Product details

With 300ppi display with no mirror effects, print quality text and twice the memory compared to the previous model. In addition, a single battery charge lasts for weeks, not just a few hours.

Now with Audible - Switch easily between reading and listening via Bluetooth enabled speakers or headphones with Kindle Paperwhite. Continue your story while cooking, on the way to work or on the plane.
Make the most of Audible with a subscription - sign up for a free Audible trial. With 8 or 32 GB, the new Kindle Paperwhite offers more space for books and audiobooks than ever before.

Hat eine sehr gute Akkulaufzeit. Funktioniert gut mit dem Amazon-Shop. Auch Audible-Hörbücher lassen sich über Bluetooth abspielen. Das in anderen Shops und Bibliotheken verbreitete EpubFormat unterstützt er nicht. Sehr robustes Gerät.

Wer ohnehin schon Amazon-Kunde ist und sich nicht mit der Auswahl von Buchshops befassen möchte, greift zum Kindle Paperwhite. Buchkauf, Synchronisation – alles läuft hier automatisch über die Amazon-Cloud. Auch die Ausstattung des Readers mit 6,8-Zoll-Display, 8 Gigabyte Speicher und wasserfestem Gehäuse stimmt.
