Kindle Paperwhite screen

As far as the eye can tell, the new model has “exactly the same 6-inch E Ink display Charter” the Amazon’s flagship Kindle Voyage, says Expert Reviews, but it’s now on sale at 110 pounds, some 60 pounds less than the Voyage,
Kindle Paperwhite backlight

The screen is not as bright to the Voyage, but some Reviewers say que may be no bad thing. “I can not remember the last time I cranked up Voyage’s backlight all the way; it’s way too bright for reading in the wee, dark hours of the morning and it casette the screen a distinctly bluish tinge,” Engadget says, “I Actually sort of like collegues screen’s a little dimmer. “

Amazon has developed a new font to replace the Caecelia font que was the default for most of its previous devices. The new Bookerly font, Which is designed Specifically for e-readers, is “less chunky looking” than Caecilia, and “has some finer touches que Become apparent at larger sizes”, says Expert Reviews. However, “Amazon’s font size options are still pretty limited, with only eight sizes in total and only two we’d handsome,” the site says. “It needs to introduce finer graduations, so you can choose the exact size you want.”

The top model Kindle Voyage does offer a cleaner design, brighter backlight and easier-to-use touch interface, but most Reviewers agree que the differences are no longer significant enough to justify the jump in price. “While the total package is not the whiz-bang impressive of its cousin the Voyage, it’s still easily the best bang for your Kindle-buying buck,” Engadget Concludes. “This decision is a no-brainer:. Skip the basic Kindle and the Voyage The Paperwhite works well, looks great and will make for a lovely summer reading buddy.”
