Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (newest model) – 20% faster, with new 7" glare-free display and weeks of battery life – Raspberry

Such a great upgrade from the Kindle I bought in 2010. Loved that Kindle, but it no longer worked for downloads and book purchases as it was an older operating system. Amazon offered a discount to upgrade, so I took advantage of that offer and bought this Kindle paper white 16gb. It's really a great e-reader. So small and light yet many great features. It can hold up to 5500 books, and I know that is much more than enough for me. It reacts so much faster than my older kindle and set up , pairing with my iPhone took about 3 mins...so easy. I love the screen..no glare, really looks like the paper in a book. Easy on the eyes, so I will be using this in bed before going to sleep. Still learning all the tricks of the screen, but it's easy to figure out as you go along. It says the battery lasts for 10 weeks, and if that is true, that will be incredible. Looking forward to enjoying many books on my new Kindle paperwhite

I’ve been using the Kindle Paperwhite for a while now and I absolutely love it. The screen looks just like real paper, even in bright sunlight, and it’s very easy on the eyes. The battery lasts a long time, and I really like the adjustable warm light for reading at night. It’s lightweight, waterproof, and perfect for traveling. Overall, it’s an amazing device for anyone who loves reading. Definitely worth it.

This is an excellent reading device for those who have so many books that they cannot store any more. I’ve already foreclosed 25 novels and it takes minimal room on the device. It is easily charged, and the charge lasts quite a good while. The typeface is easy to read, and the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I anticipate many good years of service from this lightweight, convenience-oriented product.

Purchased this Kindle Paperwhite for children and it has been a great choice. The new 7” glare-free display is very easy on the eyes, and the device feels responsive with faster performance. Setup was simple, and there have been no issues or complaints so far. A reliable and distraction-free reading device that works perfectly for its purpose.

I lost my old one at a resort, and I needed it again so badly I bought it again right away. It’s pretty expensive, but it is 100% worth it. It just like a real book, but with many different inside it, and you can turn the brightness off and still see the words. It fits great in my hand, especially when I’m reading in my bed at night. You can also turn warmth up to adjust to the light around you.

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite. It is the perfect size and weight. It fits comfortably in my hands and the screen is always readable no matter the weather, day or night. My only criticism is that the Kindle book shopping experience is abysmal. Typing and navigation about the book store are slow and cumbersome, and it is very normal to have to reboot the device to get it to even connect to the store. The device is nearly perfect. The back end accessing the book store front is not.

I received my Kindle PW (Paper White) 2024 yesterday! My Kindle History Up to Current: I was using the previous PW which I loved until losing it on a flight - so I dusted off my 2018 PW, popped on a new case and have been using it again for the past 2 years again. Initially I was holding out for the Colorsoft version. However, when it finally came out the reviews were mediocre to poor. The clincher against my buying the Colorsoft was reading that even in B&W mode, the resolution wasn't as crisp as the standard Kindle PW products. So given the choice between mediocre resolution + mediocre color vs excellent B&W I opted for the 2024 PW. From reading reviews on it across the spectrum here, I admit I had the return already prepared. However, my unit arrived in beautiful condition. Color: The chief thing I was looking for was the complaint regarding predominantly yellow screen with the bottom ‘yellower’ band. Not sure if these were faults with the earlier units. On mine, if I have warmth at 0 and the brightness turned up, the color while not being cool, is about as neutral as possible against physical paper. Dimming to 0 relying on ambient light exaggerates the warmth on the Kindle device especially in my place which uses 2700K warm white light sources. The uniformity on the page is perfect - I have not been able to create the darker color band on the lower screen that several reviewers have reported. I haven't yet taken it out into sunlight. I still find the page color at all spectrums is well within my comfort for reading as with paper books where there are also many variations of white color on the pages under different light sources. Resolution: Before ordering I researched the difference between eink and eink carta as my 2018 PW also has 300 ppi. I can't say there is a noticeable difference in the clarity between the 2018 and 2024 unless I look at it under magnifying glass side by side. The difference is nowhere near as detectable as when I upgraded from my 1st gen Kindle to the 2018 PW. In any case both are acceptable and the 2024 resolution is crisp and beautiful as I expected. EDIT: I finally used this at night in the dark with the brightness set at 8. During the day, the resolution to my naked eye looked about the same as my 2018 PW. At night though, the 2024 PW looks far neater and crisper than the older model, even though both are 300 points (the eink Carta difference at work) Performance: This area is where I could really feel the upgrade. I had no complaints on reading the 2018, but starting, inputting my pin or typing anything in the search area, there was noticeable lag that I was accustomed to since using my first Kindle device. The 2024 has almost no latency; if it does I have a hard time noticing it. Whether keying in my PIN or typing a search, it is now as instantly responsive as typing on my phone or tablet. The page turning is as crisp as advertised, and I’m enjoying the animation. Size, Weight, Etc . Form Factor - I'm still in love! Size - I loved the compact size of the 2018 - almost same as small paperback. While the 2024 is a hair larger, I know I'll acclimate with no problem. It's now about the same as a larger paperback - but much lighter in most cases. I also use it with the Cobak Jade color case - while I love the minimalism of the naked Kindle device, having the stand for me is a must rather than having to hold it. Of course, I remove the case when I want to use it in the hot tub. Power Button Location Jury is still out on this. I really wish they'd move the power button to the top. On all the Kindles I have owned over the years, I'm annoyed when I hold the unit (even with the case) my finger tends to brush the power button putting the unit to sleep while I'm reading! On this 2024 PW, I'm noticing that with the increased width and offset position of the button, this may be enough for me to avoid the problem as I typically hold the unit on the bottom dead center, so I'll reserve judgement until I have used the product more. Overall, while I could have used my 2018 a few more years, the improvements in the 2024 made upgrading completely worthwhile.

I love it! I use it all the time and the battery lasts forever! It is great to use and super great! It is user friendly and perfect size!
