I feel fortunate to have invested in this Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition."

"I decided to upgrade to the 2024 Special Edition Kindle during Black Friday. I kept my old Kindle Touch as a backup, since it still works great. The new Kindle features a Dark Mode and a mellow yellow backlight, making reading at night a lot easier. I highly recommend getting a light cover that works with wireless charging. Overall, this Kindle is a great upgrade, and I find myself reading more than ever."

"This is my 5th Kindle and I absolutely love it! The no ads feature is fantastic, and it opens instantly to my last page read. The artistic images on the screen when off are lovely, and the lightweight design makes it easy to carry around."

"I bought the matcha Kindle on Cyber Monday and I have no regrets! It's lightweight with a great screen size, and I love the dark mode for night reading. Even after a drop, it remained durable without scratches!"

"I originally bought this basic 6” Kindle as a temporary solution, but it's turned out to be delightful! It’s so easy to hold and turn pages, and the screen is evenly lit and crisp. The matcha color is easier on my eyes than darker options."

"The all-new Kindle Paperwhite is a game-changer for me. Its 7-inch glare-free display is a joy to read, indoors or outside. The performance is incredibly fast with instant page turns, and the 16 GB storage gives me ample space for all my books. I absolutely love the long battery life, lasting for weeks on a single charge. The sleek and lightweight design makes it comfortable for long reading sessions, and being waterproof is a huge plus for reading by the pool!"

"As a first-time e-reader user, switching from my iPad Pro to the Kindle Paperwhite has made a massive difference. The customization options for text size and brightness truly help alleviate my eye strain from using screens all day. I appreciate how easy it is to integrate with my library's app for ebooks. It's the perfect size, resembling a small-medium book, and I can easily adjust the color temperature for various lighting conditions."

"After using my original Kindle for years, I finally upgraded to the Kindle Paperwhite and what a difference it makes! It's so much lighter, faster, and the improved contrast makes reading much more enjoyable. If you've been hesitant to upgrade your old Kindle, I highly recommend this one—it's superior to the models from over a decade ago, and connecting it to my local library gives me an infinite supply of free reading material!"

"I’m absolutely in love with my Kobo Clara Color! It’s my first e-reader, and its compact design makes it perfect for reading on the go.

Overall, it’s a fantastic alternative to Kindle!"

"I was looking for something smaller than my Kobo Libra H2O for travel, and the Kobo Clara Color is amazing! It’s lightweight and the dark mode is fantastic for reading at night. I haven’t had to charge it yet, and the battery life is impressive. Plus, the textured back makes it comfortable to hold!"

"As my first e-reader, I’m very pleased with my Kobo Clara Color. The activity analytics feature is fun to track my reading speed and progress.

However, I faced an issue when my daughter accidentally factory reset it, which was frustrating. Overall, I highly recommend this device!"

"I’ve had my Kindle for over a month now, and I’m still thrilled with it. It’s lightweight, portable, and makes reading so enjoyable. I used to read on my iPad, but now this Kindle is my favorite device. The setup was a breeze, and I’m delighted to report no lag when turning pages. The battery life is impressive too! I even joked about my next book title being: When is the right time to buy a Kindle? I’m very happy to be part of the Kindle family!"

"I decided to upgrade to the 2024 Special Edition Kindle after many years with my old Kindle Touch. The Dark Mode feature is fantastic and makes reading at night so much easier on the eyes.

However, I’m really enjoying this upgrade overall!"

"I've always used a small Kindle Paperwhite, but I felt the screen was a bit too small. I also found my iPad Pro too distracting for note-taking. The Kindle Scribe serves both my reading and note-taking needs perfectly. Writing on it feels just like paper! The only downside is the lack of color highlighting, but overall, it’s a fantastic reading experience with a sleek design that's easy to carry. I highly recommend this device!"

"I bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift, and we were thrilled when it arrived earlier than expected! The jade color is stunning and the size exceeded our expectations, making it even better. The quality is outstanding! She uses it for reading, taking notes in meetings, and making lists. She loves that she won't need post-it notes anymore! Setting it up was also a breeze. Overall, it's priceless in her opinion!"

"After a disappointing experience with the Remarkable Pro, I turned to the Kindle Scribe. Despite being smaller, it felt just right for me. The writing experience is smooth and quiet, and the reading quality is excellent. I got it for nearly $300 less than the Remarkable Pro, making it a fantastic value. Amazon's customer service has been exceptional compared to my previous experience. From the moment I started using it, I was excited. It's truly a versatile and well-designed tool!"

"As an avid reader, I found the Kobo Libra Colour to be pure magic! The file support is a dream; it handles PDFs, EPUBs, and even comics effortlessly. The screen is gentle on my eyes, perfect for long reading sessions, and I adore the OverDrive integration for library borrowing. Plus, it's waterproof—ideal for reading by the pool or in the bath! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves books!"

"After 11 years with my Kindle Paperwhite, I decided to compare it with the Kobo Libra Colour. The Kobo is significantly lighter and easier to hold, especially with its physical page-turn buttons. The interface feels cleaner, and accessing Libby for library books is a breeze. While the screen could be a bit brighter, I find the overall reading experience on the Kobo much more comfortable and natural. It's a solid upgrade!"

"I upgraded from an old Kindle, and the Kobo Libra Colour is a massive improvement! The screen is crisp, and I love the screen warmth setting. Although I was slightly disappointed by the color vibrancy, the e-ink display is still impressive. Importing books is incredibly easy, and the OverDrive feature is fantastic. I only wish there was expandable storage, but it's still an excellent device!"

"I received my product quickly, but unfortunately, it came with a dead battery."

"I tried charging it for three days, but it just wouldn't work."

"This reader is a hit with my husband. The night feature is excellent, and we love the Dropbox sync option. For the price, it's a fantastic device!"

"While I appreciate the device's lightweight design and ease of use, I found it frustrating that it runs on a custom Pocketbook OS, which limits my app options. I mainly have to rely on transferring files from my PC, and the screen quality feels a bit cheap."
