Amazon's eReader "Kindle Paperwhite" is a great evolution of its older version. Coming in with 300 PPI and $120 price tag, the Paperwhite is clearly one of the better if not best eReaders on the market. In fact, "Amazon Paperwhite 2015" is slightly similar to Amazon's flagship which is the "Kindle Voyage". However, the Paperwhite is far more affordable than the Voyage. The Voyage can go as far as $289 for its 3G and no ads version. The "All New Kindle Paperwhite" is just at $139 for no ads, and at $209 for 3G and no ads.
"All New Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2015" Specs
The new version of the Paperwhite has improved a lot. It went from 212 PPI to 300 PPI. The texts are sharper and the whole thing makes reading an eReader a less straining task to do.
Furthermore with the Kindle Paperwhite's specifications, it measures 169 x 117 x 9.1 mm. There is no card slot, but its internal storage is enough for thousands of eBooks. But if you still fear taking up all the memory, do keep in mind that there is still the cloud storage for your Amazon purchased books.
Furthermore, using the "Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2015" is a stress-less thing to do. There is a menu bar on the screen that easily lets you do whatever you wanna do with at the moment. You can change the brightness setting, do a search within your eBook, change the font size, change the margins, alter the line spacing, or jump to another chapter.
Also, the "Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2015" allows you to highlight a text to get its definition. You can also bookmark pages, put the screen in landscape view, or even enable the Word Wise function so you can prematurely see definitions of uncommon words without the need to do it manually. Above all these great improvements, the Paperwhite also enjoys the benefits brought about by the Kindle store, which is packed with millions of books for you to read, although, TechRadar advises that its easier to navigate the Kindle store on a PC instead of using the Paperwhite itself because the device has greyscale display and its touch screen isn't exactly a performer. Luckily, you can always send a book straight to your device even when you use your computer or another device in purchasing your books. Book prices aren't bad at all too, in fact you can get books at a $2 minimum and $8 maximum.
For the Paperwhite's battery life, the company claims weeks of power on a single charge. However keep in mind that the battery life can be less than expected if you use the device more often and on a brighter screen - not to mention the power draining effect of turning Wi Fi and 3G on.
Conclusions
The "Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2015" is generally a good option for an eReader. It isn't as complete as the "Kindle Voyage" but it isn't lacking any eReader necessity as well. It's got a touchscreen, really good display, backlight, and a huge library of eBooks. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2015 is absolutely one of the best eReader deals on the market.
