Kindle Paperwhite—World’s Most Advanced E-Reader— Available Starting Today at Gandhi Stores Reviews of Kindle Paperwhite are overwhelmingly positive and reinforce that Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader in the world:
Advanced E-Reader Display Kindle Paperwhite’s display features a 212 ppi display that makes text in books crisp and clear at any size. Images are sharp, rich and show great detail. Innovative Built-In Light Backlit LCD displays direct light up through the display into the user’s eyes. Kindle Paperwhite’s innovative front-lit display guides light underneath an anti-glare layer and down toward the display, away from the reader’s eyes. This means a reader can read for hours with less eye fatigue and strain. The screen brightness is easily adjusted for reading in any light. The Paperwhite display provides an incredible experience in the dark and in direct sunlight. Breakthrough Battery Life Kindle Paperwhite’s built-in front light is designed to be used at all times—both in daylight and in a dark room—for the clearest, crispest reading experience. In order to use the light at all times, Kindle Paperwhite sustains the battery life that customers love about Kindle. Amazon’s light guide technology precisely diffuses the light across the screen and only requires four LEDs to light the entire screen (unlike LCD screens which can use up to 50 LEDs). The light guide is so efficient that Kindle Paperwhite has a remarkable 8 weeks of battery life, even with the light on at all times. Free 3G
Kindle’s free 3G connection means customers never have to hunt for or
pay for a Wi-Fi hotspot—they simply download and read books anytime,
anywhere. Built-In Wi-Fi Kindle Paperwhite comes with built-in Wi-Fi, letting readers discover new content at home or on the road anywhere you can access Wi-Fi. Books in 60 Seconds Find a book and start reading in seconds with our fast, free wireless delivery. No computer required to download content. New Touch Technology Kindle Paperwhite’s new capacitive touch technology is uniquely integrated into the Paperwhite display, allowing for a thinner form factor for Kindle Paperwhite and even better touch accuracy. Slim and Sleek Design At just over a third of an inch thin and weighing 213 grams, Kindle Paperwhite is thinner than a magazine and weighs less than a typical paperback. Hand-Tuned Fonts
Every font on Kindle Paperwhite is hand-tuned for maximum readability.
The Time to Read Time to Read helps readers know the amount of time it will take them to finish a chapter or a book.
