Product details
Unlike the "Special Offers" version, this model does not have a preset user interface with automatically displayed banner ads sponsored by Amazon. With twice as many pixels as the previous generation,
Kindle Paperwhite has an improved 300 ppi high-resolution display for laser-quality, razor-sharp text.
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, Kindle Paperwhite reads like paper. Kindle Paperwhite will not leave you tied to an outlet. A single charge can last up to six weeks (based on half an hour of reading per day with the radio off and a light setting of ten).
Does not tire your eyes in the dark. Unlike backlit tablets that glow in your eyes, Kindle uses the built-in front light to direct light to the surface of the display, so you can read comfortably for hours without straining your eyes. Get lost in a book: Kindle Paperwhite is designed specifically for reading and creates a shrine so you can get lost in a book. Unlike tablets and cell phones, Kindle doesn't distract you with social media, email and text messages.
Enjoy text that reads like the printed page. Our fonts, such as Bookerly, have been manually adjusted at the pixel level to ensure maximum legibility. Choose from eight text sizes to avoid tired eyes and read longer.
Look it up immediately while you read. Smart Lookup integrates entries from the New Oxford American Dictionary with information from X-Ray and Wikipedia so you can access definitions, characters, settings and more without losing your place.
Know how long it will take to complete the last chapter. Time to Read is personalized based on your reading speed, and is constantly updated as your speed and habits change. At a glance, you know how much time it takes to complete a chapter or book.
Translate passages immediately. Tap any word or highlight a section to instantly translate it into other languages, including Spanish, Japanese and more. The translations are done by Bing Translator.
Free Kindle App: Download the Kindle app to your mobile phone, tablet, PC or Mac to continue reading when you don't have your Kindle with you.
Change devices without losing your space. Amazon's Whispersync technology remembers where you left off in a book so you can seamlessly switch between your Kindle and Kindle app on your smartphone, tablet or computer without ever losing your place.
Reading children's books and comics. Kindle supports children's books with Kindle Text Pop-Up, and comic books with Kindle Panel View, which allows you to read a comic book panel by panel. When children look up words on Kindle, they are automatically added to the vocabulary builder on their device. With Vocabulary Builder you can use Flashcards to learn the definitions and use of words.
Customize to your language: Kindle can be used in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Dutch, and Simplified Chinese.
