This is my second order because by previous order was somehow stuck at export :( Amazon did help me get the refund so I could re-order it and I did!!! Only took 6 days to arrive at my house. That was unexpected as I live in Bangkok , Thailand. Imagine my surprise when UPS rang my bell and handed me the package! The device is super convenient to me, slim and light-weight, and easy to set-up. The denim color is to my liking, so does the case. One annoying thing is the battery seems to drop quick even though they claim to be 6-week long.

I was skeptical about a kindle. I enjoy the smell of a book, the paper experience. However because of travel I thought I meed something more practical to carry. I have loved it. It’s easy to read, I can keep a full library and I can instantly start reading anything.
Just a day with it and loving it, the screen is amazing, no strain in the eyes, extremely light, a breeze to do the sync with my phone, my library was loaded in seconds and I'm fearing for Raskolnikov right now!
It is easy to adjust the size and type of the print. Can get definitions of words you're not sure of their meaning and can highlight and make notes of passages you want to remember. Plus you can read more than one book at a time.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Me da mamera ir a una libreria y no encontrar el libro que quiero, o tenerlo digital y sentir agotamiento al leerlo desde el celular. Para mi me suple estas dos problematicas con una magen que se asemeja al libro; buena relación calidad precio, tamaño, capacidad, cargador tipo C e iluminación satisfactoria. PAra leer en las noches antes de dormir en lugar de pegarme al TiK Tok jajajjaa, fantástico!!!. Lo recomiendo!
Definitivamente la mejor compra para leer, es cómodo, práctico, los libros son baratos, se lee perfectamente a oscuras de día en playa , es genuinamente genial
