I use Kindle since they were created. I went through the first one, the DX, the keyboard, the e reader, the paperwhite, the voyager and the oasis. The last two and new ones I had to return to Amazon, they both had mechanical problems, like not turning pages, freezing, not able to open, etc. etc. and I bought again another paperwhite, because the old one I already gave to a friend.
The Kindle Oasis is the best of all because of the weight and the flexibility to use with only one hand, and also it’s smaller, but with the same size reading screen. I do not know if mine was defective or not, but I decided to go to the secure one: THE PAPERWHITE.
I’m retired and read a lot, of course I would love the kindle Oasis that works perfect, but I’m not going to pay for another one because I’m retired and with a very fix income. Of course if Amazon wants for me to try a new one for free i’ll try again, and if does not have the problems of the first one, then I’ll use it and write a good review, but for now the kindle Paperwhite is the most reliable to read for many hours. I have over 600 books in my Kindle.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my experience.
Highest resolution e-reader display
With twice as many pixels as the previous generation, Kindle Paperwhite has an improved high-resolution 300 ppi display for crisp, laser quality text.
No glare in bright sunlight
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, Kindle Paperwhite reads like paper.
Read comfortably with one hand
Lighter than a paperback, comfortably hold Kindle Paperwhite in one hand for those times when you can’t put the book down.
Charge monthly, not daily
Kindle Paperwhite won't leave you tethered to an outlet. A single charge can last up to six weeks (based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless turned off and the light setting at ten).
Won't tire your eyes in the dark
Kindle Paperwhite guides light toward the surface of the display with its built-in front light—unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes—so you can read comfortably for hours without eyestrain. Adjust your screen's brightness for great reading in any light.
Next-generation reading experience
Kindle Paperwhite offers Bookerly, an exclusive font crafted from the ground up for reading on digital screens. Warm and contemporary, Bookerly is inspired by the artistry of the best fonts in modern print books, but is hand-crafted for great readability at any font size.
Typesetting engine lays out words just as the author intended for beautiful rendering of pages. With improved character spacing and the addition of hyphenation, justification, kerning, ligatures, and drop cap support, our best-in-class typography helps you read faster with less eyestrain.
Enjoy reading with larger font sizes without compromising your reading experience. Page layout and margins automatically adapt to work well at even the largest font sizes. The typography and layout improvements are available on over half a million books, including many best sellers, with thousands more being added every week.
Lose yourself in a book
By design, Kindle Paperwhite is purpose-built for reading and creates a sanctuary so you can lose yourself in a book. Unlike tablets and phones, Kindle doesn’t distract you with social media, emails, and text messages.

I like the light feature.
I must read too much because the battery is at half in 2 days. I like the light feature that my old kindle did not have. I don't like how if you barely touch the page it turns since the edges are so small. Single handed reading/page turning is much easier on the old kindle. I like it but i really dislike the page turning when you accidentally touch the front since there is very little room on the edge/sides.The free 3 G does not always work, my 1st kindle worked all the time. Also unlike the old kindle i have no idea where the books or samples go that i order, i have to go looking for them, there is no 1st page where you would see new stuff. I have to go on amazon then to my kindle download page and add the book or sample to a collection and then i am not even sure its there? The only thing i like is the light....Update This just happened, theres a spot under the glass that lets a tiny pin hole of light through, happened out of know where.
