Reviews from customers:

“The various light options on the kindle, including the warm light feature makes it easy to read regardless of where I was and what kind of lighting is available, without eye strain.”

“Your library list tells which books in your collection you have already read, which are partially read, and which are new.”

“This new model is like reading actual print on paper… I’ve also found that I read faster. Turning the page is quick and easy. And the Kindle is very light weight, it weighs less than my iPhone!! It is easy to hold for long periods of time.”

Reviews from customers:

“Display of text is excellent. Non-smudging screen is great. Lighting is excellent.”

“FAST bluetooth connections/connecting… fast page loading.”

“First off, the device has such a premium build having an all-metal body. Ergonomically, the weight of the e-reader rests on the side, allowing me to easily read with one hand.”

“Cutting right to the chase: the adjustable color temperature screen is the greatest advance in Kindles since self-illuminating screens were introduced on the first Paperwhite… period, full-stop. And, at least for this reader, there’s no going back after trying it out. It’s that good, and that much of a game changer.”

“Probably the biggest question to ask yourself before spending this kind of money is how much do you read… The biggest question is whether one will use it enough to justify having a device that is only for reading and if the features for them personally justify the purchase. For me, yes…”
