Product details

The Kindle Paperwhite features a particularly slim, lightweight, and modern design. Its 300-ppi display eliminates annoying glare, while the text you read has print quality. Thanks to the adjustable display light, you can read anywhere you want: indoors or outdoors, day or night—even in bright sunlight. The battery lasts for weeks, not just a few hours; a quick charge with the included USB cable is also possible. With its IPX8 water protection, the eBook reader can be safely used in places like the beach, by the pool, or even in the bathtub—the protection ensures that the device can withstand accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. Experience a vast selection of exciting stories and exclusive titles with the Kindle Paperwhite that you won't find anywhere else. To enhance your reading enjoyment, you can personalize the font size and style to maximize readability. And if you ever want a break from reading and prefer to listen to an audiobook, you can easily switch to Bluetooth headphones or speakers thanks to Bluetooth connectivity.

  • 300 ppi display with no glare
  • Suitable for reading at the beach, by the pool, or in the bathtub thanks to IPX8 water protection

The casing of the Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof, at least for a few minutes. The 6-inch screen offers a very good 300-ppi resolution, can display 16 greyscales, is anti-reflective and has an illumination with adjustable brightness. The device does not have scroll buttons; operation is exclusively via the touch-sensitive screen...

A narrow double victory for Pocketbook: In both the 6-inch and the 7-inch class, the devices from Switzerland took the test victory by a razor-thin margin. In the low-priced readers, Amazon's Kindle Basic and the Tolino Page 2 were tied. The slightly lower price ultimately helped the Amazon device to win the price-performance category...

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.

The third one reads better: The winner of the eBook reader comparison comes from Pocketbook. Only very close behind are the top dogs from Tolino and Amazon. But no matter which model the buyer chooses: He always buys a good device.
