Everything. The screen, the light technology, the build and the ecosystem are fantastic. That's all you need. This is the perfect ideal of what an ereader should be. And it's the easiest thing to use. The chintzy materials of previous Kindles have been re
This isn't a complaint about the Paperwhite per se, but I found myself missing the experience of holding and handling a physical book. The smell, the weight, being able to flip through pages on a whim. I don't think I'll ever completely ditch my book coll

Great front-lit displayExcellent contrastUseful new software
Less comfortable to hold than the NookStarting price includes adsNo expandable storage
Amazon's added some great new features to its popular Kindle line by focusing on what it does best: providing a great reading experience....
Best-in-class display and built-in lighting, Sturdy and sleek, Touch input, Competitive price, Experimental Web browser
No audio features or native ePub support, No AC adapter included, $119 "Special Offers" version mandates ads in the screensaver
The Kindle Paperwhite, with its built-in lighting, near-white background, and high resolution, is today's best Kindle—and the best monochrome e-reader, period. At $119 and $139, the Wi-Fi models justify stopping short of buying a $199 tablet. ...
Light weight, Screen is bright and crisp in any lighting situation (though you may have to play with the built in light's settings), No need for additional lights or covers for reading at night, Adding a smart cover gives you instant access to where you left of (no SO version), No more spooky dead author screensavers
Not fully available internationally
Ian: I’m extremely happy with my Paperwhite. They’re not yet available outside the US or European market yet and I’m so happy that Julie helped me to get hold of one. No the Kindle screen isn’t “paper white” all the time, it’s only achievable under sp...
Best-in-class display and built-in lighting, Sturdy and sleek, Touch input, Ubiquitous 3G access, Experimental Web browser
No audio features or native ePub support, No AC adapter included, Ad-free version is same price as top 7-inch tablets, Big cost premium for 3G version versus Wi-Fi-only
The Kindle Paperwhite, with its built-in lighting, near-white background, and high resolution, is today's best Kindle—and perhaps the best monochrome e-reader, period. But we're not convinced the extra $60 to $80 for the 3G version (versus the Wi-Fi only...

Perfect for people who read a lot of books, The screen lighting makes the Paperwhite the most versatile dedicated book reader, The form factor is sleek, Long battery life
The device is filled with ads and promos, You'll have to pay extra for a wall charger for the USB cable, If you are a regular computer and Internet user, a tablet can do more
Users who have never owned an e-reader and want to check out e-books will probably look at the Kindle Paperwhite as one of their options. The choices in e-readers are more varied now, and the answer to the question Which is best, a Kindle or a tablet? wil...
Overall what’s not to like here? You get an improved experience across the board with a better, crisper, clearer display, the option to read in any lighting situation, and all of this for only $119. While they’ve dropped the original Touch down to $79...
Abstract: Video Review: The Kindle Paperwhite could be the most advanced e-reader around with its patented built-in light, 62% more pixels for a higher resolution, an eight week battery life and room for over 1,000 books. Matt Mira and Rob Huebel test out the fe...
Bright, high contrast screen, Front light, Battery life (2-8 weeks), Improved touch interface, USB charging
DRM book selection, Non-compatible with other e-book stores, No expanded storage or microSD
For $120 — or $140 if you don't want the ads, which are mostly non-intrusive – the Kindle Paperwhite is a worthwhile investment for a book reader. If you're already into the Nook ecosystem, this probably isn't a reason to switch since the Nook Simple To...
