My wife and I both have Kindle Paper whites. They've been great so far. Got a good deal on both of them, because, yes. They are rather expensive at full price. Keep an eye on the used offerings on Amazon if they're sold and shipped by Amazon Warehouse Deals. Often these are items that were returned and have an open box, but they are still in excellent condition and the price is lower. That's how I got one of our Kindles!

Let me know what you think about the links!
