Customers like the readability of the Amazon Kindle. They say that the display is comfortable to read from, and easy to navigate. The text appears very crisp and easy on the eyes, making it easy to read for a few minutes while waiting for an appointment. The device is fantastically suited for text-based book reading, and customers appreciate the quick and easy way to see what books or documents they have on the device. The resolution of the display seems fine and very close to what you would get in a real book. Customers also love having Goodreads right there on the menu.

Customers like the size of the product. They mention that it's small, yet easy to read, with or without reading glasses. They like that the font size is easy to change and that the weight is nice. They also like that it fits perfectly in their old Kindle Touch case. The bottom bezel is also bigger than the paperwhite's, making it a good place to rest.

Customers are mixed about the screen of the Amazon Kindle. Some mention that the touch screen is great, the infrared touch screen works much better than expected, and it's easier to lightly tap the screen as opposed to the buttons on their previous device. However, others say that the screen needs improvement, it sometimes seems a little more sensitive than expected and that it turns multiple pages if not touched quickly enough. They also say that it doesn't even autorotate, although it can be put in landscape mode.

"...I can see nothing that would suggest much use for sure. No problems with the screen as of now and the touch mechanism to me is working perfectly...." Read more

"...There is still a notable lag when pressing a button on-screen, and there is also a delay in showing text while typing on the virtual keyboard...." Read more

It still works and has loads of room for more. I wanted to upgrade to the scribe but I enjoy keeping this task separate, reading solely opposed to the added business with the scribe. I'm still fond of the scribe option but, I'm willing to wait a bit longer before I transition. I have the app on all my devices but it gets busy there on that side of town. I'll stay here where it's safer to just read.
