The story of this device

The original Kindle Paperwhite set the gold standard for digital reading by engineering a built-in nano-imprinted light guide over a sharp 212ppi E Ink display. Delivering crisp, paper-like contrast in sunlight or total darkness, it cemented Amazon's undisputed leadership in e-readers.
