Pros & Cons
Pros
The only downside is that it seems to take a surprisingly long time for it to wake up. My developing muscle memory in fingers has me touching near the edge on every page turn. I use for when i travel, it spares me from having to carry 2 or 3 books wit... Read More
The screen is so much better. In the sunlight it really shines in clarity. I love the new soft light feature i use at night.
The kindle paperwhite is the best e-reader on the market. Buy the kindle along with a book scented candle. I am an early adopter of ebooks so my new kendal is the third one i've bought.
Battery life and overall weight of this kindle is improved and seems to feel ergonomically more comfortable than the last version. The battery life is great and i love that the screen is backlit. Softer backlight longer battery life.
Cons
Half of picking a book to read is eye appeal! Turned it off after an hour and returned to amazon. Would not recommend this item. The background screen is cream/gray.
Highlights
Quality
She’s so happy with the size and convenience, she puts it in her purse and takes it everywhere.
And with the font adjust and back lighting, really meets any situation.
If you are paying a wireless charge device, you expect compatibility, not only with the apple chargers.
We haven't had to do a reboot with the new ones in six months.
Price
Subtract the price of a screen protector, and i got a very nice price for the package.
Competitiveness
I was shocked at what i got on a trade-in for my gen4.
Overall this is a great kindle compared to predecessors.
It is not a cheap device, and you dont spend a couple of pennys in buying books.
