Kindle is purpose-built for reading

No glare in bright sunlight

Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, Kindle Paperwhite reads like paper.

Charge monthly, not daily

Kindle won't leave you tethered to an outlet. A single charge lasts weeks, not days.

Lighter than a paperback

Kindle is lighter than most paperback books, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods of time.

Reads like the printed page

Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book.

No distractions

By design, Kindle is purpose-built for reading and creates a sanctuary so you can lose yourself in a book. Unlike tablets and phones, Kindle doesn’t distract you with social media, emails, and text messages.

Buy once, read everywhere

Read on your smartphone, tablet or computer

For those times when you don't have your Kindle with you, just download the Kindle app for your smartphone, tablet or computer to read your Kindle Books.

Never lose your place

Amazon's Whispersync technology remembers where you left off in a book, so you can seamlessly switch between your Kindle and the Kindle app on your smartphone, tablet or computer without ever losing your place.
