      (Pedantry incoming)

      Paperwhite is actually Amazon branding. E-Ink is a brand as well, owned by the E Ink Corporation. The generic name would be electronic paper or e-paper.

      Edit: Clarity.

        Not entirely true. E-ink is trademarked by the e-ink company, sole manufacturer of e-ink displays.

        That part isn’t Amazon-related.

          I meant its branding, not Amazon owned, I should clear that up though it is misleading as written.
