Product description – 2015 New Kindle Paperwhite, 6" High-Resolution Display (300 ppi)
The idea of carrying 1,000 books in your pocket isn't a fantasy, it's a reality.
The Kindle Paperwhite delivers a comprehensive reading experience without being too hard on the eyes. Featuring a built-in front light and one-of-a-kind Carta e-paper technology, you'll be able to read in broad daylight or the pitch-black dark without tiring your eyes.
Everything you'd want from an e-reader
The Paperwhite is packed with a set of rich features designed to redefine how you interact with books. Devoid of push alerts, email notifications or any other distractions the Paperwhite fits in the palm of your hand, displaying dense text that's comparable to what you'd find in a printed copy of your favourite novel.
The Page Flip tool allows you to skip ahead or go back to certain chapters and pages. Don't worry – this feature doesn't let you lose your place. If you're one to take notes while reading a manual or critiquing literature, the Paperwhite 2 allows you to do so with ease.
**More than you know what to ask for **
Ever come across a passage and want to share it with your friends? The
Paperwhite 2 allows you to highlight and copy stanzas to your Facebook, Twitter
and Goodreads accounts.
We've all come across certain words that we've never heard before. Instead of
putting your Paperwhite aside to look up a word in the dictionary, simply tap on
the word to view the definition, synonyms and other information. This word will
be added to Vocabulary Builder, which will allow you to retain its meaning via a
simple list or flashcards.
There are times when you want to enter a book with a solid foundation of knowledge. About This Book tells you what you need to know – who the author is, if it's part of a series and so on. X-Ray digs further, exposing you to key passages throughout a book with important characters, places, topics of interest and other details.
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 built-in
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.
Read comfortably with one hand
Thinner than a pencil, lighter than a paperback-and over 30% lighter than iPad
mini. Comfortably hold Kindle Paperwhite in one hand for long reading
sessions.
No distractions
Kindle Paperwhite is purposely designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your
love of reading without interruptions like email alerts.
Sharp, dark text
Enjoy text that reads like the printed page. All fonts have been hand-tuned at
the pixel level for maximum readability and comfort.
Take and share notes
Add margin notes that you can edit, delete, or even export from your device to
your computer. Share highlighted sections and meaningful quotes on Facebook,
Twitter, and Goodreads, and see passages frequently highlighted by other Kindle
readers.
Flip through without losing your place
With Page Flip, you can skim page-by-page, scan by chapter, or skip to the end
for a sneak peek without losing your place.
Lowest prices, Unmatched selection
Millions of books, newspapers, and magazines, including the latest best sellers,
Kindle Singles, and more. Over 400,000 Kindle exclusive titles that you won't
be able to find anywhere else, including books by best-selling authors such as
Kurt Vonnegut, Ian Fleming, Oliver Ptzsch, and Clive Barker. Kindle Paperwhite
makes it easy to discover new titles with recommendations personalized just for
you. The Kindle Store uses the same personalized customer experience you're used
to across Amazon.com, matching our best recommendations to your personal reading
habits.
