AmazonKindle Paperwhite (8 GB) – Now with a larger display, adjustable warm light, increased battery life, and faster page turns – BlackReducing CO2

I love my Kindle—it’s such an easy and enjoyable way to read. The screen is super clear, and it really does feel like reading from a page. The built-in light is a nice touch for nighttime reading, whether I’m in bed or out on the porch winding down.One of my favorite things is the battery life. I can go days—sometimes more—without needing to charge it, which makes it perfect for travel or just curling up with a book whenever I find a quiet moment.It’s simple, reliable, and just works. If anything changes, I’ll update this review!

I love the size, I love the capacity, the easy to use, that you can read with any lighting. The battery life is amazing! and the quality is excellent. The only thing is that they have yet to design a more comfortable way to read it while lying down!I love that the books are very cheap and I love the idea of stop polluting with the physical books.Another big plus is that you have all your books in one place, and you can take it anywhere!

Okay, I seriously didn’t expect to love my Kindle as much as I do. I used to be all about physical books, but this thing has changed the game for me. It’s super lightweight, easy to carry around (even fits in smaller bags), and the screen is SO easy on the eyes—even in bright sunlight or at night in bed. The color of this device is beautiful, quality of the device doesn’t hurt eyes, storage capacity is phenomenal, and it is very durable!I’ve been reading way more since getting it because everything’s just there. I can switch between books, highlight quotes, and even look up words without breaking the flow. Battery life? Unreal. I charge it maybe once every couple of weeks, and that’s with daily use.If you're on the fence—don’t be. Whether you’re trying to read more or just want something lighter to carry around, this is 100% worth it. Total upgrade for my reading life.

So I came into possession of this little guy due to a late night Amazon impulse buy a few days before leaving for vacation. I was going on a weeklong trip with my family and didn't want to have to bring my ipad (what I usually use to read) or any actual books with me on the plane. Let me preface this by saying I am an avid reader, spending the majority of my free time reading...and have been for most of my life. My siblings lament to anyone listening about the horror of summer road trips, riding in the back of our family sedan, fighting for leg room because I always had at least 5-6 books at my feet to read during our travels. You should hear the way my sister grumbles at even the mere mention of a car ride with me (She horribly dramatic) but I digress. I also used to have a nook e-reader, an original model Kindle from way back in the day that no longer works, and have the kindle app on my ipad which I use to read most days. So I am familiar with e-reading. This kindle is quite possibly the best purchase I've ever made. It's basically pocket sized so it was extremely portable. I brought it with me everywhere; On the plane, in the car, in my bag to restaurants...I even managed to fit it in a particularly spacious pocket of an oversized jean jacket I wore on cooler nights. It's amazing. It was comfortable enough to hold in one hand, or two, depending on what I preferred at the time. 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. I shared a room with family for a couple of nights and the dark mode feature barely emits light past my immediate person, so I was able to read into the wee hours of the morning if I wanted to without disturbing my family sleeping in the same room, or sacrificing my precious reading time. ( I get particularly sassy if I'm interrupted in the middle of a discovering a plot twist in a juicy novel, i'm just saying). You are able to customize lots of the settings, such as the fonts, size, spacing and layout, so that the books look however you want them to while reading. (I definitely used that feature to make the font smaller and more compact while I read an embarrassingly cringleworthy, but suprisingly emotional and fantastic, harlequin romance novel while on the plane. It's nobody's business why I was practically sobbing into my complimentary pretzels after the protagonists romantic interest declared his love to her for the first time, thank you very much) I also may, or may not have had a TINY accident in which I spilled my entire 32oz water bottle full of water all over my pants and my kindle. After squealing in alarm at how cold the water was, I was able to get my bearings, wiped the water off the kindle, changed my pants and continued reading. I have noted no damage whatsoever to my kindle and that was at the beginning of my trip well over a week ago now. After reading every day for at least 4-6 hours per day/night for 7 days straight I had 57% battery left over. I think the battery is supposed to last for 2 weeks maybe? IDK. Basically it lasted a long time, long enough for me to be impressed. Also, I downloaded at least 15 new books on there, not to mention the impressive collection of books I already owned and was able to sync to the device, and I still have over 4GB of space available to use. I have since named the kindle Kurt, as I feel emotionally connected to the device after our adventures together these past weeks. If you are a super bookworm like me, or are just trying to finish a whole book for the first time, I highly recommend this device for purchase. I think it was worth the money a thousand times over. And if after reading this you do decide to purchase it, I hope you love it just as much as I do.
