_______
The Kindle is BRAND NEW and sealed in the original packaging.
This is the 2ND GENERATION Kindle Paperwhite (WI-FI) with a better touch screen and Next-Generarion Built-in light.
IT HAS ADS OR "SPECIAL OFFERS" ON THE DEVICE.
The ads are unobtrusive and don't "pop-up" while reading. They are only on the home menu and screensaver, ie when you are not reading. If the ads really bother you, they can be removed later from inside your Amazon account for a small fee. (+/-R200)
A common misperception: One does not need to be in a Wi-Fi hotspot to load books onto the kindle. Books are small and easy to download using your existing internet connection. You can then transfer books from your computer to the kindle using the included USB cable.

No Glare in Bright Sunlight
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the latest Kindle Paperwhite reads like paper—no annoying glare, even in bright sunlight.
Won't Tire Your Eyes in the Dark
Paperwhite guides light toward the surface of the display with its next-gen front light—unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes—so you can read comfortably without eyestrain. Adjust your screen's brightness for great reading in any light.
Charge Monthly, Not Daily
Kindle Paperwhite won't leave you tethered to an outlet. A single charge can last up to eight weeks (based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at ten), unlike tablets that need to be charged each night.
Read Comfortably with One Hand
Thinner than a pencil, lighter than a paperback—and over 30% lighter than iPad mini. Comfortably hold Kindle Paperwhite in one hand for long reading sessions.
Whiter Screen, Darker Text
IMPROVED—Enjoy even better contrast on the latest Kindle Paperwhite. Whites are whiter and blacks are blacker, creating sharp, clear text. The high-resolution display allows for elegant typeface options including Baskerville and Palatino, and all fonts on Kindle Paperwhite have been hand-tuned at the pixel level for maximum readability and comfort.
Fast, Easy Page Turns
IMPROVED—The new Kindle Paperwhite's processor is 25% faster. Books open and pages turn faster for a seamless experience. Kindle Paperwhite also uses the latest in capacitive touch technology, more accurately responding to the smallest touches.
Flip Through Without Losing Your Place
NEW—With Kindle Paperwhite’s new Page Flip feature, you can skim page-by-page, scan by chapter, or skip to the end for a sneak peek without losing your place.
Take and Share Notes
Add margin notes that you can edit, delete, or even export from Kindle Paperwhite to your computer. Share highlighted sections and meaningful quotes on Facebook and Twitter, and see passages frequently highlighted by other Kindle readers.
Look It Up Instantly
IMPROVED—Kindle Paperwhite's Smart Lookup feature integrates a full dictionary with X-Ray and Wikipedia so you can access definitions, characters, settings, and more without leaving your page or losing your place.
Enhance Your Vocabulary
NEW—Words looked up in the dictionary are automatically added to Vocabulary Builder to expand your knowledge and reinforce retention. Swipe through your vocabulary words, quiz yourself with flashcards, and instantly see those words in context.
In-line Footnotes
NEW—With a single tap, read the complete text of each footnote without changing your page or losing your place in the book.
