In the 2012 model there was a Kindle character on the back ... ...


In the new model of 2013 it seems to be one of the points that distinguish two from the amazon character, this back logo.


The two home screens look like this, the color of the screen has changed slightly.


Both models can read characters without difficulty even if the brightness of the screen is dropped.


With the feeling like this when maximizing the brightness of the screen, the person of the 2013 model on the left side tastes the color near the paper with the screen feeling yellowish.

When you try to display something with a lot of ink fill like cartoon, the impression that the color of 2013 model on the left side got thinner overall than 2012 model.


Although there is no big change, the impression that became a more user-friendly e-book reader by crushing a bit of minus points such as the color taste and blur on the screen, the speed of page turning, and the increase in the main storage from 2 GB to 4 GB. It was a Kindle Paperwhite 2013 new model.
