Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (newest model) – 20% faster, with new 7" glare-free display and weeks of battery life – Without lockscreen ads – Black

I couldn't be happier with my new Kindle! The display is crisp and easy on the eyes, the battery life is outstanding, and it's incredibly fast and responsive. I love having an entire library with me wherever I go, and reading for long periods is much more comfortable than on a tablet. The only surprise was the size—it was smaller than I expected. However, after using it for a while, I came to appreciate how lightweight and portable it is. It slips easily into a bag or even a large pocket, making it perfect for travel or reading on the go. Overall, this has exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading. It's a fantastic device that makes it easy to read more often.

I love this Kindle Paperwhite. Even though the display is black and white, the contrast and clarity are perfect for reading. The glare-free 7-inch screen is easy on the eyes and provides a comfortable experience in different lighting conditions. The Wi-Fi works well, the Bluetooth connection is reliable, and the battery lasts a long time. It is fast, lightweight, and easy to carry anywhere. Overall, it does everything I need it to do and provides an excellent reading experience. It is the perfect e-reader for me.

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite! The screen is beautiful, the text is crisp and easy to read, and the adjustable warm light makes reading comfortable day or night. The battery lasts a long time, and the 16GB storage gives me plenty of space for all my favorite books. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for reading anywhere. This is a great upgrade for anyone who loves books and wants a convenient way to take their library everywhere!

Imagine holding a thousand books in your hand. Imagine wearing your jammies while getting that next book in your series, and starting into it a minute later. Imagine reading at night in bed without needing a lamp because your book is backlit (and the light doesn’t hurt your eyes). Imagine having your kindle read to you (even if you don’t have audiobooks) with text to speech while you drive or fold laundry. The 12th edition of the Kindle Paperwhite is a fabulous device and well-worth considering if you read a lot. It’s not too big, not heavy, waterproof, and easy to carry in your purse or backpack. Note that if you get a cover with it (highly recommended), when you open the cover the Kindle turns on automatically to the last page you were reading. With the cover open it feels like you’re holding a thin book -- or fold back the cover if you prefer. The Kindle E-reader is not a computer. It’s not a tablet or a phone. It is a gizmo that acts like a book with a black-and-white flat e-ink screen showing typed sentences and paragraphs. You turn pages one at a time, just like a book. There is no movement on the page and no distraction or advertisement*. It is just text, plus any images that the author has included to illustrate his book. *NOTE: The advertisements on the Kindle are on the main page not the individual book pages and just show books you might like. They are unobtrusive. The backlighting, unlike a computer, tablet, or phone, is gentle because the Kindle’s light is directed onto the screen, not into your eyes. You can change lighting level and add warmth (yellow lighting), decide on dark screen or light screen, and change the size of the print to make your reading experience “just the way you like it.” It’s super-simple to access your own ebooks or to find new ones either on your computer or directly on the Kindle. They load in less than a minute onto the Kindle, ready for reading. Keep in mind if you are a reader that ebooks tend to be half or less the price of the same books in print. You can even find FREE ebooks and audiobooks on Amazon and/or use the Libby app (libbyapp.com) to borrow LOCAL LIBRARY books. You may want to consider subscribing to Kindle Unlimited for $12/month so you can download an even wider selection of free ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines from Amazon to keep as long as you want. Can you tell I love my Kindle? I am wowed by having so many books so easily accessible — not like the time I took that 5-hour flight with one crummy poorly written book and nothing else to do. This 12th generation Kindle is fantastic. The battery lasts a long time. The screen is plenty sensitive for page turns and navigation. I go through one or two books a week easy with this little device. Ebooks have revolutionized the publishing industry, and if you are a reader, the Kindle may be exactly what you’re looking for. If you read many ebooks on your phone or a tablet, consider being kind to your eyes with a Kindle. If you are resisting because you aren’t sure you’ll like ebooks as well as print books, I say what the heck, the Kindle may be worth a try. It’s like driving a racing car rather than a horse and buggy. You might decide you love it. * NOTE: To enable TTS (text to speech) so that your kindle can read to you without audiobooks, turn on your wireless headphones or speaker. Then on your Kindle, tap the top of the screen, then hit the three dots on the right. Go to Settings. Hit Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, then Bluetooth Devices. Select your device so your Kindle will recognize it. Next, close the window and go back to Settings. Hit Accessibility, then turn on Voiceview screen reader. The Kindle should start talking to you. If it’s glitchy, just turn off your bluetooth device then turn it on again. Remember that you have to give double taps not single taps on the Kindle to navigate actions. If you want to change the volume or reading speed (I like 1.25x) just double tap on Voiceview screen to show and customize your settings.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB is everything I hoped for and more. The new 7" glare‑free display is a standout improvement because it is crisp, bright, and incredibly easy on the eyes whether you’re reading in full sunshine or indoors. Pages turn noticeably 20% faster, making the whole reading experience smoother and more natural. The 16GB storage is perfect for me because I like keeping a big library on hand. The battery life is classic Kindle: long‑lasting and dependable.

Oh my goodness, these Kindles are life changing. They are waterproof for relaxing in the tub or on the beach. I love that you can adjust the font to whatever size you need and change the background to black for a no-glare experience. I have never been able to read digital books but reading from this Kindle is different. There is no glare and so it doesn't feel like I'm reading from a screen. I can take my whole library with me wherever I want. I am also a seminary student and I can search my library using terms I'm writing papers about and it will bring up all of the books that cover that topic along with page numbers I can click on for easy access to quotes. I also have Kindle unlimited and it will show me all the books I can access for free on the topic and the page numbers I can click on in those books to find information with just one click! I can also listen to any book I want through the assisted reading feature or download audio books to listen to from the Kindle. I rarely have to charge it as each charge lasts weeks. And, I can add up to 8,000 books! I can highlight and take notes in any book. And, if I don't know a word's meaning, I can just rest my finger on it and it will give me the definition! Just an amazing experience I would recommend for any student, Bible studier, or book lover! As a bonus, I speak Spanish and love learning new languages. When I download a book in another language, it has a built-in English-Spanish dictionary so I can lay my finger over a word I don't know and it will give me the dictionary translation of it! Jus amazing!!

Even on sale, it is high priced. It is a nice little e-reader though. I haven’t had a kindle since Kindle Fire years back so this is much improved compared to that. It is quick and although I thought I wanted something bigger, the size and weight are perfect for laying down in bed. So far, I am glad I bought it.

Best purchase of the year for me. I love the simplicity, size, battery life which lasts over two weeks on one charge while reading every day. I love that I can chance the size of the font for readability, as well as the backlight intensity. Also appreciate the light weight so I get to read for hours without needing to take a break.
