I would still suggest this over the Paperwhite because your end goal I believe will be to read some good books correct

I don't feel like advertising a random book whenever I put it down!

I also found hard to set up and find affordable books

Collecting paperbacks, as much as I love having a physical book and prefer it, are many times more expensive then simply purchasing book within the kindle shopNow if you purchase this

I now have about 600 books awaiting my pleasure

Screen is OK to ready casual books

I purchased this, hoping that when she found herself without an unfinished book, she could order one.

Love being connected to local library and having access to free e-books through them and Amazon prime

I was also amazed by how the pages of the are meant to look like you're actually reading a real book, no ink required

I love my books, but, with a recent embracing of a more minimalist lifestyle I needed something less space-consuming

They like how convenient it is to be able to buy a book so easy and fast.

All in all a good basic e-book reader at an excellent price in the refurbished version, particularly if bought during a sale as mine was.

I love reading on it, battery last forever, books are cheap and the way the pages look just like paper is awesome.

I bought this for my mother who is an avid book reader and she loves it
