A few amazing features!
No Glare in Bright Sunlight
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the latest Kindle Paperwhite reads like paper¿no annoying glare, even in bright sunlight.
Won't Tire Your Eyes in the Dark
Paperwhite guides light toward the surface of the display with its next-gen front light¿unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes¿so you can read comfortably without eyestrain. Adjust your screen's brightness for great reading in any light.
Charge Monthly, Not Daily
Kindle Paperwhite won't leave you tethered to an outlet. A single charge can last up to eight weeks (based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at ten), unlike tablets that need to be charged each night.

No Distractions
Kindle Paperwhite is purposely designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions like email alerts.
