Brilliant Resolution
Our high resolution Paperwhite display renders exceptionally sharp, clear text and images.
Stunning Contrast
Kindle Paperwhite 3G's high contrast screen displays crisp, dark text against a brilliant white background, making for the perfect read. â¨
Innovative Built-in Light
Paperwhite guides light towards the display from above instead of projecting it out at your eyes like back-lit displays, thereby reducing screen fatigue. You can adjust your screen's brightness to create a perfect reading experience in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to bedtime reading.
Uncompromised Battery Life
A single charge lasts up to eight weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 10. Our breakthrough power management technology allows you to leave the light on at all times for the best possible contrast without sacrificing battery life.
Read in Bright Sunlight with No Glare
Kindle Paperwhite 3G has a matte screen that reflects light like ordinary paper so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room with no glare.
Read at Night
Kindle Paperwhite 3G's patented built-in light illuminates the screen, not the entire room, so you won't disturb your partner when you can't put your book down at night.
