Q. Does the paperwhite read like a regular E-Ink where it doesn't hurt your eyes, or does it read like an article on a monitor where it hurts your eyes after a few minutes?
A. Hello,
Kindle Paperwhite is designed for reading. Unlike a backlit tablet display, Kindle Paperwhite guides light towards the surface of the e-ink display from above so that the light never shines directly towards your eyes, allowing you to read comfortably without eye strain.
Your eyes adapt to the amount of light around you, so you'll prefer dimmer light when reading in a dark setting and brighter light when reading in well-lit surroundings. You can adjust the brightness of Kindle Paperwhite across a wide spectrum - from low light to full brightness - so you can read comfortably in any setting.
The patented built-in light illuminates the screen, not the entire room, so you won't disturb your partner when you can't put your book down at night.
I hope this helps.
should i get a kindle or a kindle paperwhite?
Q. what are the main differences.
A. The Kindle Paperwhite is improved over the basic Kindle. Here are the main improvement on the Kindle Paperwhite:
- Better screen resolution
- Better screen contrast, which is good for reading
- Faster processor, thus faster page turn
- Built-in light, so you can read in the dark without additional device (the basic Kindle has none)
The last feature is the most important one. So if you need to read in the dark, the Kindle Paperwhite is no brainer. Otherwise, if you're on budget, then just go for the basic Kindle. This actual user review should help you making the decision:

A. Review comparison on Kindle Paperwhite vs Kindle:

Kindle Paperwhite seems to be the better option, it has:
- 62% more pixels for better resolution

While on Basic Kindle you are basically getting an entry into eBook readers with the cheapest price you can pay for.
