How the Kindle Paperwhite Works

Interesting diagram on the inner workings of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, the technology that makes it all work.

I remember when it first came out I was amazed that there was finally a Kindle with a backlight. The photos of the unit looked great. Then I got one. I realized the photos showing a completely white screen were not exactly accurate. In bright light it was pretty good, but in dimmer light you could easily see the uneven lighting especially at the bottom of the display. It was distracting and especially disappointing considering the flawless product shots on Amazon.com.

At some point I’ll do a Kindle Paperwhite review, but for now I will say it is certainly the best Kindle out, very light weight and portable. But I am still waiting for a better screen.
