With one of the brightest back-lit screen of any e-ink electronic reader out there, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect companion for nighttime reading. The capacitive display is a major improvement over the IR touch technology featured on other devices, producing responsive and smoother results. A single charge lasts up to eight weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 10. Amazon's breakthrough power management technology allows you to leave the light on at all times for the best possible contrast without sacrificing battery life.
