The Kindle Paperwhite is coming soon to the UK – for the first time, you can get a Kindle with a built-in light, allowing you to read at night or in other low-light situations. Unlike most Kindle reading lights, the light is nice and even to ensure an easy reading experience – and the whiter backing gives the Kindle 25% better contrast too.<\/p>\n

But an integrated light isn’t the only thing that’s been improved in the Paperwhite. The e-reader also includes a much higher resolution screen – 62% more pixels to be exact. That makes text much clearer and sharper, and it just looks better. Web browsing via the experimental browser should also be that much better.<\/p>\n

Even with an upgraded screen and the backlight on, the Paperwhite needs to be charged only rarely. Amazon are quoting battery life of 8 weeks – several orders of magnitude better than tablets like the iPad or Nexus 7.<\/p>\n

The Paperwhite has also seen upgrades to its software. There are new hand-tuned Kindle fonts with six different styles and eight different sizes, so you can find the font that fits you. There’s a Time To Read feature which will let you know when you’ll get to the end of the next chapter based on your reading speed.<\/p>\n

Of course, with a Kindle you get access to the massive Kindle library, including 650,000 books for \u00a33.99 or less and 200,000 Kindle exclusives. Amazon have long made their name as a book company, and they don’t disappoint here.<\/p>\n

The Paperwhite looks like the best Kindle e-reader ever – and that’s an impressive feat, given the series’ success.<\/p>\n

The Paperwhite is available in Wi-Fi and 3G variants, with models pre-ordered now shipping later this month. Of course, we’re ready with a range of Kindle Paperwhite accessories<\/a> and Kindle Paperwhite cases<\/a> and we’ll show you more of these in blog posts to come.<\/p>\n
