For a long time, I used a 2nd generation kindle with a keyboard. I read in bed every night and I use a kindle nightlight so I don’t disturb my husband with the light on. It was cumbersome and the kindle was bigger than a book. Then I finally switched to the smaller, lighter 6th generation touch screen paperwhite. I loooooove it! The best features are the size and the backlighting without glare to be able to read at night without a nightlight. I should have switched over years ago.

My 95-year-old mom loves the paperwhite because the font size is adjustable to a size that she can see. I just wish that it was available in an 8 inch sized screen and the opening page brought up only the books that had been downloaded for her. We don't need "suggested for you" books listed - we'll find our own - and the cluttered screen confuses her. She reads 12 hours a day and the charging port has gone bad on three Kindles so far and the battery can't handle enough charging cycles before it dies. (I've bought five or six) and when the battery dies the Kindle won't operate while plugged into an AC power source. The latter is a huge negative for me. Any other electronic device can run on battery AND AC power.

My wife, after trying a couple of Android tablets, decided she wanted something simpler, just to read books on. This model does just that -- no color display or Android programs of other kinds. It has a backlight for reading in the dark, but since that's off most of the time, battery life is very good-- it can often go a week without a charge. The screen as I've said, is only grayscale (no color), but sharp and clear for reading purposes (and you can make the type as large as you want). I don't know how many books it will hold, but with 30 or 40 on there now, it doesn't seem near capacity. Amazon makes one cheaper reader, with no backlght, and several more expensive ones, but this one seems just the right level for what she wanted for a reader.

Text and images look really nice and it does everything that I want from an e-reader. My only complaint is that it chokes sometimes when I try to select and look up words in the dictionary. Sometimes this process can be pretty frustrating with how slow it responds. Other than selecting and looking up words, this kindle is great. The backlight feature is great.

I begin each review by reminding all that the purchase of a complicated (if not expensive) electronic device requires a strategy or point of view reflecting one's resources and life style. If you do not have all the money in the world, why buy a Samsung Galaxy 4 when a Galaxy 2 does most of what is possible with a smart phone? That leads to the Ebay resale market. The current model for Kindle is the HDX. The Paperwhite has a black and white display which is razor sharp, but it is no color HDX. Wifi connections are primitive and the only shopping you can accomplish is in the Kindle book store. In fact, if the only function you want to accomplish is reading, the Paperwhite's display is superior to the color display monitors and the device is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter and smaller than the HDX. On the other hand, the device is comparable in price to a used HD, the predecessor model to the HDX. (See my review of the Kindle HD.) The battery life seems average. So, for the average READER, this is a fine machine. For somebody who wants a cheaper Android color tablet, the HD is far more desirable. Finally, a general caveat on discontinued models. Although you can get generic accessories on Ebay, be prepared to kiss off the item if it goes sour. It will not pay to try and repair it and the expertise to repair a discontinued model is limited to large urban areas.Vollständige Rezension lesen
