SYDNEY: Digi-readers have all new treat for them in the form of Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2015). This time Amazon has upgraded its Kindle Paperwhite front-lit reader with a higher resolution 300ppi display, new typography and layout features with a doubled RAM.
The best thing is that it hasn’t increased the price i.e. 10,999.
Look and feel
Kindle Paperwhite (2015) looks very same like its predecessor. The device is more or less a light weight rectangular slab with a 6-inch display.
What you will get is a micro-USB port, an LED indicator (for charging) and a physical Power button at the bottom edge.
What gives a good feel is that there are no other ports or buttons on the device. The back of the Kindle Paperwhite sports a soft-touch matte finish.
The gripful surface hold and the surface offer a good grip. At just 205 grams (the 3G version is 217grams); it’s easy to hold the device for a longer period of time.
Display
The Kindle Paperwhite (2013) comes with a 6-inch 300ppi (the 2013 Paperwhite had a 212ppi display) display with Carta e-paper technology.
The display what makes these phone readers friendly, the glare free screens makes it under sun light.
Unlike tablets, the Kindle Paperwhite’s display is front-lit. As per Amazon, new Paperwhite features an improved front light. We felt that the lighting was uniform across the display.
The touch panel to be very responsive though the implementation of touch in the user interface remains quite limited compared to tablets.
In a gist the Kindle Paperwhite’s display is impressive and the display resolution is now at par with the top-end Kindle Voyage.
