The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The screen refreshes 25% faster than the previous model and has better contrast, so page turns feel snappier and text looks sharper.
- Battery lasts up to 12 weeks on a single charge, which means you can go months without thinking about plugging it in.
- It's waterproof, so you can read by the pool or in the bath without worrying about damage.
As of Aug 26, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB ( model) is overpriced at $199.99 — versus a $156.78 typical price and a $124.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
