Kindle Paperwhite's screen has 25% higher contrast. Crisp, dark text against a brilliant white background makes for the perfect read. Paperwhite guides light towards the display from above instead of projecting it out at your eyes like back-lit displays, thereby reducing screen fatigue. You can adjust your screen's brightness to create a perfect reading experience in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to bedtime reading.

The interface is controlled entirely by touch, with new finger-friendly menus on offer. When you're reading, different parts of the screen offer different options when you tap them – most of the screen is dedicated to turning the page forward one when you tap it, but the far left takes you back, while the top of the screen brings up the menu buttons.

Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Touch are two different Amazon's e-reading devices, that provide access to Kindle ebook library. They are lightweight and compact e-readers with touchscreen and Wi-Fi connectivity. Both support multiple languages and feature Amazon’s cloud storage for e-books.
But Kindle Touch (released in 2011) is Paperwite's direct predecessor. It was Amazon's first device with touchscreen, targeting users, looking for an affordable, entry-level device. It doesn't have a front light, so can't be used in the dark. It has lower screen resolution and lacks waterproof protection.
Kindle Paperwhite (first released in 2012 and then updated several times) is the best selling e-reader ever. It features a front-lit display for reading in low light, high screen resolution (300 ppi), water-protection (in latest models) and longer battery life.
