According to the optical Distinguish between Kindle (2014) and Kindle Paperwhite 2 are very manageable. Since it is quite remarkable that the lower unit of the lettering “kindle” under the display glossy black instead of white. Verso have both devices, the Amazon logo as a black relief. Amazon’s Kindle but not donated (2014) the slightly rubberized and thus safe grip back, have the more expensive Kindle 2 and Kindle Paperwhite Voyage. He feels correspondingly less “velvety” on.

If you switch the Kindle Paperwhite 2 added the integrated light, the picture changes, however.
