The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a great e-reader, with good touch functionality, a responsive illuminated display and a great ecosystem. But it does have its drawbacks: it's a closed system on which you can only read books sold by Amazon, it doesn't play ...
Abstract: Apple's compact tablet is powerful, beautifully designed and comes with access to the largest range of tablet-specific apps of any operating system. It is also more expensive than its rivals. As with the other tablets, there are films, television and m...
Unintuitive interface, tied into Amazon books eco-system, expensive for 3G
The Kindle Paperwhite is a great addition to the Amazon e-reader stable, with the same impressive battery and e-ink screen but a handy light added to the touch display. But there are a few niggles around the interface and Amazon eco-system, and we woul...
Thanks to Amazon's unparalleled ebook library and ease of use, the Paperwhite is a fantastic ereader to own. The screen is excellent, both the light and touch elements, and the whole device is well built. Kobo's Glo is a good alternative if you think you...

Abstract: Amazon's Kindle revolutionised how we read books – rather than bulky paperbacks in every commuter's bag, or a suitcase full of easy reads for a beach holiday, now we can all carry whatever we want, wherever we want on an affordable gadget. For many peo...
If you want a Kindle just for reading books, not for playing games and surfing the net, then this e-ink screen is way easier on the eyes than the Kindle Fire HD or iPad mini. It has the crispest e-ink screen from Amazon yet and it’s enhanced by a ligh...
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is, without doubt, the best eReader ever made. The legibility of the E Ink screen on Kindle devices has always been far ahead of the competition and is far easier on the eye for extended reading sessions than backlit tablet de...
Built-in light makes for comfortable, clear reading; Very portable; Easy-to-buy books from Amazon; Good battery life
No support for. epub files; Slightly heavier than regular Kindle; 3G version costs £60 more
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a great ebook reader, with a built-in light that makes for clear, comfortable reading, even in the dark. Buying books direct from Amazon is a breeze, though there's still no support for the popular .epub file format....
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
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, it’s still lighter than
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best black and white e-reader you can buy right now, even if it is a tad heavier than we’ve grown used to. It’s certainly a far more polished product than its rival, the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, with a more ...
