great product

I was a bit nervous when I received this, as no quick start instructions were included and I am definitely not very tech savvy. However, the reader was very easy to register, set up, and use. I am loving it. I've got a pile of "real" books to read, but am wanting to use the e-reader all the time instead. I've already figured out how to borrow eBooks from my library, and to download a few from Amazon and other sites. It is really light-weight and easy to hold. I haven't had any trouble reading in daylight or at night with a lamp, it is just like reading a paper book. No problems at all so far!Read full review

Amazon Kindle (8th Generation)

good reader but wish I had realized it did not have a back light. My other reader has a backlight and I can read in any light condition.

Good value for price

Open box model came with surface defects and scratches but screen was perfectly fine. Easy set up. Came with original box. Was disappointed since I thought this one was back lit. It was advertised to be able to read in dark. You can’t read in dark with this model.Read full review

Nice Reader, over complicated operating system

this is a decent reader, and the light is needed because it lacks the book like reading of my kindle touch. lying in bed you have no choice, but it uses the light because the screen is dark without a light source. with a light over head or in sunlight it looks like a book but in shadows it shows the low quality of the screen which is why they added the light to it. if you can get it cheap its a good buy just doesn't set your expectations high cause it will disappoint you. the operating system is a little hard to get use to because they try to make it like a phone but its harder to operate with all the different ways to touch the screen to get it to work. when using the light at half brightness the batter frains fast you will get around 10 hours of reading.

Absolutely NO eyestrain just like reading a book but much lighter!!!

Awesome! Better than any other Kindle e-reader and absolutely NO eye strain. As originally advertised by Amazon no eye strain like with back light or "front" light! The only Kindle I will ever buy. This is my FOURTH and they all still work just like the day they arrived. I now separate my reading material depending on what I feel like reading at any given time.Read full review

Lightweight with great features.

This is my first Kindle reader. I am impressed by its light weight and the easiness to read e-books. I haven't tried audible books as yet but so far I am very happy with this reader.

Kindle 8th Gen

Fast shipping. The Kindle 8th gen is the most basic out of all current Kindles, and also the most affordable. But this shouldnt fool anyone; this is a reading machine like never before, with double the ram and flash memory as its predecessor. I am really happy to be able to own a product specifically for reading, as it does not distract me with messages or pop ups. Fair warning- once you read on a kindle, you will never go back to an app or tablet. You get immersed just as in a real book!Read full review

Love this!

I loved this ereader. Even though it's used it's in perfect shape, battery lasts days. I tought it would be hard to read from the tiny screen but it's really not.

No backlight, but still 4 stars.

Good product for a good price. Easy to set up and connect to my kindle account. This kindle has no backlight, so 4 stars instead of 5.
