Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Review

Thanks to a sharp display and fast performance, Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite is the best ebook reader you can buy for the price.

The new Paperwhite uses a six-inch Carta E Ink HD touch screen, with a sharp 300 pixels per inch.

Though not quite as high-end as the Kindle Voyage, the Paperwhite still has a premium look and feel.

The 3G version of the new Paperwhite weighs 7.2 ounces and measures 6.7 by 4.6 by 0.4 inches (HWD).

As you can see, the new Paperwhite is very thin.

There is no headphone jack for audiobooks because audiobook support isn't available.

The power port is still on the bottom, alongside an LED charging indicator and the Power button.

The Paperwhite features a new typesetting engine and a new font, Bookerly.
