The Kindle Paperwhite 4 retains some favourite features, and introduces some cool new ones. It's a winning combination!
The display on previous Kindles has always delivered crisp and laser-quality text, so it's no surprise to see the same winning formula on the Paperwhite 4: 1448 × 1072 px, 6-inch E-Ink Carta touchscreen offering 330 ppi pixel density.
The smooth glass front and slim-line design make the Paperwhite 4 a very cool Kindle to look at. The thinner design also means this new Kindle is slightly lighter than its predecessor, coming in at a very easy-to-hold 182 grams.
One of the biggest improvements in the Paperwhite 4 is the water resistance. The IPX8 rating means this device can withstand immersion in 2 metres of fresh water for 60 minutes. Reading on the beach, by the pool, or in the bath, is a much less fraught affair thanks to this higher rating.
Another new feature in the Kindle Paperwhite 4 is the Bluetooth module that lets you listen to Audible audiobooks.
There were lots of requests for the 4th generation Kindle Paperwhite to have increased internal memory or offer different versions based on memory size. Your wishes have been granted! The 8 GB version allows you to download thousands of ebooks, or some 30 – 40 full-length audiobooks in standard quality, while the 32 GB version gives you virtually unlimited ebook storage, and the ability to download at least 150 Audible audiobooks.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire has been the star of the show as late, but we can’t forget they have a huge hand in the eReader world. Amazon isn’t ready to leave their bread and butter behind and with that we have the all new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite , the first Kindle with a front lit or built-in light for...
As far as the Kindle Paperwhite goes, it’s arguably the best e-reader you can buy if you’re a book worm. It’s a single-purpose device that allows you to focus on the words and cut out all of the distractions of today’s modern world.
This is the Best E-Reader Money Can Buy
Amazon rolls out a new version of its flagship eReader, and it's still king....
For the last two years I’ve been more than happy with my Kindle Keyboard (3) 3G and haven’t seen the need to upgrade to any of the newer Kindle versions. Smaller size or touch interface never seemed to be a driving factor to warrant spending the extra money on an “upgrade”.
Easy-to-use; New premium hardware design.
Mostly good as a portal to Amazon services; Not great if you want library books or other reading material.
In the great e-reader saga, the Kindle is clearly the protagonist, and one worth rooting for.
Nearly perfect front-lit screen; Improved capacitive touch; Superior contrast, sharpness and texture; Charges over standard USB and lasts forever (6 to 8 weeks); Features like X-Ray and Time to Read make reading funner; Ads? Who cares!
Ads (if you care); Light blooms at bottom of screen can be distracting; No physical page-turning buttons.
If you're yet to buy an ereader there's a lot to like here. The improvements are small, but significant enough to make this the best Kindle yet and the best ereader around. If you already have a Kindle 4 or below, it's probably worth upgrading for the bonus of that night light.
More responsive touchscreen; Faster page turns; Unrivalled library and ease of
Backlight can drain battery
To say that Amazon has been the single most powerful catalyst in the ebook revolution would not be an exaggeration. Before the introduction of the Kindle , many who adored the printed page universally scoffed at ebook readers, claiming that such devices would never replace the traditional reading...
This product was purchased for my husbands birthday. Upon unwrapping and turned on, we had noticed that it had a Brocken pixel. You cant notice it, unless you look down the screen, but for the amount of money that was spend on it is not quite right.
