I've dropped and even tossed my Kindle and the display barely has a scratch. While the Kindle has a glass-covered screen, it's not prone to breakage. And when there's no cell-or Internet service, I can pull out the Kindle, which doesn't need an Internet connection unless you're browsing for or downloading a book, and start reading. I usually carry mine everywhere in my backpack. It's also so slim – just 8.1mm – that the Kindle Paperwhite can fit in any bag, coat pocket, or even your back pocket.
Lightweight and portableįun fact: even though the Kindle Paperwhite is considerably larger than Apple's iPhone 14 Pro, it weighs a gram less (205g vs. You can read for hours without a single text message or alert, save the person next to you who gently nudges you out of your reading trance. There are no such interruptions on a Kindle Paperwhite. Spend five minutes reading on your iPhone, iPad, or Galaxy S22 and you will be interrupted at least a few times by a notification or even a pop-up on, say, the web page where you're trying to dig into that long read.
KINDLE BLACK FRIDAY HOW TO
There are numerous screen controls to improve and adjust your reading experience including reducing and enlarging font size with a pinch and zoom gesture (what's easier than that?), and a slider for raising and lowing the backlight.īasically, you can hand a Kindle Paperwhite to even the most tech-averse person and they'll figure out how to use it in no time.
