Big Screen Benefits
Its safe to say that Im obsessed with e-readers.
I ownedthe Rocket eBook, one of the first e-readers, back in 1999.
It was a surprisingly capable reader for its day, but the screen was hard on the eyes.
Amazon
Since then, Ive owned nearly every model of Kindle.
Im currently using the lowest-endKindle model, which I prefer to the more expensive Kindle Oasis.
The Oasis has a slippery metal frame that is hard to hold.
The warm glow feature of the new Paperwhite is straight out of the Oasis playbook.
Another upgrade to the Paperwhite is the screen size.
The 6.8-inch screen of the Paperwhite is nearly the same size as the one on the pricier Kindle Oasis.
The new screen also has 10% more brightness at the highest setting than the previous Kindle.
Speed Demon
The greater speed of the new Kindle is another welcome addition.
Amazon claims the new Paperwhite will have 20% faster page turns than the previous model.
Improved battery life and charging are also things Im looking forward to on the new Paperwhite model.
The Paperwhite Signature edition costs $189.99.
For a premium reading experience, it seems like a bargain.
I cant wait to try it out.
