Topic	Is the Kindle Paperwhite worth the price?
TheNobleWoodApe 03/18/21 12:05:02 PM #6:	kind9 posted... I guess I'm thinking of it like a tablet. I have a 7" tablet and it feels tiny to me. That's sort of the wrong way to look at a Paperwhite though. It was purpose built to do one thing and that is to push sharp text to your eye. It doesn't need all the screen real estate that something like a tablet has. Plus, the tablet can't really be held like a page because there's no real border. The tablet also has a lot more going on. Icons, interface elements like menus, an active notification bar. Outside of full screen, the tablet needs that space most of the time for all sorts of unrelated things. The kindle isn't going to have that issue. Everything but the text goes away and when you need UI elements, and you're not reading at the same time as messing with UI. --- Yes, I'm real. <cite>TheNobleWoodApe posted [p:951844374] in Is the Kin...
