About the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a waterproof e-reader with a thin, light body and a high-contrast, glare-free 7 inch display with edge-to-edge color and adjustable warm light. The display only uses power when you turn the page or use the front light, so a single charge lasts up to 12 weeks. The back panel opens for a quick battery swap, and there are no notifications, emails or social media to pull you out of the story. It is a good gift for book lovers who read by the pool, in the tub or in bed.
