Product features
- Unsurpassed resolution
The Paperwhite display offers 62% more pixels, and renders exceptionally sharp, clear text and images. - Stunning contrast
Kindle Paperwhite 3G'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. - Read in bright sunlight with no glare
Kindle Paperwhite 3G has a matte screen that reflects light like ordinary paper so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room with no glare. - Read at night
With Kindle Paperwhite 3G, reading in bed just got better. The patented built-in light illuminates the screen, not the entire room, so you won't disturb your partner when you can't put your book down at night. - Designed for reading
Unlike a backlit tablet display, Kindle Paperwhite 3G 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
The 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 3G across a wide spectrum - from low light to full brightness - so you can read comfortably in any setting. - Power efficient
Because the patented technology enables fine-grain control over where the light is diffused, Kindle Paperwhite 3G uses low-power LEDs, requiring very little power to evenly illuminate the entire screen. - Thinner than a pencil
Kindle Paperwhite 3G features a slimmer design. At just over third of an inch, it is thinner than a pencil. - X-Ray
Exclusive on Kindle, explore the "Bones of the Book". With a single tap, see all the passages across a book that mentions ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places or topics of interest. - Adjustable text sizes
Design your own perfect reading experience by customizing the text size to suit your tastes and reading comfort. Choose from eight text sizes to prevent tired eyes and keep you reading longer. - Hand-tuned fonts
All six fonts on Kindle Paperwhite 3G have been hand-tuned at the pixel level for maximum readability and comfort. Higher resolution allows for unprecedented sharpness. - Bookmarks and annotations
Add your own notes to the text just like writing in the margins of a book. Edit, delete, and export your notes. - Notes and sharing
Share highlighted sections, notes, and meaningful quotes on Facebook and Twitter directly from Kindle Paperwhite 3G without leaving the page. See passages frequently highlighted by other Kindle readers to discover interesting and meaningful passages in your books. - Read with one hand
Lighter and thinner than a paperback, you can comfortably hold Kindle Paperwhite 3G in either hand for long reading sessions without fatigue or discomfort. - Fast, easy page turns
EasyReach tap zones on Kindle Paperwhite 3G's responsive touchscreen let you tap lightly to turn pages. No need to swipe or use two hands for fast, seamless page turns. - Organize your library
Organize your Kindle library into customized collections, or categories, to easily access any book you are looking for. You can add an item to multiple collections to make organizing and finding titles even easier. - Time to Read
Time to Read is a feature for Kindle Paperwhite 3G that helps you know how long it will take to finish a chapter or book. Time to Read is personalized based on your reading speed and is constantly updated as your speed and habits change. With Time to Read, it's never been easier to decide when to start a new chapter or finish the chapter you're reading. - Whispersync
The Whispersync technology synchronizes your last page location, bookmarks, and annotations across all your devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off reading. - Instant translations
Tap any word or highlight a section to instantly translate into other languages, including Spanish, Japanese, and more. - Carry and read personal documents
Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. E-mail documents - including Word, PDF and more - directly to your Kindle and read them in Kindle format. You can also send documents to Kindle Paperwhite 3G using Send to Kindle. - Supports children's books and comics
Kindle Paperwhite 3G supports children's books with Kindle Text Pop-Up, and comic books with Kindle Panel View which allows you to read a comic book panel by panel. - Beautiful design, perfect fit
It engineered to perfectly fit your device. The Kindle Paperwhite 3G cover features a premium textured leather exterior and a subtle woven nylon interior to provide the light and thin form of protection. The integrated magnetic clasp ensures your cover will remain securely closed while in a backpack, purse, or briefcase.
