Kindle Paperwhite remains the best choice for most readers thanks to its excellent price-performance ratio. It features a crisp 7-inch display with a 300 ppi resolution and adjustable warm backlighting, on which text appears sharp and perfectly rendered, almost like ink on paper. The fast processor ensures smooth page turns and more fluid navigation, even when reading large PDFs and illustrated novels. The battery life lasts up to 12 weeks. Its thin case with IPX8 water resistance and light weight make it convenient for travel and commuting. Kindle Paperwhite is available in both Wi-Fi and cellular versions.

Discontinued but still widely used model. It was the first PocketBook with eInk touchscreen. It has a 6" screen (E Ink Pearl, 166 dpi) with a resolution of 800x600 pixels and supports 16 grey gradations which allows the display of complex texts and illustrations. It has Send-to-Pocketbook, Dropbox and Pocketbook cloud. It works very well together with the Pocketbook reader app on Android tablet. It even has a dark mode with the last update.

2018. Kindle adds new search features
Amazon has rolled out a new firmware update for all Kindles released in the past five years. The in-book search now includes results from your notes and highlights and a clock is now displayed at the top of the screen while you’re reading. You can turn it off in the settings menu. Update 5.9.4 should be distributed to all Kindles in the next few days and will automatically install when the device is in sleep mode. You will likely see a restart the next time you use it, along with a notification window that informs you of the new updates.
