Was a little Skeptical at first

Was a little Skeptical at first
I bought this impulsively because I’ve wanted an ereader since my stepsister let me borrow hers many years ago, and after it was already shipped I read some reviews of glitches etc, so I was a little worried I would get a bad one, but also saw the good reviews and was sooooo hopefully I’d get an add free one and I DID! I was so happy. It definitely is smaller than I expected but it’s perfect since I have small hands. (It’s a little bigger screen than iPhone 12) it’s perfectly travel size and even fits in my back pocket (ladies for the win). It is a little slow when turning pages but that’s to be expected. Also, people please do your research before you purchase an ereader, because too many reviews are about lack of color… the battery lasts a good amount of time by incorporating the least amount of technology needed to make the battery last which is what makes this product so cool to use. Setup was super easy because it was all ready to link to my Amazon (which I do find a little odd) but all I had to click was “yes this is my account” and boom I was in! The books are so affordable! Definitely beats a $30 paperback!

Reviewed in France on July 20, 2022
1ère liseuse pour ma part! Jusque la j'étais sceptique mais... J'ai donc choisi ce modèle, en lisant les descriptifs l'autre modèle paperwhite n'apporté guère plus à un novice. Facile à mettre en route et à relier à son compte amazon prime. Début de lecture aussitôt arrivé. C'est simple d'accéder à énormément de titres avec son abonnement prime. La lecture est agréable, elle tient dans la main comme un livre de poche! Je dirai encore plus aisément. Pour ma part très bien et conquise! A voir dans le temps.
Achat en reconditionné certifié sur Amazon impeccable.
