Kindle Paperwhite

"Like many people in the world today, I still prefer to read print books rather than electronic versions, but it isn’t always practical and I do end up relying heavily on my e-reader. After a big refresh of the Kindle range last year (which led to the discontinuation of my favourite Kindle, the Kindle Oasis, 😞), the current ‘best’ Kindle is most likely the Kindle Paperwhite . “It has all the best features that you would want for a Kindle,” Maneetpaul Singh, who has tested all of them, told us . “It has a seven-inch display, which is a very comfortable screen size—very similar to reading a physical book page.” It’s also better than previous versions. “The biggest improvement that I noticed was the speed,” Singh told us. “It just feels like a snappier device.” If you’re looking for the cheapest Kindle, the basic Kindle does the job just fine. Other options now include colour Kindles and Kindles designed mainly for writing. Here are our descriptions by device: Basic Kindle | Kindle Paperwhite | Colour Kindle | Kindle Scribe"

"The Kindle Paperwhite is by far the most popular one that’s sold on Amazon. It has all the best features that you would want for a Kindle. It has a seven-inch display, which is a very comfortable screen size—very similar to reading a physical book page. It has the adjustable warm light which is missing from the Kindle basic. So it’s very comfortable to read on. Even during the daytime, I find myself adjusting the warm light because I have that option to make it look more natural. You also get the water resistance as a feature that’s advertised. The Kindle Paperwhite is also a slightly more premium design than the Kindle basic. The basic has a plastic exterior. The Paperwhite is also plastic, but has more of a soft touch. The screen is flush. It feels a bit more like an expensive device. Besides that, there isn’t much difference in terms of functionality. It just has a few of those extra features that make it a more comfortable reading experience. In terms of what’s happened between the last version and this one, it’s very similar to the Kindle basic. It’s a slightly better screen though, again, I can’t tell the difference. The biggest improvement that I noticed was the speed. It’s significantly faster than the previous version. Most people probably won’t notice, but if you navigate around the Kindle a lot or you’re flipping through the pages of a book quickly, you can definitely tell. It just feels like a snappier device."
