Though this means that the Paperwhite actually can’t go as large as the Touch. I suppose because the Paperwhite has a higher resolution and can go smaller if it needs to. On the touch, it’s the fourth-smallest size, but on the Paperwhite it’s the fifth-smallest. As you can see, the font and text placement is effectively identical-though interestingly enough, it’s actually a different relative font size, as you can see below: The above screencap is the Caecilia font on both, in the same font size. I will do it for the Bookerly font comparison I’ll bring up shortly, though. I suppose technically I should go ahead and take comparison screencaps just for the sake of showing how the font looks without the glare or reflection on the screen getting in the way, but I don’t want to go through all that rigamarole. If you feel like taking ten minutes to watch me take it out of the box, compare it to my Touch, and work out how to set it up, here it is:Īnyway, I’ve taken a whole bunch of comparison photos. I haven’t had a whole lot of opportunity to play with the Paperwhite yet, though I did shoot an unboxing and setup video.
So here I have one Kindle a few generations old, and another current, both current on firmware. Thanks to Kubrick, I can now download updates on the Touch, and the Paperwhite doesn’t have any problems in that regard either. On the principle that if I’m going to cover e-readers, I should have access to one of the latest ones, my publisher David Rothman covered the remainder of the Paperwhite’s cost, which was pretty nice of him. I saved $20 over regular price, and then another $20 thanks to the promotional offer Amazon gave me when my Touch wouldn’t download updates. Today I received a new (refurbished) current-generation Wi-Fi Kindle Paperwhite.
