Tablet users will note that you can swipe across the Paperwhite screen to turn pages, but why would you bother when the lightest tap does the job? (You can reach all three areas if you are left-handed.) However, you might need two hands when you want to touch or tap a thin strip of screen down the left hand side, which takes you back a page, or along the top, which calls up the menu.

You can still read one-handed while standing on a bus or train. The only things that break the surface are the tiny on-off button, indicator light, and micro USB port on the bottom edge.Īlthough some people will hanker after a physical "next page" button, you can move to the next page just by touching the screen.

The Paperwhite's body is pleasantly matt and black, with no visible buttons. The exterior design has also come a long way from the original Kindle with its push-button keyboard.
