Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
