The Kindle Paperwhite comes with a few configuration options. That means you can read on the beach or by the pool without worrying about water damage. It’s also super portable at just 6.4 ounces and (finally) waterproof, with an IPX8 rating.

This model has a six-inch, glare-free screen with five LED lights behind the screen so you can read it anywhere. The newest Kindle Paperwhite continues in the tradition of the first Paperwhite with another round of updates. It radically improved on the original Kindle's readability and versatility with an improved screen and backlighting. Plus at only 0.34 inches thick, weighing only 6.1 ounces, and for a really affordable price, it is supremely portable, perfect for tossing into your beach or travel bag.Įver since Amazon first introduced the Kindle Paperwhite back in 2012, it’s had a special place in our hearts. The battery is big enough to provide around four weeks of reading time, depending on things like light usage and how long you spend actually reading in a given session. It connects via Wi-Fi and even offers Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to audiobooks as well as read. There’s 8GB of storage built in which is enough storage for thousands of books. You’ll also get a decently crisp 167 PPI resolution, so not only can you read in the dark, but it’ll look really close to words on an actual page. It claims market share because the screen very closely approximates what it’s like to read an actual book.įirst off, Amazon has included a brand-new front light that allows you to read in the dark, something that was previously only available on the more expensive Kindle Paperwhite. Although the software is no longer being updated by the original creators, many on GitHub have taken the code and kept adding to it.The Amazon Kindle has become a force in the portable electronics space-not because it has the flashiness of an iPad or the versatility of a flagship smartphone. On the plus side, the small file size and portability make it perfect for a smaller hard drive, such as those on a tablet or laptop. MM is also missing any library function at all, so you have to manage your library on your own. MangaMeeya requires you to go through the options menu to change between the two.

This is a bit of a setback compared to other apps, as most feature an on-screen toggle between manga mode and comic mode. Unlike MComix, you won't be able to use it from the get-go without changing some settings unless you're reading manga. Much like MComix, MangaMeeya is portable and freeware, so you can take it with you anywhere. Despite being designed for a right-to-left reading system, MangaMeeya is perfect for reading comics. The final entry on our list is MangaMeeya, a freeware application that is designed for reading Japanese comics known as manga.
