Have the Kindle app on my phone and was unsure about a dedicated Kindle device. Have been very happy with Kindle which is much easier on the eyes and an overall better experience.
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.

Have the Kindle app on my phone and was unsure about a dedicated Kindle device. Have been very happy with Kindle which is much easier on the eyes and an overall better experience.
Absoltely delighted with the product. Very light weight and easy to read.
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.
I love the access to all my books at a reasonable price. Wonderful especially when travelling
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.
The Kindle Paperwhite takes a lot of what we love about the more expensive, high-end Kindle Oasis and brings the core features into a more affordable package. This is a must-have ereader if you're after a way to read ebooks but you don't want to spend over $200 or £200.
