Amazon Kindle Review

Why The Kindle 5 Is The Best E-Reader

We can answer that question pretty much straight away, the Amazon Kindle is far and away the best e-reader on the market still.

The are several reasons why this is the case:

– Firstly, the features, it is probably more feature packed than any other equivalent e-reader (which I will go into more in the next section).

– Secondly, the price, even when you just consider it on price alone it wins it is by far the best cheap e-ink reader out there. The standard price is $69, which is incredibly cheap for such a feature packed e-reader and occasionally there is a Kindle special discount where you can get it for even cheaper.

Best Kindle Deal 2018:
Paperwhite 300 psi is under $80 today only!

There’s no question that eReaders are a popular way to enjoy your favorite stories, but there is some debate as to which one to use: the Kindle Paperwhite vs Kindle 2016.  The All-New Kindle Paperwhite is the latest eReader technology from Kindle and has new features that we’ve never seen before, making many wonder if it’s the better choice. And our review of the 2 will help you answer that question once and for all.

Compare Amazon Kindle versus Kindle Paperwhite - which one is better

When it comes to the Kindle vs. the Kindle White there are key differences to look at to better understand which is right for you. The main area to consider is the screen. The Paperwhite features a new white screen that looks just like the surface of a book. This type of screen makes sure that there is no glare from sunlight when you’re trying to read. The Kindle Basic 2014 is similar, allowing for easy reading, but it’s not as natural or easy on the eye as the Paperwhite, which was updated solely for that reason. Both the Kindle and the Paperwhite have individual features that make them quality products, but there are many more differences between the two, as you’ll soon see.

Both Kindles’ navigation takes place onscreen.

Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite Head-to-Head Comparison Table

Screen

The Kindle 6 is not as good as the Paperwhite at blocking glare from sunlight or other bright lighting but still does an effective job. The Kindle has the appearance of a book and dark fonts that makes reading better than traditional books. However, reading is easier with the Kindle Paperwhite, which has been improved to look exactly like a white sheet of paper, resulting in no glare at all.

It also has a built-in light with a 300 dpi high-resolution screen that allows you to read without straining your eyes, and will adjust automatically to the amount of light in the room. So if you go somewhere with poor lighting it will automatically increase and if you’re somewhere bright, like the beach, it will dim accordingly.

Both are 6″ screens but the Kindle 6 lacks the light feature which is a must-have for night readers.

Check out Kindle Paperwhite High Resolution Display with Special Offer for $20 OFF. The Extra Backlight is worthy.

Navigation

The Kindle 6 and Paperwhite both are touch-screen based navigation. Many reviewers have claimed to like the Paperwhite’s touch controls better, which are set up on screen with touch gestures.
