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.
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
Amazon's new Paperwhite has been updated with a gloriously sharp screen, but the trade-off is reduced battery life compared with last year's model. It's still a great ereader and the crisp visuals make it ideal for comic book fans, but original owners have scant reason to upgrade.
