There's room for improvement in future models, but the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best, most complete version-feeling of the Kindle to date. It doesn't have every feature the series has ever offered, but it does offer everything that related to what Kindles are all about - reading.

Light is an ereader revelation; Excellent E-ink screen; Kindle infrastructure is great

Light throw slightly inconsistent; No speaker or headphone jack; A little heavy among its peers

Thanks to Amazon's unparalleled ebook library and ease of use, the Paperwhite is a fantastic ereader to own. The screen is excellent, both the light and touch elements, and the whole device is well built.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the latest version of the basic Kindle e-book reader from Amazon, and instead of the usual e-ink screen that most people have come to expect on similar devices, this one comes with a touch-enabled Paperwhite display.

During the last five years we have seen the e-Reader industry mature in a very short period of time. Since we started to review Readers back when the Kindle 2 first came out, we have seen the rise of Barnes and Noble, Kobo and many indie companies.

High Resolution; Expansive Ecosystem; Good Parental Controls; Handles PDF's Well; Home Screen is Upgraded from Prior Models; Best Demonstration of Glow Technology Found in e-Readers; Lots of International Support

Locks you Into the Amazon ecosystem; Does not read EPUB; Special Offers Costs $20.00 to Remove

The biggest issue with the Amazon Kindle and its E-Ink technology is that while it's fantastic for reading on the beach, in broad daylight, or lasting for what seems an eternity on a single charge, try to read it in bed and you'll struggle without some light. Not any more.

Light so you can read in the dark; Wi-Fi and 3G for downloading books; easy to use; touchscreen - so no buttons; big choice of books; great battery life

Locked-in to Kindle books

The new Paperwhite isn't a huge leap forward compared to Amazon's first model. But unlike the smartphone world where marginal updates are supplemented with features no one will actually use, the Paperwhite's incremental updates are actually useful.

Amazon continues to improve its e-ink screen and lighting features, which are nearly on par with an ecosystem that can't be beat; The Page Flip feature is a fantasy-book reader's wish come true with quick access to maps without losing your place

Still no ability to create multiple accounts for adults reading the same book

Look, it is pretty much a no-content when it comes to the e-book readers. Amazon won that debate, long back... Fair and square. Like the Apple iPod was THE mp3 player and Xerox made THE photocopier (no matter how hard the likes of Barnes and Noble, Kobo and Sony tried with their e-book readers) it...

Pages turn and refresh faster; Much improved display; Battery life remains amazing

Design hasn't been freshened up; No wall-charger in the box; still

The 2015 update to Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite takes a good thing and makes it better. If you're after an e-reader, the Paperwhite should be at the top of your list. The 2015 Paperwhite's big drawcard is a brand new screen, boasting a pixel density of 300 pixels per inch (ppi); if you want to get...

Fantastic screen; Good price; Clean design and solid battery life

Rear is a fingerprint magnet; Software can feel a little clunky; Bottom-facing power button is an odd choice

We take a look at Amazon's new higher-resolution, front-lit eReader. Here's our Kindle Paperwhite review

The Kindle Paperwhite takes a lot of what we love about the more expensive, high-end Kindle Oasis and brings the core features into a more affordable package. This is a must-have ereader if you're after a way to read ebooks but you don't want to spend over $200 or £200.

Waterproof design; Audiobook integration; A great reading experience;

Plastic design; Limited color options; Still uses microUSB
