'At the end of the day, that’s all I really want from my tech: for it to be something that does exactly what it says it will and makes it a little easier to do the things that I enjoy'
A technology that’s not trying to do the most. Photo: Courtesy Amazon Update: I first wrote this ode to the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite in 2018, but I still consider it one of my best purchases, particularly in this time of self-isolation. One feature that I didn’t mention in this ode — and has become especially convenient now that I don’t leave the house — is that I’m able to buy a new book and start reading it immediately without waiting for a delivery.
I may be behind the curve on this one, since the Kindle Paperwhite has been around since 2012. But I haven’t really thought about Kindles since I abandoned mine in 2015 or so; the version I used had a full keyboard at the bottom that was hard to navigate, and no backlight, so reading in the dark was impossible. So in my mind, Kindles were ancient relics, but I was convinced to reenter the Kindle universe after seeing one of my most stylish friends using his Paperwhite this summer.
Plus, it’s actually a pleasure to use. As I wrote back in July, “The backlight and matte finish don’t make me feel like I’m staring at a computer screen, which I appreciate from my ‘books.’” Unlike my phone screen or even laptop, the Kindle screen has no glare, which is surprisingly relaxing when I’m reading in my bed before falling asleep. And the backlight means that I can read it even if all of the lights are off.
Kindle $90 The exact version of the Kindle Paperwhite that I own has been discontinued — but the now-standard Kindle has many of the same features, including a light and one-handed swiping.
