Here's why BuzzFeed editor Abby Kass loves it.
“^ Yes, here I am, sitting in a pool in Hawaii, holding my Kindle above the water without the stress or fear of breaking it if I fall. I'm truly living my best life. I've been an avid Kindle user for some time. I've been using it for 4 years and when I saw the new version I knew it was time to upgrade. The biggest selling point is the fact that this product is waterproof. In fact, it is so waterproof that it can be submerged in up to 2 meters of fresh water for more than 60 minutes. Plus, it's lighter, has more storage, and a battery that lasts weeks. I took this with me on vacation and was very impressed. I was able to sit on the pool ledge and read without worrying about my device getting wet. I put it in water for testing and it still works perfectly. Plus, I used it every day and didn't have to charge it the entire trip. That gets a big gold star in my book. ”
Another promising review: “I'm so glad I didn't spend money on the ad-free version. I don't have to wait for the ads to go away and they only appear when I first turn it on. This unit is great! It's very easy on the eyes and much better than reading text on your phone. I'm very happy with this reader because I can easily go back, select a book, turn a page, and look up the meaning of a word. You can read anywhere: in bright sunlight, in the shade, or in the dark. I attached a cover that stands on its own. it is perfect.I’ve read more books in the past eight weeks than I have in the past three years.” —Neil J. Dahlen
