Question: what is the difference between the kindle fire and paperwhite?
Answer: The Paperwhite screen is created using e-ink as opposed to the LCD display found in the Fire HD 8. ... The Paperwhite also has a far better resolution than the Fire HD 8, with crisper text as a result. However, the Paperwhite is obviously limited in what it can do. After all, it's an e-reader, not a tablet.
