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

Bright, high contrast screen, Front light, Battery life (2-8 weeks), Improved touch interface, USB charging
DRM book selection, Non-compatible with other e-book stores, No expanded storage or microSD
For $120 — or $140 if you don't want the ads, which are mostly non-intrusive – the Kindle Paperwhite is a worthwhile investment for a book reader. If you're already into the Nook ecosystem, this probably isn't a reason to switch since the Nook Simple To...
Excellent E-Ink display that's sharper with good frontlighting. Slim and light
