Hat eine sehr gute Akkulaufzeit. Funktioniert gut mit dem Amazon-Shop. Auch Audible-Hörbücher lassen sich über Bluetooth abspielen. Das in anderen Shops und Bibliotheken verbreitete EpubFormat unterstützt er nicht. Sehr robustes Gerät.

Wer ohnehin schon Amazon-Kunde ist und sich nicht mit der Auswahl von Buchshops befassen möchte, greift zum Kindle Paperwhite. Buchkauf, Synchronisation – alles läuft hier automatisch über die Amazon-Cloud. Auch die Ausstattung des Readers mit 6,8-Zoll-Display, 8 Gigabyte Speicher und wasserfestem Gehäuse stimmt.
