The Kindle Paperwhite is the newest model of dedicated e-readers from Amazon, the world’s largest online marketplace/bookstore. Now on its second edition (the 2nd generation of Paperwhites was just released on September 30, Amazon’s pride just got even better, and you won’t even doubt for a second why it is still the most popular e-reader. The Paperwhite feature of the screen is the factor that sets it as the standard among e-book reader models.
The new Paperwhite glows, thanks to its built-in backlight, which makes it possible for readers to enjoy their book even in low light. Moreover, this new generation of Paperwhites just got better with that backlight feature, as the backlight now goes through the entire parameter of the tablet, unlike the previous one that only has light emanating from the lower portion of the screen. So, if you have an iPad and accessories like the iPad charging station or apple Thunderbolt cable, and you are an avid reader, it is still very much advisable to get a Paperwhite, especially this generation.
Moreover, the Kindle Paperwhite still has its capacitive screen that makes you feel like you are actually flipping through paper used in expensive hardcover books. The tactile feel can make even the most jaded user feel like he or she is actually reading a book, albeit a very thin and light one.
The new Paperwhite sells for $119, with an option for a WiFi/3Gg model for an additional $21. If you are into reading more than anything else, even if you already have the most advanced tablet accessories like the iPad charging station, it is still wise to invest on a Kindle Paperwhite.
