Kindle Paperwhite's screen has 25% higher contrast. Crisp, dark text against a brilliant white background makes for the perfect read. Paperwhite guides light towards the display from above instead of projecting it out at your eyes like back-lit displays, thereby reducing screen fatigue. You can adjust your screen's brightness to create a perfect reading experience in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to bedtime reading.

Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Touch in our news:
2013. Amazon announced new faster Kindle Paperwhite
The second-generation Kindle Paperwhite will be priced the same as its predecessor — starting at $119 for the Wi-Fi version with ads — and features a higher-contrast screen, improved lighting and a quicker processor. It also includes several software enhancements that might eventually be available for older Kindles: Kindle PageFlip (allows readers to browse through a book without losing their place), Vocabulary Builder (enables users to test themselves on words they had to look up while reading) and Smart Lookup (provides comprehensive dictionary definitions along with additional reference information about a word, character, topic, or book through X-Ray and Wikipedia). The new Kindle Paperwhite is set to begin shipping on September 30.
