I will revisit once I receive the physical product. For now I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Yes the NEW Kindle Paperwhite is the best thing since sliced bread. This is a replacement, the battery in my original wouldn't charge after some 16 months, John Lewis changed it with no quibble. This new Kindle is superb, it, and it's predecessors have been part of my life for about 12 years.

Crisp edge-lighting; Sharp new fonts.

3G version costs as much...

When I first bought the Kindle during my graduation years, I didn't eat for two days. I don't know why but looking at it would miraculously fill my stomach as I would hold it, feel it in my hands and eat it with my eyes –every part of it; that magical letters disappearing and reappearing to take...

Crisp text and images; Fast response with PDFs; Free 3G for life

Battery backup isn't that impressive; No Audio playback capability; Charger not included

If you are looking to pick up an e-book reader, then the Paperwhite makes sense. It has features otherwise reserved for its more expensive sibling like water resistance, 8GB storage and a 300ppi screen.

Good battery life; Crisp display; Smooth performance; Great device for voracious readers

No Audiobook capabilities in India; No bundled carrying case/sleeve to protect the display

Answering the Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight , Amazon's new Kindle Paperwhite features a backlit display that lets you read in the dark without disturbing those around you.

Bright backlight; Long battery life; Lightweight elegant design; Improved user interface; Parental controls

Uneven backlighting; Power adapter not included; 3G option expensive,

Several reviewers have said that the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best E-Ink reader on the market and I agree, with a few caveats. Not everyone wants the same things: some of you may prefer ePub for its greater openness (you can buy books from more sources), others of you may want a card slot or...

Excellent E-Ink display that's sharper with good frontlighting; Slim and light

No expansion slot; no hardware page turn buttons

Overall, a very impressive fielding from Amazon in the eReader department. Not only does the Kindle Paperwhite enjoy all the same content availability and support as the other Kindles, but it is the beneficiary of a sizable spec bump and a backlight that enables one of the best all-around eReader...

Going by the overall performance and ease of use, not to forget the quality of display, the Paperwhite is undoubtedly one of the best e-readers available in the market. It is available in two variants – you can opt for the Wi-Fi only model that will cost you Rs 10, 999 or the Wi-Fi + 3G model that...

Very good for reading. It has an internal light so it can look like paper, or it can look like an electronic tablet. The battery life is poor though. It runs out of battery even when turned off. It is touch-screen though, which I do like. I would reccomend it.
