Avis sur le produitAmazon Kindle Paperwhite 6th Generation 4GB Wi-Fi 6 inch E-reader - Black

Great for reading books in any lighting on, what appears to be, paper.

Before buying the Paperwhite I owned a Sony ereader and loved it, liking the functions and being able to buy books from sellers other than Amazon. I like reading in bed and had a little light over my Sony ereader so as not to disturb the other half. It did work well but I forgot to take the light on holiday with us. Very frustrating. I took my ipad, great for games etc. but I prefer the compact ereader for reading. After forgetting the light and talking to my sister, who has a Kindle, I decided to do some research into a ereader with a built in light. After reviewing the opposition I opted for a Paperwhite. I believe the Kobo Glow is better for newspapers and other publications but that is not my priority and so opted for the Paperwhite which has a higher definition and a better distribution of light across the screen and is better for books than it's competitors. I swallowed my pride about the buying of books from only Amazon and risked having adverts displayed on the Paperwhite I chose to buy. I know some Paperwhites come with adverts and you have to pay Amazon to get rid of them. I was pleased that mine came without adverts.The brightness of the device can be altered and I have been reading in bright sunlight and also in the darkness of the bedroom. I have not noticed any shading on mine and it just works. The size of the font and the orientation can be changed, I like landscape. I miss the buttons on my Sony for changing pages but a tap on the screen changes the page quickly. The dictionary works well for checking obsure words. I have not explored storing books on the cloud yet or buying books via 3g. (My Sony had a storage card.)
P.S There is software out there which converts books bought from other sources to that used by KindleLire l'avis complet...

Simplicity at its best

It does its job, and does it properly. It's not complicated, doesn't distract you and I love that I can immediately check the dictionary. Love reading ebooks from this Kindle Paperwhite - no shiny screen, easy to use, portable - I actually read much, much more than I used to thanks to this Kindle.Lire l'avis complet...

Superior as e-ink, some features feel deliberately crippled

Pros:

+ great display, pleasant to read
+ battery life
+ dictionaries
+ background light
- mostly DRM-poisoned online content

Cons:

- forced "screensaver" somewhat ruins the e-ink experience, especially for using Kindle for food recipes or music scores
- pdfs require pageturn by swiping (otherwise follows links) = user needs to know format for best UX
- forced account creation at first start
- AFAIK no zoom (for diagrams in pdfs)Lire l'avis complet...

Works spot on, was actually purchased as a gift but didn't make it as its handier than my scribe (which has been rushed onto production) may have to buy another "gift"

Bargain

Physically, the two I purchased look new, and operate with no problems. Since I do not want to purchase books, and I already have a large amount, I don't need to register. Thanks for the bargain.

Good

Only the screen backlight is still on whe I put it zero, but I can live with this issue.

Excellent for reading.

The device has it purpose and serves it well. That is READING. Reading experience is great. Text quality and lightning are great. The only improvement I see is easier navigation, that is, you can simply "jump" through a physical book reading the most important parts. Kindle fails here (though it's great for 'linear' reading).Lire l'avis complet...

Best E reader on the market

I like the ease of operating it and I find the writing very clear and the E ink system is not tiring on the eyes like a computer screen and as the light intensity is adjustable it is ideal for reading
I felt that it should have had more written instructions but that seems to be the trend these days in my opinion this is the best e reader going as I looked at all the other available ones before making my choice.Lire l'avis complet...
