Preorders for Amazon’s next generation Kindle Paperwhite began on Wednesday. The new edition has been upgraded with an e-ink display that’s sharper and rated at 300 pixels an inch. This display matches the company’s top-of-the-line Kindle Voyage tablet, which now puts the Paperwhite on par with the e-reader. The only difference between the two now is that the Kindle Voyage is able to adjust lighting automatically on each page due to a light sensor and a bezel page-turning control.
As for the Paperwhite, nothing has really changed when it comes to hardware. The e-reader has adjustable lighting, an estimated six week battery life, and a touchscreen interface. On the software side, Paperwhite users are now able to change fonts through Bookerly- which used to be available only for Kindle mobile app users and Kindle Fire tablet users.
Those interested in the new e-reader can expect Amazon to ship it on June 30th, which is only about two weeks away at this point. Prices for the e-reader begin at $119 for a Wi-Fi only model with advertisements to a $209 model that is 3G and ad-free. Would you purchase a Kindle tablet or would you stick with Apple’s iPad?
