Would buy again
Just recently got into reading and this has been a great start to my Kindle journey. Sometimes it is a little slow and glitchy and takes longer than normal, but I totally understand that because it is an older version of the product. Other than that, I am in love with us and I’ve been using it every single day And the charge less for a very long time.

Mom loves the new gift! Perfect just as described!
Mom loves the new gift! Perfect just as described! Still a Fantastic E-Reader—Even Used!Even as a previous generation model, this Kindle Paperwhite (2018) holds up incredibly well. The 2X storage is a huge plus—I can carry thousands of books with me wherever I go. The display is crisp and easy on the eyes, even in bright sunlight, and the built-in adjustable light makes nighttime reading a breeze.The waterproof feature is a game-changer for reading by the pool or in the bath without worry. Despite being in used condition, mine arrived in great shape with only minor signs of wear and works perfectly. Battery life is excellent, lasting for weeks on a single charge.If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to enjoy the Kindle experience, this model is a smart buy. It’s reliable, lightweight, and still one of the best e-readers out there. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend
I received it the same day it said I would with no delays. I expected some slight cosmetic issues with it being pre owned but there’s not a mark on it, it looks brand new. I received it at 88% battery life and it lasted 4 days before dying completely (I read for hours each day and have read a little over 2 books in that time). I’ve heard they last for weeks after fully charged, I charged it for the first time today and it charged completely within about an hour so we’ll see how long I can go this time. I’d love to get weeks out of this device but with as much as I read, if I have to charge it once a week it’s still very much worth the money. It does lag a bit (I knew that going in when I researched the product itself) and I thought that would be an issue for me because I get impatient but the response time imo is faster than turning an actual book page so it doesn’t bother me in the least. I understand the appeal of a newer one as I’ve researched both but for over 100$ cheaper, the differences between the two wasn’t worth the extra $ for me. If you’re on the fence about ordering, I’d definitely recommend taking the chance.

Decent enough, for a used device
This is not a new device, not pristine. There’s a minor scratch on the screen, not too distracting, and I’m not sure how long-lasting the battery is. Response time isn’t that great. That said, it should be fine for my purpose: it is an earlier generation of Kindle, and will not be “upgraded” to the latest firmware.
It was everything we thought it would be –
Love it
It works great

Just what my wife has been asking about. I hope it is simple to use.
I got this for my wife and it was delivered tonight. It looks absolutely new with the battery at 65%.I loaded a large epub book converted using Calibre 64bit to azw3 in the Library.The image of the book cover looks beautiful.

Works perfectly
I purchased two of these during the big spring sale. One for my husband and one for myself as an upgrade from an older generation basic kindle.They both came in perfect condition. They have almost all of the same features of the new paperwhite except the warm lighting which wasn’t a deal breaker for us since we use blue blocking glasses. I like the smaller 6 in size because it’s easier to hold and I can still throw it in my purse and read anywhere. The screen resolution is also a very nice upgrade over my old kindle and the ability to read in dark mode might be my favorite feature.All in all it’s been a really great purchase and I’m glad I took a chance on buying a refurbished unit. If they come back in stock and you are considering it, don’t hesitate. It’s a really affordable way to upgrade or jump into using a kindle while getting almost all of the features of the newer generation.

Decent but, check out eBay first
Let me preface this review with this; I have three Kindles. I have a 7 gen Kindle I bought from eBay for $32, I have a new Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition I bought during Black Friday last year, and now I have this one. The device info says it is a 10th gen Kindle Paperwhite.My issues with this device are:The device info shows it started with just 6.23gb of usable space instead of the advertised 8gb. If you are just downloading epub files to it, not a big deal, it will still hold a lot. But, it is false advertising and if you want to use the audiobook feature it will be a noticeable dent in your space for those.I’ve had it now for 3 hours. It as arrived about 74% charged and due to the type of battery it has, I will be running it down completely before recharging the first time (this can help maximize your battery health). My concern is that it is already at 52% and it takes literally days and days of use for my other Kindles to drop this much. Granted, I was completing set up, registering my account, and uploading books so, heavier wifi use compared to just reading so, I’m going to give it a chance and keep an eye on it but, it’s concerning. Quick tip: read your books on airplane mode and the battery will last longer. Look online for other battery saving tips because there are some tricks.There are SEVERAL blemishes on my screen. These are more noticable because I read in dark mode to save my eyes in bed. These are not dead pixels, these are deep surface layer scratches that have damaged the screen. Not too happy about that because my older and cheaper Kindle from eBay came with no scratches.Even though I have it set to refresh on every page turn to help limit the typical e-ink ghosting, it is still ghosting sometimes fairly noticably. This could be an indication that my screen is about to freeze up like some of the other reviews complained about. Time will tell. If it happens within the next few months, I’ll try to come back and update. If I get 6 months of good use out of it, I’ll be a bit disappointed but I’ll accept that since I paid $50 and it only took a couple days to get here which is why I risked Amazon over eBay, I was being impatient.My positive notes:This Kindle actually responds faster than my new Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition! I’m over here turning pages quickly with the lightest touch, when my new Kindle Paperwhite Signature seems to think a second before responding or it jumps pages. I haven’t experienced that with this one yet so, I’m surprised and pleased with that.I didn’t realize when I bought it that this edition supports audiobooks as well, so that was another pleasant surprise. But, maybe it doesn’t count because it was only a surprise on a part of my lack of noticing on the description but, still, I’m happy it has this feature because I didn’t expect it on this older edition.Overall, I have to give it about a C+ right now. Which is probably in line with Amazon’s grading for a refurbished, used condition device. If it continues operating flawlessly and the battery lasts at least a week of normal use, then I can overlook the moderately scratched screen. If it starts to have OS or performance issues though, it will have been a waste over just waiting and taking my chances on eBay. However, $50 was at least $15 cheaper than any eBay current listings I had seen before I decided on this one so, I felt like taking the gamble.I love Kindles and this one is meant to be for my Horror/Thriller collection since I have other ones in better condition, I don’t mind the condition of this one too much. If this were my first Kindle however, I would have been disappointed. If it’s your first Kindle, consider waiting for an Amazon sale and buying a new one so you get the full, unflawed experience. During Prime Day the base Kindle was $70 new and judging by my experience with this purchase, that one would be worth the wait and the $20 more.
