Product details

The new Kindle Paperwhite - Now with a 6.8-inch (17.3 cm) display and thinner bezel, adjustable color temperature, up to 10 weeks of battery life, and 20% faster page turns than the previous generation.
Featuring a front-flush design and a 300 ppi display with no mirroring for reading like real paper, even in bright sunlight. Store thousands of books and take them with you wherever you go. A single charge via USB-C lasts for weeks, not hours. Waterproof (IPX8), so you can read and relax at the beach, by the pool, or in the bathtub. Lab tests have confirmed that your Kindle can withstand accidental immersion in water. Hands-free, Bluetooth headphones or speakers make it easy to listen to your stories.

If you only want to read, you can be happy with a Kindle from the third Paperwhite generation onwards (equivalent to the seventh Kindle generation). The new Kindle is worthwhile above all for people who want to want to store, listen to and read a lot of audio books and e-books on one device.
