Having such fun with my new Kindle Paperwhite!

Love my grandkids — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:56:30 GMT

All my books from the old kindle were on the cloud, easy to access. This thing is so fun to use!! I'm loving it!!! And the purple cover is gorgeous!

Glad you're enjoying your new Paperwhite. I have a 4 year old Kindle and I'm looking at the Fire HD. They have a new one coming out only 6 inches and only $99. I'm tempted.

I'm so glad you like it. My library has so many good books for kindle.

I had an appointment yesterday and a woman was there reading on a very small kindle which must have been the 6 incher. I asked her how she liked it and she stated it was too small, she purchased a very thick case for it to add for a better grip. I have to say myself that I thought it was too small as well.

I have the old white 2nd generation keyboard and love the fact I don't have to move my hand to swipe the page, just put the thumb on the button and push. I wish they'd come out with another with the button

You can just tap your thumb on the screen of the Paperwhite and change it. No need to hold it on that button! LOL!!! I thought the same thing until I got this latest Paperwhite and I am IN LOVE that that baby!!!!! Just saying. . .

tap and not slide across? That's good to know. But... do you find yourself turning the page by accident at all?

I'm not finding turning pages an issue. I have mine in a fairly large but light weight Vera Bradley cover, so I'm holding that not the reader itself. I do have the 6" one in a very small cover (sometimes I even take it out) to carry with me in my purse, and I find the buttons annoying when I use it. I have had it a long time.

Glad you love it! I had the keyboard version before I bought a Paperwhite and think the Paperwhite is so much easier to use. I love it and always recommend it to friends.

I agree. I went from the 2nd generation white Kindle with keyboard and page turn buttons to the Paperwhite, and I am crazy about the Paperwhite's touch screen. Just a tap, and the page turns. . you can swipe if you want, but there is no need. Seems like I read the new Voyage Kindle has a page turn button?

I switched from reading on my old version Kindle keyboard to a Paperwhite too and love it. I've also got a Kindle Fire that I use as a portable tablet but that I can use to read books on as well. I enjoy the Fire a lot, but if I'm going to be outside reading, you can bet I'll be using the Paperwhite. Inside, the images on the Fire are beautiful and crystal clear. Outside in the sun I can barely see them even with adjusting the contrast. The Paperwhite screen is easy to see inside or outside. With all the electronics today that have the hard to read when in bright light screens, I'm sure glad Kindle has kept making one with a screen that's not obliterated by glare!

Help! Do I need to buy a kindle charger? OR can I use the Nook charger to recharge the paper white?? The cords are the same but the chargers were included with my Kobo and Nook. This is my first Amazon. Wowee, I can put it in landscape. Could you do that with old kindles?

I saved the charger from my broken Kindle Keyboard and it is fine to use with the Paperwhite. My BIL who is a genius in electronics showed me I could even use my phone charger.

I would suggest you cut and paste your Nook charger question as a new discussion so it will get attention with Nook users who can help you! Good luck.

So happy to see this discussion. After I bought my Kindle Fire tablet last year thinking I'd be happy to use it for reading as well as having its tablet uses, I find it too heavy to carry with me when I just want to take along something to read.

A neighbor recommended Paperwhite. Said her kids had bought her a tablet - which she never uses, but she loves her reader.

There's a Paperwhite in my future, too. Glad to see I'll probably be able to use my phone charger. What about my Kindle Fire charger? Will that work also since it's Amazon's own product?

My Kindle Fire HD and HDX chargers work on the Paperwhite.

TY TY I was hoping so and just hadn't called Kindle to ask.
