How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for adults too
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2021
I ordered the Paperwhite Kids as its the same device as the adult version, but comes with a longer 2 year warranty and a free cover. I had to set up a kids profile initially during setup, but I was able to delete that in settings and it now functions as a normal paperwhite as far as I can tell, nothing childish about it! I've even sideloaded a few ebooks just to see if it would work and all OK.

Re the device itself, I'm loving it so far. Screen much better than my original / ancient paperwhite and more responsive. Happy customer.

1.0 out of 5 starsBackward step, and very poor value
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2022
I bought a Barnes & Noble Nook back in 2013 (!!), for £29. This Paperwhite (or should I say paperweight!) cost over £100 for a slightly bigger screen and slightly brighter. But the interface is absolutely terrible and all over the place. The collections interaction is almost non-existent, and book manipulation on the Amazon Kindle page is like it was written by a teenager on his first computer class. And don't get me started on the PC Kindle App.
Amazon, you need professional developers to write the software, clearly no investment in this product. Considering the amount of profit Amazon must be making on these (compared to the superior Nook), maybe Jeff Bezos should spend less money on rockets, and more on Amazon products. Battery life is looking pretty dodgy too compared to the Nook which is still going strong after 9 years. Think I'll go back to the Nook, and return the Paperwhite..

3.0 out of 5 stars disappointed about lack of parental controls
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2022
Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
When ordering, I had thought that we would be able to set a bed time, ie that it would turn off at a particular time, without us having to be there at lights out time and then take away the Kindle to prevent all night reading.... I see the description now says this feature is "coming soon".... not soon enough for my liking!! The good thing is that it has completely got my 10 year old daughter back into reading - she LOVES the Kindle, though this was not something she asked for or wanted; the bad thing is that she is literally reading all night unless we take the damn thing off her!! When are the parental controls going to include this feature please??
Also slightly disappointed about the policy of having the first in a series included in the sub, but not the remainder of the series, so we've already had to buy 4 more books to complete a set she started. For us the main thing is that she's finding books she wants to read, but other parents might want to bear in mind that having the Kindle with the sub doesn't mean that you won't still have to spend money on books as well.
