Product details

The Kindle Paperwhite is characterized by its particularly slim, lightweight and at the same time modern design. The 300-ppi display comes without annoying mirror effects, while the text you read is print
quality. Thanks to the adjustable display light, you can read wherever you want: Indoors or outdoors, by day or by night - even in bright sunlight. At the same time, the battery charge lasts for weeks, not just a few hours, and quick charging with the included USB cable is also possible.Since the eBook reader is equipped with IPX8 water protection, you can safely take it to places like the beach by the pool or even into the bathtub - the protection ensures that the device can withstand accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes.

If you only want to read, you can be happy with a Kindle from the third Paperwhite generation onwards (equivalent to the seventh Kindle generation). The new Kindle is worthwhile above all for people who want to want to store, listen to and read a lot of audio books and e-books on one device.
