Fantastic legibility
Strong backlight
Easy to use
The Kindle Paperwhite boasts the best screen we've seen to date on an e-ink e-reader. The built-in light is great for nighttime reading
And the touch screen is a notch above the competition. Amazon's e-book selection remains best in class. Battery life i
The editors didn't like
A tad too wide
It could be a tad lighter
An AC adapter isn't included (just a Micro-USB cable for charging)
And there's no memory expansion slot. The ad-free version costs $20 more
Amazon continues to improve its eink screen and lighting features, which are nearly on par with an ecosystem that can't be beat. The Page Flip feature is a fantasybook reader's wish come true with quick access to maps without losing your place
Still no ability to create multiple accounts for adults reading the same book
If you're looking for a top-notch ebook reader with a lit screen, reviewers say the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite's incredibly detailed E Ink display, fast and responsive controls, abundant extras and massive book library make it a great choice. However, it's ...

Abstract: Click here for a video walkthrough of the device and some initial thoughts.There is a trend among device makers to not necessarily release a new device with all the features you'd expect. Instead, they'll opt to let features trickle out in future iteratio...
Everything. The screen, the light technology, the build and the ecosystem are fantastic. That's all you need. This is the perfect ideal of what an ereader should be. And it's the easiest thing to use. The chintzy materials of previous Kindles have been re
This isn't a complaint about the Paperwhite per se, but I found myself missing the experience of holding and handling a physical book. The smell, the weight, being able to flip through pages on a whim. I don't think I'll ever completely ditch my book coll

Great front-lit displayExcellent contrastUseful new software

Best-in-class display and built-in lighting, Sturdy and sleek, Touch input, Competitive price, Experimental Web browser
No audio features or native ePub support, No AC adapter included, $119 "Special Offers" version mandates ads in the screensaver
The Kindle Paperwhite, with its built-in lighting, near-white background, and high resolution, is today's best Kindle—and the best monochrome e-reader, period. At $119 and $139, the Wi-Fi models justify stopping short of buying a $199 tablet. ...
Light weight, Screen is bright and crisp in any lighting situation (though you may have to play with the built in light's settings), No need for additional lights or covers for reading at night, Adding a smart cover gives you instant access to where you left of (no SO version), No more spooky dead author screensavers
Not fully available internationally
Ian: I’m extremely happy with my Paperwhite. They’re not yet available outside the US or European market yet and I’m so happy that Julie helped me to get hold of one. No the Kindle screen isn’t “paper white” all the time, it’s only achievable under sp...
Best-in-class display and built-in lighting, Sturdy and sleek, Touch input, Ubiquitous 3G access, Experimental Web browser
No audio features or native ePub support, No AC adapter included, Ad-free version is same price as top 7-inch tablets, Big cost premium for 3G version versus Wi-Fi-only
The Kindle Paperwhite, with its built-in lighting, near-white background, and high resolution, is today's best Kindle—and perhaps the best monochrome e-reader, period. But we're not convinced the extra $60 to $80 for the 3G version (versus the Wi-Fi only...
