As I am a first time user I must say that I am truly impress as it is a really light weight device to hold and use. It does exactly what it is suppose to do which is to use it for reading. I use to use the Kindle app on my iPhone but I always got interrupted while reading as messages would pop up.
Honestly, I have been hesitating for a long time in getting a Kindle as I like paper backs but with the ever increasing number of books that I have accumulated, I was running out of shelf space at home and so I took the plunge to get a Kindle and I must say, it’s a whole new experience which I am beginning to enjoy. I highly recommend this Kindle Paperwhite 2019 10th Generation 8GB model!

About the shipping, I ordered it online from Amazon.sg on 15 Dec and received it on 23 Dec which was 5 days earlier than the estimated delivery date. Since it was the Christmas season, I thought there would be some delays but Christmas came early that day. I am happy with the quick delivery and bought it at a promotional price as well.
With regard to setting it up and connecting to the WIFI, I noticed that it can only connect to a 2.4GHz wireless frequency. I am not sure if this is mentioned in the User’s Guide, but if not, I think this information should be taken note of as well. This is because I thought my reader was defective when I tried to connect it to the 5GHz frequency - if I remember it right, the error was incorrect password but actually was not. I also tried to tether my phone to Kindle but I hadn’t had a chance to make it work yet. So for now, I need to connect to my home’s WIFI to update the library.
Reading books from the Kindle app my iPhone vs Kindle are different experiences in itself. With the Kindle app, it feels like I am reading from a glossy page; I can see the colors of photos but there is also a glare that I have to bear with. With Kindle, pages look matte which is like the screen of the Magic Writer (kid’s toy where you can write on then erase with the magnetic glider) but I can read the text even under direct sunlight. So for me, there is some getting used to when I started reading from a Kindle.
Lastly, I bought the Kindle to make my commute worthwhile. Now, I can read anytime, anywhere without the weight :)
Happy reading!
The major downside is when Amazon locks your account for unusual activity and then ignores you when you try to get it unlocked - making it impossible to purchase books for the kindle rendering it absolutely useless.
Ball’s in your court, Amazon.

Since my PaperWhite 1 has been so reliable and for so long, I wanted to continue to own a PaperWhite. As there was a Thanksgiving season promotion at very good rate, I bought the all new Kindle PaperWhite 4 (10th Gen). I can now continue to read my story books!! From PaperWhite 1 to PaperWhite 4, it’s quite an upgrade. Page turning/refresh is noticeably faster. It is also a little bit lighter. Let’s hope that it can serve me at least 7 years too.
Next, I shall start to look around for a case/cover for it

A software feature to allow borrowing books would be fantastic. Currently you are forced to buy books from amazon only. No borrowing. No free books.
