  • 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

  • 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

  • Good display, Snappy performance, Large library of books, Good battery life
  • No charger in the box, Expensive, No Audiobook capabilities, Browser feels gimmicky
  • At Rs. 11,000 for the Wi-Fi only version and Rs. 14,000 for the Wi-Fi+3G version, the Kindle Paperwhite is expensive. But if you are someone who reads a lot of books and doesn't care about tablet functionality, or is a part of the Amazon/Kindle ecosystem,...

  • Abstract:  When Apple launched the first iPad in 2010, I was of the opinion that it mared the end of stand-alone ebook readers, just like smartphones did to portable music players and handheld gaming consoles. Why should I buy the Kindle, a dedicated ebook reader, w...

  • Absolutely. The Paperwhite is a great ereader, and the superb screen quality, easy-to-use frontlight, and improved capacitive controls make it an easy choice. The only reason to not get it would be if you really love physical buttons, in which case you sh...

  • Abstract:  I've been using a Kindle Keyboard (or a Kindle 3 for you name sticklers) for over a year now, and so far I've loved it, save for the fact that it didn't have a built-in light. I've had to purchase an external booklight for it for those times when there is...
