Kindle, PaperWhite Reader 10th Generation

Electronic gizmo’s don’t interest me much, like my smartphone, I hate it. It does too much, it’s too complicated, and has features I’ll never use, however as a phone and texting is one of the greatest inventions.

I felt the same way about the Kindle Reader. I always wanted one but the early versions had many faults such as, can’t see the page in bright sunlight and no back-lighting so you can’t read in low light conditions.

Well the latest version, ‘The 10^th Generation PaperWhite’ has solved all those issues and more. So, I finally bought one and love it! Reading it is just like reading a printed paper book. As for battery life? It runs constantly for weeks between charges. It weighs just 6½ ounces and it’s thin, only ¼ inch thick. The outside dimensions are 4½ x 6½ with a 6-inch diagonal display. The font is selectable to suit your preference including the font size. The best thing I like about the kindle is the feature that lets you choose “Text to Speech” which means you can listen to the book!!! (requires BlueTooth headphones or buds) Now that is a cool feature!

If you purchase one be aware that if you buy one, buy one “Without Special Offers Included”. If you don’t, then you will see in the bottom ½ inch or so, product ad’s displayed. You can, like I did, buy the Kindle “Without Special Offers” for $20.00 extra and never be harassed by endless ads!

My thoughts about saving ‘how-to’ books on the Kindle:

Remember this is an electronic device that needs WiFi to operate and therefore can be corrupted and rendered useless by events/people out of your control. All books stored in the Kindle Library could be lost. A safe way around this is to download the Kindle reference book you like and read it. If it is of interest to you then buy the hard copy book and save it in your ‘home’ hard copy reference library so you can access the important information.

Shown here is the actual Kindle with a book page opened. This is what the ‘PaperWhite’ screen is like. It is the same in total darkness because the screen is always back-lit.

Here is the front of the box.
