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
If you want a Kindle just for reading books, not for playing games and surfing the net, then this e-ink screen is way easier on the eyes than the Kindle Fire HD or iPad mini. It has the crispest e-ink screen from Amazon yet and it’s enhanced by a ligh...
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is, without doubt, the best eReader ever made. The legibility of the E Ink screen on Kindle devices has always been far ahead of the competition and is far easier on the eye for extended reading sessions than backlit tablet de...
Built-in light makes for comfortable, clear reading; Very portable; Easy-to-buy books from Amazon; Good battery life
No support for. epub files; Slightly heavier than regular Kindle; 3G version costs £60 more
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a great ebook reader, with a built-in light that makes for clear, comfortable reading, even in the dark. Buying books direct from Amazon is a breeze, though there's still no support for the popular .epub file format....
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite’s by far the slickest looking e-reader Amazon has ever produced. It’s just 9.1mm deep, almost entirely free of buttons, and made of a deep matte black that looks far cooler than a book has any right to. It’s missing the page turn buttons of its cheaper Kindle brother, but its touchscreen controls are easy to get to grips with: just tap on the right side of the page to
It’s hard to muster many complaints about the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, but if we have one, it’s the weight. At around 204g, it’s noticeably heavier than the 168g entry level Kindle. Much of that is centred on the bottom of the Paperwhite, so it thankfully isn’t too top heavy in your hands, but if you’re used to a lighter e-reader it may definitely distract you. Of course, it’s still lighter than
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best black and white e-reader you can buy right now, even if it is a tad heavier than we’ve grown used to. It’s certainly a far more polished product than its rival, the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, with a more ...

A fantastic ebook reader, whose built-in light is currently the best in the business, and the price is right too...
Great screen, Impressive battery, Responsive display
Locked into Amazon, No audio functions
There's room for improvement in future models, but the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best, most complete version-feeling of the Kindle to date. It doesn't have every feature the series has ever offered, but it does offer everything that related to what ...
Light so you can read in the dark, Wi-Fi and 3G for downloading books, easy to use, touchscreen - so no buttons, big choice of books, great battery life
Locked-in to Kindle books
If you're worried that will do your eyes in, don't be, it is a very pleasant experience, and one you'll enjoy, no matter what pulp fiction you are reading...
Crisp edge, lighting, Sharper screen and better fonts, Fast, smooth, touch, based UI, Improved home screen
No more headphone jack, 3G version is pricey
Overall, Amazon has another winner here, and let's hope the Kindle Paperwhite does come over to the UK before too long. That said, existing Kindle Touch owners will probably pass on this device anyway, as their version has more memory and a headphone jac...
