Eguller Thanks. She said that was very helpful. I was reading the the Kindle Paperwite is highly rated ???
Yes it is. My wife's first Kindle was like the Paperwhite. I believe the paperwhite is just an improved version of what my wife had. If your wife wants something just to read books it would be a good choice. The paperwhite has what my wife's Kindle didn't have. It has a built in light system so you can read in a dark room if you want to. The one my wife had was just like a book, you had to have a light on to read in a darker setting. That was one of the major reasons my wife upgraded to a Kindle Fire 7. She liked mine in that I could read in a completely dark room if I wanted to. I also have the option of the background color of the page. The usual white (which my wife likes), tan, light green or reverse colors (black background with white letters (which I like best). The paperwhite would also be good if she wants to read outside. Mine works but most of the time I need to change to white background and black letters to do it because bright sunny days washout the screen a bit. I find the white background and black letters somewhat irritate my eyes after reading for a while, the same as looking at a computer screen for a long time.
