The Kindle Paperwhite Hits Just the Right Spot for Avid Readers on the Go

TL;DR: The Kindle Paperwhite is synonymous with e-readers. Rightly so, due to its 'master of one' functionality, which lets you glide across thousands of pages like you're reading a physical book. It's lightweight, portable, and water-resistant, allowing you to take your readings wherever you go.

If you're an avid reader, you can probably understand the struggle of lugging around your current read. You spend a lot of time worrying about its delicate pages, or whether you've really tightened the cap of your water bottle that shares the same space as your precious book.

But e-readers solve that problem thanks to their practical tablet-like design. And there's no e-reader more ubiquitous than the Kindle Paperwhite, which you can get on Amazon Singapore for S$248.24 (US$184.13).

Boasting a 6.8-inch display and thin bezels, the Kindle Paperwhite is perfectly suited for the on-the-go reader, especially when you consider the fact that it has a whopping 10-week battery life (with one single charge). Designed to feel like actual paper, the display is completely flush with its borders, offering 330 pixels per-inch for clear visibility, even in bright sunlight.

If you find yourself in darker conditions, you can even adjust the screen temperature based on your surroundings. For example, when outdoors in bright sunlight, the Kindle Paperwhite's display will look more white. When in dimly-lit conditions, this can be adjusted to a more amber shade, making it a lot easier on the eyes.

Where a lot of e-readers fail is the outdoors, namely situations that involve water. But the Kindle Paperwhite isn't afraid of getting a little wet, thanks to its IPX8 water-resistant design. It can definitely take a splash or two. So, whether you're reading a book at the beach, or enjoying a nice, relaxing night in the bath tub, you're good to go.

The Kindle Paperwhite comes with a base storage of 8GB, which is more than enough to hold thousands of ebooks, as well as multiple audio books.
