Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite was released on October 1, 2012 in the United States. It has a 6", 212 ppi display (an almost-XGA resolution of 758×1024) with built-in light that is adjustable with an on-screen menu, and has 2GB of storage. It is available in Wi-Fi ($119 ad-supported, $139 no ads) and Wi-Fi + 3G ($179 ad-supported, $199 no ads) models, with the ad supported options only available in the United States. The light is one of the main features of the Paperwhite, however the light level must be adjusted manually.



The 3G access restrictions are the same as the Kindle Touch and usage of the 3G data is limited to 50 MB per month, additional data can be purchased. Battery life is advertised at up to 8 weeks of reading with half an hour per day with wireless off and constant light usage; this usage equals 28 hours. This model was the first Kindle to track your reading speed to let you know when you will finish a chapter or book; this feature was later provided to the Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire HD models.
