Type in the book that you would like to purchase, and like the Amazon app or desktop version, it pulls up the results. The Kindle Store itself is very easy to maneuver. Then, you simply tap it and it connects you to the Kindle Store for purchase. You can add a book to you “Reading List” and when you’re ready, it’s saved via Goodreads on your home screen. For instance, Goodreads is a separate app (also owned by Amazon) that allows the user to see book reviews, average star ratings, and comments from others. What we really enjoyed about the Paperwhite is how interconnected it is with other apps. Simply go to the Kindle Store or Goodreads, and from there, you can pick out a book that tickles your fancy. Lifewire / Claire Cohen Books: Plenty of optionsĭownloading a book onto the Paperwhite is very easy and user-friendly. You can certainly read graphic novels and manga on this device, but it’s not ideal for comics. Since most comics feature vivid colors, this detracts from the overall reading experience. While you can read them clearly, the comics will only appear in various shades of gray and the size of pages doesn’t always scale well. We also tested comic books on this device. All of these options make for a truly customizable experience that won’t hurt your eyes. Even reading by the pool won’t be difficult, as the Paperwhite handles glare well at all angles, and won’t prevent reading in direct sunlight. It also offers 24 brightness levels with its built-in LED lights, so you can read on a darkened airplane. All of these result in crisp, clear words across the page with no distortions. The Paperwhite sports 10 font styles-including one called OpenDyslexic, which is geared for those with dyslexia-and five different boldness settings. The Kindle Paperwhite has a six-inch screen with 300 pixels per inch (ppi) promising clear, crisp reading that won’t strain the eyes. In total, the Paperwhite took us about 10 minutes to set up before we could start surfing the Kindle Store for some good books. While crowded, this home interface makes it easy to differentiate between sections. They jut out a bit but that doesn’t affect device use-it merely detracts from a sleek design.ĭownloading a book onto the Paperwhite is very easy and user-friendly.Īt the end of setup, the Paperwhite provides tutorial screens, which show the consumer what everything is on the home interface and how to use it. The micro USB charging port and the power button located at the device’s bottom are the only plug-ins on the entire device. The plastic bezel is raised up around the screen, giving it a slightly clunkier design, but making it less likely for you to accidentally touch the screen and flip a page without meaning to. This isn’t a big deal at first, but could become an issue when holding it up for prolonged periods. It’s a bit on the heavier side, weighing in at 7.2 ounces. The most budget-friendly of options, this 7th generation e-reader provides all of the basic features of a Kindle, like a small design, the signature Kindle Store, without forcing consumers to lighten their wallets.ĭesign: A little clunky, but sleek overallĪt 6.7 inches by 4.6 inches by 0.36 inches (HWD), the Kindle Paperwhite is small enough to slip into a purse.

One e-reader staple, however, has remained tried and true: the Kindle Paperwhite. So if you've been looking to add a splash of color to your e-reading adventures, Amazon's got your back with some fresh gear.We purchased the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (7th Gen) so our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and assess it. While it would be nice to see Amazon launch these products with color options available from the jump, late is better than never. The same goes for the new Agave Green case, which will retail at the same price as the others at $35, which will surely wind up as one of the Paperwhite's best cases.Īll in all, it's not surprising to see Amazon launch some new colors, as the 4th generation Paperwhite offered four before it was replaced with the latest model. So the prices aren't changing if you're looking to pick up one of the two new colors, though there's a chance the colors sell quickly, so it's recommended to grab one while you can. The 16GB Paperwhite will still retail for $150, with the 32GB Signature Edition still retailing for $190. Amazon has created a new Agave Green case out of leather to go with the new Agave Green Kindle Paperwhite.
