Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (newest model) – Our fastest Kindle ever, with new 7" glare-free display and weeks of battery life – BlackRecycled Content Certification for Electrical and Electronic Equipment

This is my first Kindle Reader. Was hesitant after reading some of the reviews. This had everything I could possibly want in a simple Kindle. A few features in others I just didn't need, so I purchased this 7" Kindle in teal. The price was fantastic. Into day 3, I'm loving it. Nice bright white, no yellow at the bottom. Pages turn quick & so easy to download books. I can take it anywhere & continue with the series I started a few months back. Never thought I would change from reading paperbacks. Well, I'm sold on this Paper White. Perfect size to carry with me, not heavy but still has a little weight. Easy to hold & I purchased a cover that instantly turns the unit on when opened. Nice feature, also protects the screen. Glad I waited for this new Paper White to come out. The only con that I see, & if anyone can tell me different, I can't flip back to the previous page (just in case I missed something). A great purchase overall. Also took the 3 month kindle book offer. So it you're looking for a sweet deal on a reader, don't look any further.

This is amazing. About 10 years ago, I had a B&N Nook Reader. I stopped regularly reading for a few years ago when life got difficult, and now that I'm reading a ton again, I needed to replace the tech. This Kindle Paperwhite is fast, simple, and efficient. The battery life is great. It is small and compact, and fits in a tiny crossbody purse. I am so excited to use it for my upcoming vacation. This model does not show color, however, and if you need a color Kindle, I would go with the newest one. However, for novels and some textbooks, this is a great tablet!

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 LocationJury 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.

Best purchase I've ever made. This kindle is very good.It's crisp and clear.I love the ease of looking up the words by just clicking them.The highlighting is super awesome, and it saves All your highlighted items for each book.Being able to change the font is amazing and being able to change the size of the font is awesome.Holding the Kindle is way easier than holding a physical book. It has made reading much easier and faster for me.Being able to change the brightness and warmth, is a really great feature. I also really enjoy that there's no glare. The fact that it's waterproof is another plus. The battery lasts for a very long time.Another great feature is that you can search a word or phrase in the book that you're reading. It's very helpful if you need to look back on something in the book. The feature is simple and easy to use.Well worth the price, I have no regrets.

I chose this Amazon Kindle Paperwhite as I value the warm light, and the waterproof feature, but it’s not as expensive as a Kobo. I enjoy the larger screen, as it’s easier to read, however i did have to buy a bigger purse. Coming from a 7th gen kindle (3rd gen PPW) I really enjoyed how fast and responsive it is, compared to the older generations. It’s very lightweight, so it doesn’t make my hand cramp when holding it like an iPad would. I absolutely love reading in the dark as well, with the built in front light. I will say, a con is that unless you pay 20 dollars to get rid of them, ads are always on your screen, but only when it’s off. It’s quite annoying every time I pull my kindle out and there’s a half naked man on my screen when I don't even read those types of books lol. I have read 7 books on it since i got it 3 months ago, and I am throughly enjoying it. I can carry her around and take her everywhere with me. She’s been on 2 roadtrips and she goes with me everywhere, even school, and she is the most gorgeous shade of raspberry pink. The battery life is great and I only have had to charge it twice since I got it, and that’s only cause I was going on a trip. It wasn’t even near dead
