It's sensitive enough that it hardly ever fails to register a prod, and makes typing search terms and book titles a speedy affair - something that's often frustrating on the cheaper button-controlled Kindle. If you use your Kindle on public transport and often change buses or trains, also be aware that you may accidentally skip ahead loads of pages as you walk with it gripped in your hand.Ī few quibbles then, but the touchscreen itself is hard to fault. For the most part, this works just as well as the physical buttons that straddle the less fancy £69 Kindle, but there are some drawbacks.įor example, the area of the page you tap to turn back one page is quite slim, and I've occasionally found myself skipping forwards a page when I meant to move backwards. The Paperwhite is controlled entirely by touchscreen and sees you turning virtual pages by tapping either on the left or the right of the display. In a comparison I'd say Amazon's light offers more even lighting than Barnes and Noble's option, but the Kobo has a great switch-activated light and is well worth bearing in mind, especially if you're trying to save your pennies. That's not to criticise - text still looks very sharp and is easy to read, but don't expect a revolutionary reading experience, as this Kindle's on-screen text looks very similar to that of its predecessor.Īmazon isn't the only company flogging a glowing ebook reader - there's also the £109 Barnes and Noble Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, or the £100 Kobo Glo, available from WH Smiths.
