To my fellow ghouls who, like me, often seek out the negative reviews, please see the finish of this one. The original Paperwhite changed my life–it got me back into reading after decades of neglect. It was and is one of those perfect things for me that comes along all too rarely. Still, I was always open to a newer better version. I wasn’t tempted by the 300 DPI Paperwhite with its smaller battery, or by the Oasis. But the new Paperwhite with Audible, and with a slightly smaller size and yet no diminution in reading area–that was an offer I could not refuse. I bought it in response to Amazon’s first email with pricing. And it was as beautiful as I expected, with its flat front, higher resolution, and smoother back lighting. The waterproofing was a nice addition. However, I soon discovered that Amazon has made a killer design change, and with tears in my eyes, I have returned the new Paperwhite. The problem? The power button now extends below the bottom edge, thus killing my ability to place the Paperwhite on the little reading shelf on most treadmills. I have spent countless hours reading from the Paperwhite in hotels and gyms across the country. But with the new design, the Paperwhite shuts down or prompts for a restart, within seconds, on every attempt to use it in that situation. I suppose I could fabricate a simple stand for the device with a cutout for the power button. But I have a perfectly good Paperwhite that does not need that accommodation. Darn. Amazon: Please fix this; I will buy the new Paperwhite again in a heartbeat if you do. I edited this review to fix typos. And I will add that I intend this to be the most positive negative review I have written. I really do love the new Paperwhite, except for this one showstopper (for me) problem. If you like the Paperwhite concept, and never read from it while it sits on a shelf, you too will probably love this newest iteration. Followup: An anonymous responder to this review suggested I could have used landscape mode. Doh. That is a workaround with which I can live. So putting my money, er, fingers, where my mouth is, I have repurchased the new Paperwhite. I really do love the device. I suppose I should change the number of stars on this review, but I’ll leave that alone in protest of the design change. It’s my version of positive negativity.Read more

This is my 6th kindle. I also read on my iPhone and my iPad Kindle apps. I use Audible. I travel frequently overseas, over oceans without access to my library in the “cloud”, so I paid for the 32G model. Imagine how irritated I am this morning, as I write this, and have to download book by book my entire 600+ library for the third time since I got this device yesterday! After FOUR calls to the un-helpful Kindle Help Desk. “Most people store their books in the cloud and just download what they want to read.” Well that doesn’t work if one is over the Pacific Ocean. And what is the point of paying extra for the 32g model if I can’t download all of my books? And do I need to be lectured by the Help Desk about how I am supposed to use MY Kindle? I was told I wasn’t connected to Wi-Fi, yet I was clearly getting notifications and I had managed to download the books, twice. Then I was told to reset my router. I refused. Finally the Helpdesk reregistered the Kindle and it worked! Except that I once again have to manually download the library of books. So Amazon, with all your tech people, why doesn’t this app provide an auto download feature? Grrrr!Read more

I bought the Paperwhite with 4G. It’s considerably pricier when you consider that you also can’t do “special offers” with the 4G model. But I don’t have access to reliable wifi where I live in the country, so it would make getting content easier. Here’s the thing. I fully understand why the 4G would only be usable for Amazon content, but Audible content IS Amazon content, yet it cannot be downloaded over 4G. This is my 6th Kindle, and my 3rd with cellular. It’s also my last. There was no indication that all Amazon content wouldn’t be available using the 4G.Read more

This is my first Kindle. I have been reading Kindle books for years, but I always used the apps on my iPhone, iPad and/or computer. I thought getting a Kindle was unnecessary – just another device to carry, charge, etc. I decided to get this new Kindle for a few reasons. I have vision issues (glaucoma) and glare on the screen has become a oroblem. I also found that the apps used a lot of battery capacity and I’m using my phone instead of the landline, so I need it to be free. This Kindle had all the features I wanted – bluetooth, capacity and waterproof. So far I absolutely love it. It was easy to set up and download my books. I’m not big on reading a lot of directions, and so far I’ve had no issues with figuring things out. It fits nicely in my hand and is light and thin. It is much easier to read because of less screen glare. I’ve used it in bright light (kitchen fluorescent) and just about no light (bedroom with lights off). Both were just fine. I postponed getting a cover for it because the one I wanted wasn’t in stock, but you definitely need a cover of some type. If you’re wondering if this is worth the cost, I would definitely say yes.Read more
