Straight up - let me tell you this Kindle is really nice to hold. Well balanced in the hand and looks quite striking with its burnished silver finish.
Touch screen is nice and responsive - as is the system itself. I like the turning control feature that reorients the page, depending on which hand you're holding it in / which side you're laying on in bed (my Kindle Paperwhite couldn't do that).
With the Wi-fi capability, it's dead easy to browse the Kindle Store directly from the device. Books are also super quick to download. Sometimes I finish a book and I have a new one to read within a couple of minutes.
Resolution is fantastic and easy to read in any light. Great to read in bed just before going to sleep too - without having to have a bedside lamp on. The 'warm' screen option keeps my brain in low-res mode (minimal stimulation) and when I get tired enough, I just press the button, place it on the bedside table and drift off to sleep within a minute or too (and I'm typically an awful sleeper)! Also great if you wake up at 1am and need help getting back to sleep with minimal stimulation (without disturbing your partner). Usually puts me back to sleep within 20 minutes (rather than the usual 2 hours of laying there thinking about work etc.)
Battery life is exceptional.
Great to whip out in a waiting room (Doctor's or Dentist's etc.). Especially in these strange times where magazines aren't available in many waiting rooms. And I like that it keeps me off Social Media and away from my phone - which is what I'd usually be reaching for in that situation.
Slips nicely even into my smaller handbags or a backpack when I ride my scooter - so I can always take it with me to a cafe or to sit in a park somewhere.
I'd honestly say this Kindle is worth every cent.
