Product details

Pack lighter, travel further. Our thinnest, lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet, with a sleek, modern design so you can read comfortably for hours. Features our signature 300 ppi, glare-free Paperwhite display, printed-quality text, and twice the storage of the previous generation. Plus, a single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours.

Make a splash. With the all-new waterproof Kindle Paperwhite, you’re free to read and relax in more places, including the beach, pool, or bath. Paperwhite is IPX8 rated to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes.

Keep your story going. Now with Audible, Kindle Paperwhite lets you switch seamlessly between reading and listening via Bluetooth-enabled speakers or headphones. Keep your story going whether you’re cooking, commuting, or cleared for takeoff. Experience the best of Audible with membership. If you’re new to Audible, sign up for an Audible free trial. With 8 or 32 GB of storage, your all-new Kindle Paperwhite lets you store more books and audiobooks than ever before.

Goes beyond a book. Adjust the text size and enjoy sharp, dark fonts hand-tuned for maximum readability and to be easy on your eyes. Whispersync lets you seamlessly switch between reading and listening on your Kindle and Kindle app without losing your place.

Wi-Fi. A Kindle e-reader with Wi-Fi is a great choice if you already have a high-speed Internet connection and wireless router set up in your home.

Make it personal. Designed by Amazon to fit your Kindle perfectly, these slim, form-fitting covers attach securely and fold back for one-handed reading. They automatically put your Kindle to sleep when closed and wake it upon opening, making it easy to get back to your story.

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.
