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

Could be higher resolution
No support for. epub files
Slightly heavier than regular Kindle
3G version costs £60 more
UK adapter not included
No support for ePub
CBZ/CBR or audio files
Halos of light around edges / Light not always consistent across screen
Proprietary system allows Amazon file formats only
Nonexpandable memory
No SD card slot
Screen lighting lower
Familiar
Bland design
Still missing some features
Over-sensitive touch tech
Dodgy browser
Fewer features than US
Unintuitive interface
Tied into Amazon books eco-system
Expensive for 3G
Amazon refuses to support the popular ePUB book format
And the 3G version of the Paperwhite is relatively expensive
Locked-in to Kindle books
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

Great eReader, but battery life is a concern.Overall, a very impressive fielding from Amazon in the eReader department. Not only does the Kindle Paperwhite enjoy all the same content availability and support as the other Kindles, but it is the beneficiary...
Amazon's Kindle lines of e-readers, like iPods, are kind of synonymous with the whole e-reader concept. Most people think of an eBook and automatically think of Kindle, that's just the way it is. Amazon knows this, too, and has consistently updated the d...
Finally, it's worth noting that as usual there are both Wi-Fi and 3G models available. With the increased proliferation of Wi-Fi and smartphone-created hotspots I'm not sure who really needs the 3G version and at £150 it's an expensive convenience. Both m...

The Kindle Paperwhite is not the cheapest or the most expensive e-reader that you can buy but falls in the middle of possible price ranges. As such it has a good touch screen, it comfortable to hold and has an excellent screen. Whilst the Voyage is poss...

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...
