Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
5.91", 8 GB, BlackProduct details
The Kindle Paperwhite is characterized by its particularly slim, lightweight and at the same time modern design. The 300-ppi display comes without annoying mirror effects, while the text you read is print quality. Thanks to the adjustable display light, you can read wherever you want: Indoors or outdoors, by day or by night - even in bright sunlight. At the same time, the battery charge lasts for weeks, not just a few hours, and quick charging with the included USB cable is also possible.Since the eBook reader is equipped with IPX8 water protection, you can safely take it to places like the beach by the pool or even into 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.

Those who do without comfort features save 90 euros compared to the Oasis 2019.
- Waterproof according to IPX8+
- Audio books via Bluetooth
- No Onleihe support
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...
- Good display
- Only test candidate with GSM module
- No Onleihe
- Compulsory registration
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...
- Very good workmanship
- water-protected
- Registration with Amazon mandatory
All six tested eBook readers offer solid features, are well-made and display texts crisply. In addition, all candidates score points with integrated lighting. Those who want to take care of as little as possible and can live with limitations in the book shop selection are best served with a Kindle from Amazon...
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.
- Simple operation
- Top processing
- Favourable price
- No SmartLight
- Account compulsion
- Only a few formats readable
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.
