There are numerous screen controls to improve and adjust your reading experience including reducing and enlarging font size with a pinch and zoom gesture (what's easier than that?), and a slider for raising and lowing the backlight.īasically, you can hand a Kindle Paperwhite to even the most tech-averse person and they'll figure out how to use it in no time. A touch-screen means that the gesture you used to turn pages on physical books works just as well on a Kindle Paperwhite. There's only one button along the bottom edge for power and sleep. Almost the entire face is made up of a 6.7-inch display. Easy to useĪmazon Kindles are generally simple devices. Again, the system is built for reading and you'll never need more space for, say, video or photo files. You can fit thousands of books and magazines (even black and white graphic novels) on a single Kindle Paperwhite. The 8GB of storage space might not seem like a lot, but e-reader files are incredibly small. Plus, it's called "Paperwhite" because the E Ink screen has been refined to offer as close to a white background as possible on an electronic ink display (granted, you can also read in dark mode which puts "white" text on a black background). The Paperwhite's 300ppi screen is designed for letter and reading clarity. That's kind of obvious, but it's meant that every improvement since the earliest Kindles has been to enhance the reading experience and virtually nothing else. In a world where every portable device seeks to do as much as possible, where watches take our blood pressure, and smartphones can sense a car crash, the Amazon Kindle line of e-readers do exactly one thing: they're designed for reading. If anything, I think it adds credence to all the reasons why I think the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite sits in the sweet spot between affordability and delight that makes for a near-perfect Black Friday Deals purchase. None of that makes my observations any less valid.
Since then, I've owned multiple Kindles and my current one has been in my hands for at least four years.
Let me start by saying that I've been using Amazon Kindle e-readers since the second edition (it had cute, physical buttons on the side to turn pages).
