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

Great display in all light conditions, Good value for money, Competitive bookstore, Ecosystem that's hard to beat
Not a huge change from the 2012 model, Could be higher resolution
If you've been wondering whether to dive in an buy a Kindle, then the 2013 Paperwhite is the model we'd recommend above all of the other Amazon options. The screen illumination is lovely and the touch response is fast enough to make everything happen with...

Abstract: A more advanced, more expensive sibling of the Kindle 5, the Paperwhite initially seems identical to its line-mate. Turn it on, and there's one major difference, though: the e-ink screen is now a self-illuminating e-ink touchscreen. Furthermore, it's avai...
Abstract: It is perhaps because I have kind of reached terminal velocity myself – seriously, in most fields, I'm already about as good as I'm going to get – that I have become interested in the idea of gadgets getting to the point where they can't be significantly ...
Abstract: If one of your New Year's resolutions is to read more, then an ebook reader can help. Although lighter than a hardback, these ultraportable gadgets can carry a small library's worth of books and far better suited for reading novels than a tablet. The l...

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a great e-reader, with good touch functionality, a responsive illuminated display and a great ecosystem. But it does have its drawbacks: it's a closed system on which you can only read books sold by Amazon, it doesn't play ...
Abstract: Apple's compact tablet is powerful, beautifully designed and comes with access to the largest range of tablet-specific apps of any operating system. It is also more expensive than its rivals. As with the other tablets, there are films, television and m...
Unintuitive interface, tied into Amazon books eco-system, expensive for 3G
The Kindle Paperwhite is a great addition to the Amazon e-reader stable, with the same impressive battery and e-ink screen but a handy light added to the touch display. But there are a few niggles around the interface and Amazon eco-system, and we woul...
Thanks to Amazon's unparalleled ebook library and ease of use, the Paperwhite is a fantastic ereader to own. The screen is excellent, both the light and touch elements, and the whole device is well built. Kobo's Glo is a good alternative if you think you...

Abstract: Amazon's Kindle revolutionised how we read books – rather than bulky paperbacks in every commuter's bag, or a suitcase full of easy reads for a beach holiday, now we can all carry whatever we want, wherever we want on an affordable gadget. For many peo...
