can keep my character sheets on the Kindle), or need something that can display larger printed materials... Like RPG basic books or comics. Hence, the new Kindle Paperwhite gen 12...My new device isn't appreciably different than my Scribe except in a couple very important ways. The reviews don't lie... The screen contrast is higher, and in good light without backlighting, looks whiter. The device is much smaller, and seems a touch slimmer. It's also, very importantly, less than half as heavy, which means it's comfortable to hold in one hand while reading without tiring. I don't need to set it down on things, or prop it up, which reduces the threat of drops. When I'm out in public, I do have a cover for the device, and because it's so light, you can hold it open like a paperback, and it won't overbalance and fall out of your hand. The screen, given that it's half the size of the Scribe, seems to refresh much faster. It also seems to load the store faster, and settings menu navigation is measurably faster, as well. This is not surprising. The device is newer, and has less functionality. The one thing that I have detracted a star for is the battery life. I don't use the pen on the Scribe unless I'm actually writing, as it drains battery quickly. When you're turning pages with the touch-screen, however, you get exceptional battery life out of the Scribe. Not so terribly much on the Paperwhite. Granted, I'm not the average reader. 30 minutes a day is amateurish. When I use the backlight all day, I'm running down the battery at least 10% on the Paperwhite, if not more. Not a deal-breaker, by any means, but gone are the days of not bringing a charging cord for a two week vacation as I did with the Scribe.I hear a lot of people make noise about the format... AKA, the Paperwhite doesn't have the extended lip on the side like the Oasis to make it easier to hold, and that it doesn't have buttons. Well, I understand that personal preference is personal preference, but... Who the heck wants another point of mechanical failure on a device that goes through a lot of punishment in public? I don't want my precious page-turn button breaking. Ever. And, let's face it... That's why everything is touch-screen these days. Yes, you might have to clean the screen more often, or bother to wash your hands before using your precious device (which you really SHOULD be doing, anyway), but these aren't exactly deal-breakers. Another thing that's come up even in professional reviews is people "accidentally" activating the bottom button. The question I have is, HOW?!? You need to alter your grip for leverage to depress it, the device is so light. The only other thing I've mused on is that the Paperwhite is just a plain plastic thing. It doesn't have the flashy aluminum back-side of the Oasis or even the Scribe... It doesn't look as luxe in the hand. And honestly? After the durability and weight issues I've mentioned above, I just plain don't care. If I'm in public, my device is in a case, anyway. I'm not an Apple person. While I experience SOME e-vanity, I don't think of my Kindle as a fashion accessory. Rather the opposite, as some people judge one harshly for going with an Amazon device in the first place. I'm here to read, and you probably are too if you're bothering to read this review.All in all, it took less than a week for the Paperwhite to become my favored reading device for its' portability, its' weight and its' utility. I love the tiny thing! I look forward to years of care-free, comfortable reading without worrying so much about dropping my favorite note-taking device and general scratch-pad, the Scribe.
