Some of the new features in the 6th generation Kindle Paperwhite are:

- New display technology with higher contrast-Kindle Paperwhite's display is the most advanced e-reader display ever manufactured. Higher contrast and better reflectivity means whites are whiter and blacks are blacker, so the pages are virtually indistinguishable from a physical book, unlike in any other e-reader display.

- Next generation built-in light-Guides light toward the surface of the display so you can read comfortably without eyestrain.

- New, 25% faster processor-Books open and pages turn faster for a seamless reading experience.

- New touch technology-19% tighter touch grid makes Kindle Paperwhite respond even more accurately to the smallest of touches.

- New Kindle Page Flip-Skim page-by-page, scan by chapter, or skip to the end of your book, all without losing your place. For example, it is now easy to quickly flip back and forth to that map of Beyond the Wall in A Dance With Dragons. See a screenshot: www.amazon.com/kindle-page-flip.

- New Vocabulary Builder-Compiles words you look up in the dictionary into an easy-to-access list. Use these lists to quiz yourself with flashcards and instantly see words in context. See screenshots: www.amazon.com/kindle-vocabulary.

All of these features combine to make Kindle Paperwhite the best device, and the best service, for reading. Unlike tablets, Paperwhite reads like real paper even in bright sunlight, won't tire your eyes in the dark, weighs just 206 grams so you can read comfortably with one hand, and has a battery that lasts for weeks, not hours. That's why many people buy both a tablet and a Paperwhite.
