Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review . Best sure to read our best Kindle article to get a full update on what Amazon ereaders you can buy now. Amazon's most popular ereader, the Kindle Paperwhite, has evolved yet again with the 2. The pixel boost puts its resolution on a par with the Kindle Voyage, which is still the flagship Kindle despite not having been updated this year. But with a starting price of . That's up from 2. Text is sharper, making it less of a strain to read, which if you tend to spend hours getting engulfed in a good book is a very important factor. It also means it's more comfortable to read tiny fonts if your eyes are up to it, making it feasible to fit more words on each page. Amazon even goes so far as to call it print- quality, which I can just about believe.

It's more obvious in some titles than other (and to some readers than others), but previous Kindles have been known to lay out words, paragraphs and even whole pages in an awkward manner. It's often as simple as slightly awkward spacing between letters and words, leading to too much white space, or words and paragraphs being broken up poorly.
