I wasn’t sure how I’d like a kindle since I enjoy reading and holding a tangible book, but so many of my friends and family members rave about their kindles I decided to give it a try. I can honestly say it’s felt no different than holding a book. I love the convenience of being able to get a new book immediately after finishing my current read, without having to go to a store. I was also worried about adding another screen that I’d be staring at for hours, but the lighting and display on the kindle hasn’t given me the same tired eyes I’d feel from staring at my phone or computer too long. It’s light, packable, and I love it! If you’re in the same boat or having the same trepidation I was, it’s absolutely worth it!

Overall a great product. Works well in sunlight, that my old kindle didn’t. The font is easily adjusted as is the brightness. One thing I don’t understand is that when I go to shop, and open up the kindle store, you cannot enlarge the font. I find this infuriating because then I have to go find reading glasses.The product is mostly pros, and very few cons. I would like it to have slightly larger sides becuase many times, I have accidentally gripped the screen and advanced several pages without intending to.I like the bluetooth portion. I wish it had a timer you could set to stop it. If it has one, I haven’t found out how to use it. Anyone who has listened to audio books at night knows what happens when you fall asleep while it is playing.But overall, I like the product and would buy it again.

First of all, I did not think I would like a kindle in comparison to a real book, but I was wrong. This kindle is everything– it’s lightweight (great for travel!) seriously doesn’t die, and I love the added features such as definition and highlighting within chapters. The kindle has saved me SO much money– I blow through a book every couple days. I have charged the kindle once since I got it in July and I didn’t even need to, it was at 46% still. I’m amazed. If you’re on the fence, just buy it!

I got this as a deal. It cost just under $160 for the whole bundle so take this as you will. The stand makes a nice wireless charger and also nice to just sit and read flipping through while it’s on the charge.The case is a nice great with a soft inside for the screen and basic plastic for the back inside. The outside is a nice synthetic plastic.The kindle is great it can probably hold thousands of books at 32gb. It’s pretty quick compared to my original and the brightness and warmth adjustments nice for late night reads.

I love my Kindle. I take it everywhere. I love the fact that I can sit in the sun to read and not worry about a glare. The fabric cover is starting to fray (after a few months of use), so I’ll probably buy a new cover soon.

This is the second Kindle that I have purchased. My first one lasted over 10 years. I am completely satisfied with my new one!!!

Glad to have upgraded to this new version. Super light, easy to read. Still wish there was a cover for the charging port so when I’m at the beach I wouldn’t get sand in it. I thought with the wireless charging there wouldn’t be a cable port, but there still is one.

As a devout Kindle reader since my first one 11 years ago, this is the absolute best version yet. I love it!!!
