Product details

Our thinnest and lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet, featuring a sleek, modern design, allows you to read comfortably for hours. It boasts a 300-ppi display with no glare, print-quality text, and double the storage compared to the previous model. Plus, a single charge lasts for weeks, not just a few hours.

With the new waterproof Kindle Paperwhite, you can read and relax in even more places, such as at the beach, by the pool, or in the bathtub. The Paperwhite is IPX8 certified, protecting it against accidental immersion in up to two meters of freshwater for up to 60 minutes.

Now with Audible - seamlessly switch between reading and listening with Bluetooth-enabled speakers or headphones. Continue your story while cooking, commuting, or flying. Make the most of Audible with a subscription and sign up for a free Audible trial. With 8 or 32 GB, the new Kindle Paperwhite offers more space for books and audiobooks than ever before.

Amazon Kindle with Special Offer

The Special Offer model displays sponsored screensavers and banner ads directly on the screen. The Special Offers are displayed as a screensaver when the Kindle eReader is in sleep mode. The Special Offer banners are also displayed at the bottom of the Home screen on the Kindle eReader.

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.
