Kindle Paperwhite | 6 inch Features Specs

Kindle Paperwhite: 

One thing Amazon is not afraid of is change. It alters product designs as often as some people change shirts or at least hairstyles. The point is: The way your Amazon Kindle looks today is not necessarily the way it’ll look tomorrow. The new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite e-ink-based e-reader is, for example, quite a departure from the most recent Kindle Touch. Unlike that ugly shirt or bad hairdo, though, Amazon once again gets its new look just right.
You might not notice at first, but viewed separately, a quick glance at the two devices released just one year apart reveals a host of significant changes. The Paperwhite is smaller, thinner (6.7? x 4.6? x .36? versus 6.8? x 4.7? x .40?) and black where the Touch is slate gray. The Paperwhite moves the eponymous Kindle logo to the bottom edge; it also loses the Touch’s home button and audio-out capabilities (not something I am going to miss).
