Turn on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and you’ll wonder how you ever coped with yesterday’s ereaders. The light is cool and clear, the new fonts are much easier on the eye, and the reading features are simply seamless.

Thanks to Amazon's unparalleled ebook library and ease of use, the Paperwhite is a fantastic ereader to own. The screen is excellent, both the light and touch elements, and the whole device is well built. Kobo's Glo is a good alternative if you think you need more storage, as it has a micro SD card slot, and it's also £10 cheaper.

Minor issues aside, Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite is more aces than not. It has the same primary advantage of every Kindle and Amazon device: the largest selection of digital reading material anywhere.

Yes. Of course. Absolutely. Without question. We were pretty sure this was going to become our favorite e-reader when Amazon introduced it over the summer, and it definitely is after extensive use.
