kindle paperwhite review
Unique display backlight
Amazon has developed and patented a unique backlight technology for the Kindle Paperwhite. The top layer of the screen is the thinnest fiber optic cable through which the light beam passes and directs the light directly onto the text, evenly illuminating the entire screen. At the same time, your eyes will not get tired! You can adjust the light level (24 steps).
High screen resolution
The Kindle Paperwhite screen contains 62% more pixels than the Kindle and Kindle Touch. The clarity of text and images is unprecedented!
How
long to read The new Kindle Paperwhite feature lets you determine how long it takes to finish reading the current chapter or the entire book. The device tracks the time you spend on each page and calculates the approximate time it will take you to finish reading a book.
Cover “wakes up” your Kindle Paperwhite
If you purchase a branded cover from Amazon, then you no longer have to press the on / off button of the device. When you open the cover, the device will automatically turn on, and when closed, it turns off automatically. This feature is now also available on copies of the original cover.
