Amazon originally advertised it as patented screen technology where you can't see where the source of light is. Well we all know thats not true! But as I said don't really bother me, and more the fact that they didn't deliver what was advertised.
No page buttons. As nice as the new touchscreen is, I quite liked resting my thumb on the screen on my KK. Now I can't do that. Would like the option of page buttons. But I guess it wouldn't work anyway even if it did have page buttons, because you still need to touch the screen to lookup a word or highlight text.
Forgot to mention in my review that battery life doesn't seem so good. Although this could be related to indexing. I only tend to add one book at a time, but when I got my PW I added about 10. |
I do think amazon were silly to call it a paperwhite, because some people would expect it to be paperwhite and evenly lit. However at the same time despite the advertising hype I was not expecting an evenly lit or pure white screen simply due to the nature of the device. I was expecting an improvement on clip on lights\lighted cases and that is what I got. I would agree about the battery life, so far I think it will be about the same as my kindle keyboard, which is good enough but not as advertised. However I added about 300 books from my archive in one go and when I took it off the charger there were still 100 books that hadn't been archived so will have to do another full charge before I can see how good the battery life really is.
