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

The editors didn't like
Not a huge change from the 2012 model
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

Abstract: Price : From $180 (2GB, Wi-Fi) | Web : www.amazon.com.auAmazon's Kindle Paperwhite e-reader has one key difference over its forebears — it packs an illuminated, edge-lit screen so you can read more easily in the dark. That does come at a slight price thou...
Fantastic legibility, Strong backlight, Easy to use
A tad too wide
Amazon has gone to great lengths to imbue the Kindle Paperwhite with the kind of texture reserved for hardcopy novels. The capacitive, always-legible and well backlit screen delivers a near-flawless experience, and the Paperwhite's ease of use is so simpl...

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
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
With an excellent built-in light and Amazon's best-in-class e-book selection, the Kindle Paperwhite rises to the top of the e-reader pack....

Front lighting makes it easier to read in the dark, Comfortable to hold, Truer blacks and whites on pages, Faster navigation and page refreshes, Superb battery life
WiFi and 3G version quite expensive, Only 2 GB of storage
Crisp text and images, Fast response with PDFs, Free 3G for life
Battery backup isn't that impressive, No Audio playback capability, Charger not included
Amazon Kindle has remained the best e-reader in the market, backed by a formidable library of electronic books and magazines, available to download seamlessly via the whispersync network. Though the price and battery backup of the Kindle Paperwhite make m...
With an excellent battery life for close to 2 months on a single full charge, and new and improved usability and features – the new Kindle Paperwhite has set the bar higher. Again. If given an option, it makes more sense to purchase the 3G variant, even i...
Abstract: I would like to do more reading than what I get to do these days. So when I got the opportunity to review the new Kindle Paperwhite (yes, there is another Kindle Paperwhite in the market) I was looking forward to the opportunity to review the sixth genera...
Abstract: Time flies; the sixth iteration of the Kindle has just debuted in India. When you picture yourself on that deck chair in your dream beach destination, it's usually with a paperback that makes you come across as more intelligent than you really are. Especi...
