I live in Panama, so I spend a lot of time at the pool and beach. Somehow in full sunlight it is still easy to read. We have all said at one time or another we wish we could give an item no stars. I finally found something I wish I could give six stars to. It's a little pricey so if you do your reading inside, I would stick with the regular kindle. but if you like reading outside the paperwhite is a must have.

Compré mi Kindle hace casi dos meses y, hasta ahora, ha sido la mejor inversión que he hecho en mí misma.

Me encanta leer de noche antes de dormir, y no tener que depender de la luz de mi cuarto para hacerlo ha sido lo mejor. Me encanta poder leer cuando quiera y como quiera (honestamente ahora leo más que antes, incluso en mis breaks del trabajo), consultar definiciones de palabras que desconozco sin hacer una mayor interrupción de mi lectura (esto ha sido game-changing para mí), poder guardar notas y extractos que me gustaron o para consultar más adelante, graduar la calidez y nivel de brillo dependiendo de mi entorno, tener acceso a todos los libros en un solo lugar, que sea tan ligero que puedo sostenerlo con una sola mano (lo agradezco especialmente cuando estoy tirada en el mueble leyendo). Además, meterle libros que ya había comprado o guías que debo leer del trabajo no es nada complicado, y acepta una gran variedad de formatos que, hasta el momento, se ven todos muy bien.

Como dije antes, ahora estoy leyendo mucho más, y también es porque la pantalla es increíble. La tecnología de tinta (si no me equivoco se llama así) hace que de verdad parezca un libro e incluso un poco mejor. No te cansa la vista (como usuaria de gafas y trabajadora remota que depende de usar su computadora todo el día, esto es un enorme beneficio) tampoco siento que tenga que hacer un gran esfuerzo visual para leer (dependiendo del formato, puedes adaptar el tamaño de la letra al que sea más cómodo para ti).

Puedo seguir enumerando las razones por las que, hasta ahora, he amado cada segundo con mi Kindle. Y estoy segura que, a medida que siga descubriendo features, voy a poder sacarle más provecho.

De las cosas que he notado, la animación de la pantalla puede ser ligeramente lenta, pero siendo honesta es algo casi imperceptible. La batería tiene muy buena duración (solo lo he cargado una vez en estos dos meses, y aún le queda suficiente batería para durar un poco más). Aún tengo aventurarme un poco más en cómo organizar mi biblioteca de libros y funciones, pero por los momentos no me arrepiento ni un poco.

Es un regalo para mi esposa, ella tiene una 2015 en perfectas condiciones pero ella quería una nueva por la pantalla oscura, el problema es que esta nueva Kindle se raya la pantalla con nada, con solo la funda de protección ya se rayo la pantalla, nos pareció de muy mala calidad los materiales de la pantalla y demás porque es como una silicona y se va dañando, se pela los laterales de la kindle

Dude en verdad en comprar una tablet de lectura, después de estudiar las opciones presentes en el mercado, compre la Kindle Paperwhite con el protector, y en verdad me tiene muy complacido la compra.
Recibí el pedido dentro de lo programado. Muy puntuales los Srs. de Amazon.
Recomiendo ampliamente la compra de estos dispositivos para lectura, por este medio.

Excelente experiencia. No soy un asiduo lector, sin embargo, este Kindle ha despertado en mi la curiosidad por leer. Es muy agradable y cómodo leer en él, lo he disfrutado mucho. La amplia biblioteca y la economía para obtener libros de toda clase es una opción imposible de rechazar. Todo lo que había leído acerca de su desempeño y sus características me convencieron para adquirirlo y ahora que lo tengo estoy totalmente satisfecho, pues realmente cumple a cabalidad con su propósito.
Sería muy interesante, para éste modelo, la implementación de unas teclas físicas para desplazamiento de páginas, pues debido a su pequeño marco lateral es muy fácil cambiar de página o páginas accidentalmente, a veces me pierdo por este motivo; la parte inferior dispone de buen espacio para este propósito.
Espero en un futuro la implementación de una pantalla a color pues es agradable ver las portadas de los libros en color y para algunos libros técnicos eso es indispensable.
Por ahora lo seguiré disfrutando y sacándolo el máximo provecho, no solo al Kindle sino también a la lectura en general.
