Amazon Kindle is known for its ultimate reading experience. The technology used and the feature given in the device are good enough to enhance the reading experience of users. But, which Kindle version is better in terms of reading? Is it the Kindle Paperwhite or the Kindle Fire HDX? Well, let’s find it out.
Before
Paperwhite, there were several Kindle devices which needed an external light
source. Paper weight was the first e-ink device with a light source as said by Kindle Support. It means that its screen was
lit from the front. It didn’t have a backlit screen like other smart devices
since users claim problems. Users claim how their eyes and head pain looking to
the screen. That’s what exactly happens when you look to a lamp for hours.
Backlighting however can be used as low brightness devices and surely headaches
and all will not be any problem as mentioned by Amazon Kindle Support following a query.
Further, as Kindle Help explains, backlight screen
of Kindle Fire HDX needs to be refreshed and it eats up a lot of battery.
Screen has to be refreshed and has to be powered by an internal backlighting.
Resultantly it uses much more battery hence battery life is less. www Kindle com support also explains
how users can use kindle Fire HDX’s automatic brightness to set brightness so
that it doesn’t hurt eyes that much.
Kindle paperweight
however is an exception. It is like a book with a lamp in front of it. It
doesn’t hurt eyes. It has a black and white e-ink display which fetches data
and after that it is on the screen. KindleCom Support explains how there is not much battery consumption since it is
not back-lightened.
This is clear that
both devices have their reading usability but there is no right and wrong.
There is no defining which device is better for reading. Paperweight takes the
edge as it is an e-ink display and all but Fire HDX has its own uses. It can be
used to browse internet and read from there. It can be used to edit excel
sheets. It can be used to perform thousands of functions which a paperweight
cannot perform.
Kindle fire support especially for kindle fire HDX
is dedicated and quick. Paperwhite can be used to read books not listen to them
and that is where kindle fire HDX wins. Audible or listening books are very
popular now a days and kindle paperweight lacks at them. Whenever we are
travelling or are in a position where we cannot hold a tablet and read through
it, we can use an audio book or audible. Audible can be downloaded from kindle
store. Kindle store too is not accessible in paperweight.
Paperweight is just
an upgrade to already perfect reading device called kindle. Paperweight adds
its lightening capabilities. It has the finest and most comfortable reading
experience including reading from an actual book. E-inking and battery life
make it most demanded reading device. Kindle fire HDX is for those who want a
hybrid of a productive tablet and reading device. It surely cannot beat quality
and comfort of reading experience of paperweight but can surely mimic it to an
extent.
Since fire is a
more complicated tablet, it is obvious why dedicated support is there for it.
Paperweight on the other hand is a well-established and non-problematic simple
device hence it doesn’t even need a support but it has one in form of Amazon Customer Service Phone Number.
