Additionally, Amazon allows you to adjust the color temperature of the Kindle Paperwhite’s display to make it easier on your eyes by reducing the amount of blue light it emits. The lights beneath the display provided sufficient illumination for late-night reading without feeling overly bright.

Larger screens can display more words per page than smaller ones, or allow you to view the same number of words at a bigger text size. One inch may not seem like a lot, but it can make a big difference.
