Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have one of the original kindles, and it finally starting to fall apart (dropped it one too many times). So I wanted to get another one just like it... I did not want the back-lighted versions of the kindle (i.e. kindle fire) as I've heard that they can be hard on your eyes. I was disappointed that I could not get the same style as my old kindle, but I purchased this one because it seemed to be the closest I could get to what I had and liked. To my surprise, I like it even better than my original! The screen is the same size, but since it is "touch" controlled rather than having a keyboard, the actual size is smaller and lighter weight than my old kindle. It is the perfect size to stash in a purse or backpack. If you liked your old kindle, and just want to replace it, you will be very happy with this model.
