  • 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

  • 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

  • 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...

  • Excellent Display, Excellent Battery, Excellent Ecosystem
  • No headphone jack or speaker
  • 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...

  • Sharp display, Affordable
  • Design characteristics
  • 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...
