Kindle is the world’s #1 best-selling e-reader for five years running,
and tens of millions of readers are already reading on Kindle. Today, Amazon is
excited to introduce the fifth generation Kindle ereaders:
Kindle Paperwhite is the most advanced e-reader ever constructed with
62% more
pixels and 25% increased contrast, a patented built-in front light for
reading in all lighting conditions, up to 8 weeks of battery life, and a thin
and light design for just $119; Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi + 3G — never pay for or
hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot with the all-new top-ofthe-line Kindle e-reader with
free 3G wireless for just $179; and the new latest generation Kindle, the
lightest and smallest Kindle, now with new, improved fonts, faster page turns and
an even more unbelievable price: $69. Meet the all-new Kindle e-reader family
at www.amazon.com/kindlepaperwhite.
“Paperwhite is the Kindle we’ve always wanted to build — the technology
didn’t exist to build a display with this level of contrast, resolution,
brightness and battery life, so our engineers invented it,” said Jeff Bezos,
Amazon.com Founder and CEO. “62% more pixels, 25% higher contrast, built-in
front light, perfect for bed, perfect for beach, even thinner, 8 weeks of
battery life — this is a quantum leap forward and the best Kindle we’ve ever
built by far.”
All-New Kindle Paperwhite — The World’s Most Advanced E-Reader
Most Advanced E-Reader Display, 62% More Pixels, 25% More Contrast
Kindle Paperwhite’s display is the most advanced e-reader display ever
constructed.
Featuring a 212 ppi display, Kindle Paperwhite has 62% more pixels,
making text in books and periodicals crisp and clear
at any size. Images are sharper, richer and show even more detail. Kindle
Paperwhite’s screen has 25% higher contrast — the blacks are blacker, and the
whites are whiter.
Innovative Built-In Light
Backlit LCD displays direct
light up through the display into the user’s eyes. Kindle Paperwhite’s patented
front-lit display guides light underneath an anti-glare layer and down toward
the display, away from the reader’s eyes. This means a reader can read for
hours without eye fatigue or strain. The screen brightness is easily adjusted
for reading in any light. The Paperwhite display provides an unparalleled
experience in the dark and in direct sunlight.
Breakthrough Battery Life
Kindle Paperwhite’s built-in
front light is designed to be used at all times — both in daylight and in a
dark room — for the clearest, crispest reading experience.
In order to use the light at all times, Kindle
Paperwhite requires exceptional power management to maintain the battery life
that customers love about Kindle.
Amazon’s light
guide technology precisely diffuses the light across the screen and only
requires four LEDs to light the entire screen (unlike LCD screens which can use
up to 50 LEDs). The light guide is so efficient that Kindle Paperwhite has a
remarkable 8 weeks of battery life, even with the light on at all times.
Free 3G Kindle’s free 3G
connection means customers never have to hunt for or pay for a Wi-Fi hotspot —
they simply download and read books anytime, anywhere in over 100 countries around
the world. Amazon pays for the 3G connection on Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi + 3G,
so customers pay no monthly fees and sign no annual contracts.
Built-In Wi-Fi
Kindle Paperwhite comes with
built-in Wi-Fi, letting readers discover new content at home or on the road.
Kindle owners also enjoy free Wi-Fi access at AT&T hotspots across the US.
New Touch Technology
Kindle Paperwhite’s new
capacitive touch technology is uniquely integrated into the Paperwhite display,
allowing for a thinner form factor for Kindle Paperwhite and even better touch
accuracy.
Slim and Sleek Design
At just over a third of an
inch thin and weighing 7.5 ounces, Kindle Paperwhite is thinner than a magazine
and weighs less than a typical paperback. The bezel height between the side of
the device and the display itself is 77% thinner.
Hand-Tuned Fonts
Every font on Kindle
Paperwhite is hand-tuned for maximum readability. The Amazon typography team
worked at the pixel level to ensure consistency of stroke thickness and shape
profiles across all individual glyphs, aligning each size to the specific grid
of the new Paperwhite display. This allows for unprecedented sharpness of
fonts. Kindle Paperwhite’s higher resolution display also allows for new
elegant typeface options, such as Baskerville and Palatino, which use thin
stems that would not render well on any lower resolution display.
Time to Read
Time to Read is a new feature
for Kindle Paperwhite that helps readers know the amount of time it will take
them to finish a chapter or a book. This feature is smart — it personalizes the
time for each customer based on their reading speed and is constantly updated
as the reader’s speed and habits change. With Time to Read, it’s never been
easier to decide when to start a new chapter or finish the chapter you’re
reading.
Explore the “Bones of a Book”
with X-Ray
With a single tap, readers can
see all passages across a book that mention ideas, fictional characters,
historical figures, places or topics that interest them, as well as more
detailed descriptions from Wikipedia and Shelfari, Amazon’s community-powered
encyclopedia for book lovers. Amazon built X-Ray using its expertise in
language processing and machine learning, access to significant storage and
computing resources with Amazon S3 and EC2,
and a deep library of book and
character information.
Whispersync for Voice
All Kindles use Amazon’s
popular Whispersync technology to automatically synchronize a customer’s Kindle
library, including last page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights, across the
widest range of devices and platforms. Now, Amazon is extending Whispersync to
professionally narrated audiobooks — customers can start reading a book on
their Kindle, and seamlessly switch to listening to their corresponding
Whispersync for Voiceenabled audiobook from Audible on their phone or tablet,
picking up exactly where they left
off.
With Whispersync for Voice, customers can continue enjoying books during
commutes
or any other time their eyes are busy. Whispersync for Voice is a
solution for the millions of Amazon customers who want to spend more time with
their favorite books. Customers can listen to their Audible audiobooks on
Kindle Fire, iPhone, Android phones and Windows Phones.
Beautiful Leather Covers with Auto Wake and Sleep
Covers for Kindle Paperwhite feature a premium textured leather exterior
and a subtle
woven nylon interior to provide the lightest and thinnest form of
protection. The integrated magnetic clasp ensures the cover remains securely
closed while in a backpack, purse, or briefcase. The cover automatically wakes
Kindle Paperwhite upon opening and puts it to sleep when closed, making it easy
to dive right back into the book.
Latest Generation Kindle — Small, Light and Now Even Faster — only $69
Introducing the new, latest generation Kindle — the smallest, lightest
and most affordable
Kindle ever is now even better, with new improved fonts, 15% faster page
turns and a new, unbelievably low price: just $69. In addition, the new Kindle
now supports children’s books and comics, and includes new parental controls.
Weighing just 5.98 ounces, Kindle is small and light enough to fit easily in a
pocket and take everywhere, and still features the same 6-inch electronic ink
display that reads like real paper. At just $69, the new Kindle is the perfect
entry Kindle for young and adult readers alike.

that have made
Kindle the #1 best-selling e-reader in the world for five years running:
