Unsurpassed Resolution
Our Paperwhite display offers 62% more pixels, and renders exceptionally sharp, clear text and images.
Stunning Contrast
Kindle Paperwhite's screen has 25% higher contrast. Crisp, dark text against a brilliant white background makes for the perfect read.Innovative Built-in Light
Paperwhite guides light towards
the display from above instead of projecting it out at your eyes like
back-lit displays, thereby reducing screen fatigue. You can adjust your
screen's brightness to create a perfect reading experience in all
lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to bedtime reading.
Uncompromised Battery Life
A single charge
lasts up to eight weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day with
wireless off and the light setting at 10. Our breakthrough power
management technology allows you to leave the light on at all times for
the best possible contrast without sacrificing battery life.
Designed for Reading
Unlike a backlit tablet display,
Kindle Paperwhite guides light towards the surface of the e-ink display
from above so that the light never shines directly towards your eyes,
allowing you to read comfortably without eye strain.
Perfectly Balanced Whiteness
We worked on Kindle Paperwhite for
over two years to perfect the uniformity of the built-in light,
flattening out a fiber optic cable into a sheet, and nanoimprinting to
ensure perfectly even distribution of light. Our design uses nanoscale
optical diffractive patterns to enable tight control over the direction
of the light. Enjoy reading with exceptional lighting uniformity and
evenly balanced whiteness across the entire display.
Adjustable Brightness
Your eyes adapt to the amount of
light around you, so you'll prefer dimmer light when reading in a dark
setting and brighter light when reading in well-lit surroundings. You
can adjust the brightness of Kindle Paperwhite across a wide spectrum -
from low light to full brightness - so you can read comfortably in any
setting.
Power Efficient
Because our patented technology
enables fine-grain control over where the light is diffused, Kindle
Paperwhite uses low-power LEDs, requiring very little power to evenly
illuminate the entire screen.
