Is the Kindle Paperwhite worth the extra spend over the basic Kindle? Let's break it down, with a view to help all those Black Friday shoppers.

The Kindle Paperwhite is like having a library in your pocket, minus the eye strain and distractions. What makes this one special is its 25% faster page turns and higher contrast display. It’s a lot like reading paper, but with a built-in booklight that actually adjusts to your environment.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition didn’t need a big upgrade, and it didn't get one, but the new SE is snappier and smoother to navigate, and it still looks fantastic when you dive into your favorite texts.
