The product is good and useful. Only the Company should bundle at least a standard flip cover for protection. The policy of the Company to push sales of flip cover separately does not leave a good impression amongst the buyers. similarly charger is also an essential part that should have been bundled with the product. Selling things unbundled is not a very sincere marrketing strategy.

Book reading has been my life and love for a long time now but over here at college I don't really have any real shops to go to and look at a book and touch it.
So a Kindle was the way to go. The features are really good for the bucks. The screen itself doesn't strain the eyes and the next generations' touchscreen makes things even easier. With the 4 gigabytes storage, many many books can be stored. With the inbuilt dictionary and Wi-Fi connectivity...it's even cooler.
The best thing is the screen and it's great viewing angles. The e-Ink technology really has great contrast and gives the closest feeling of holding an actual book that any reader can give.
It's a dedicated book reader that can do nothing other than open books of compatible formats and that means lesser distraction while reading a book. Bye bye social media.
Delivery was prompt and fast. Good service.
Now for some reading!! :D

The new 7th generation Kindle basic comes with 4GB of memory--twice as much as my 5th gen--and enough to store thousands of average-sized books.
Display - infrared touch screen works much better than expected. It is very responsive and flawless in operation. You just tap on the left to advance a page, on the right to go back a page, and on the top of the screen to view the menu and other information.
Price - it is just good but it can be made BEST for India subcontinent as considering the fact the kindle owner buy/spent more on Amazon.
Battery Life - Battery lasts really long, just charge once and read for weeks.
Best Features is Dictionary Just select the word and its meaning would pop up. Other features Wikipedia search / Xray, enlarging fonts and Whispersync technology which synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, and annotations across all your devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off reading.
Regarding Books, you can safely buy almost any books from Amazon and normally they are cheaper than Paperback edition. You can google for many free books also. Best supported format are .AZW3 and .Mobi. You can also convert easily .Epub to .Mobi.
For PDF Reading, Amazon need to go long way, as it is still offering basic compatibility only.
BIG CON - It has only One CON – you cannot read it in Night or dark room. May be you consider Kindle Paperwhite for this purpose.
Customer support / Warranty issue – Amazon is known to be best in the world. Just close your eye and trust Amazon.
Finally - In Nutshell, This little device is awesome Library with full value of money. Just go for it.

The amount of ignorant people on this review section is amazing! Do some basic research before criticising a product for exactly what it is.
1) This is one of the cheapest, best & most convenient e-readers in the market. At the same exact price as in the US ($99)
2) this version has no backlight, it never claimed to have one. A simple google search would suffice. Buy the Paperwhite like i did if you need backlight.
3) Battery life is outstanding. On Airplane mode it claims to work for a month. My paperwhite does so i have no doubt this e-reader does too.
4) Only Kindle compatible books work properly. Convert e-pub & PDF intro MOBI format using Calibre software. The epub books get converted proper, but the PDFs are dicey and i would not reccomend them. If you are going to pirate books, take the effort to find a kindle format so it doesn't hamper your experience.
5) This is solely a book reader. You cannot browse, go online or anything else on it. Don't have false expectations.
Lastly, for regular readers, this is a no brainer.Its a wonderful device. WOuld recommend the paperwhite solely for the backlight. But you do get covers with light on it, or you could just buy a cheap reading light if you do not want to spend the extra 3K. Its worth it though.

Kindle Paper white is a real blessing for the readers,
just like a book,
carry your library along with you everywhere,
read in sunlight,
I opted kindle without inbuilt light to save 3000RS and thinking that it might be straining eyes.
Just keep in mind if you have a PDF collection that for PDF files you can not zoom in /zoom out....... so you need to work it out --- either your convert pdf to word and delete all extra page breaks & spaces, then re convert it to kindle version if the pdf file is in some other language than English then enlarge the font in word file to 18 to 24 and reconvert it to pdf again.
The best is to convert files from words format to kindle version, when you convert pdf to those formats there comes unnecessary page breaks which make your reading unpleasant.
