Today The Kindle Paperwhite happens to be one of the best-selling eReaders worldwide since it has great opinions from all those who have bought or used it at some point and that thanks to the promotion that Amazon does of its products, their quality and especially their seductive prices, it manages to overshadow almost any other device that can be exactly the same in terms of performance or even better.
One of these cases is that of Papyre 630 that we analyzed a few days ago on this same website and that it has the misfortune of having to live in the shadow of Amazon devices and specifically the Kindle Paperwhite, having very similar characteristics and I would even dare to say superior.

Summary: The eReader par excellence, with which Amazon offers us an unbeatable experience. | Summary: A good eReader, with an attractive price and a design that will surely make you fall in love at first sight. |
Externally, both devices are very similar and it is that both have a 6-inch touch screen, with a very similar size and a weight 16 grams less for the Papyre 630 that we could consider irrelevant. Both devices have a built-in light which will allow us to read in full darkness.
Internally, the differences are also minimal, although the Papyre device has twice the memory for storage than the Amazon eReader, although this aspect is not too important or relevant. In terms of speed, speed and agility of the device, both eReaders are very similar and Despite the speed of which the Kindle Paperwhite boasts this is almost priceless when compared to the Papyre 630.
Even in price these devices are similar and both can be found on the market at the price of 129 euros.
If you ask my opinion I think both devices are the best we can find on the market but I would choose the Papyre 630 after trying both though I would leave this duel between these two eReaders in a technical draw.
