Pros & Cons
Pros
Instant library at my fingertips. Usb-c is a must. If you are getting a kindle, it makes more sense to bundle it. Easy to use and has a long battery life.
The backlight is perfect - it seems to adjust to the ambient lighting a bit. Being able to adjust the brightness is nice. My eyes are very sensitive to bright lights and backlit screens. Very readable screen.
While i miss the feel of paper in my hand, the page turn feels satisfying enough. I love that my kindle app and paperwhite sync so i can pick up right where i left off. Sometimes it takes pressing a bit to get the page to scroll.
Cons
The touch screen is very insensitive. Turning the pages of a book is a nightmare because every time you turn the page the screen flashes a bright sharp light that destroys your eyeball. Software design was outsourced to an incompetent 3rd party.
Highlights
Quality
The paperwhite screen is a game changer if you like to read outside and the best part is you can even continue reading after it... Read More
The only issue is with the touch screen.
I was not happy all around with the service.
Mine has crashed a few times since i bought it, but if you're an e-reader person it's hard to go wrong with the original.
Price
I got it on sale, so the price was perfect.
Shipping
I defently will change slow or fast to “e reader”.
Packaging/appearance
Was interested in reading in bright sunshine and thinking of getting one.

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I thought i needed to look at all the different models and keep comparing and contrasting and get rid of ads etc
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But really the ads dont even bother me since its only at the home page basically its only there when the kindle is locked and you can swipe it away
