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

I couldn't be happier with my new Kindle! The display is crisp and easy on the eyes, the battery life is outstanding, and it's incredibly fast and responsive. I love having an entire library with me wherever I go, and reading for long periods is much more comfortable than on a tablet.The only surprise was the size—it was smaller than I expected. However, after using it for a while, I came to appreciate how lightweight and portable it is. It slips easily into a bag or even a large pocket, making it perfect for travel or reading on the go.Overall, this has exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading. It's a fantastic device that makes it easy to read more often.

I love this Kindle Paperwhite. Even though the display is black and white, the contrast and clarity are perfect for reading. The glare-free 7-inch screen is easy on the eyes and provides a comfortable experience in different lighting conditions.The Wi-Fi works well, the Bluetooth connection is reliable, and the battery lasts a long time. It is fast, lightweight, and easy to carry anywhere. Overall, it does everything I need it to do and provides an excellent reading experience. It is the perfect e-reader for me.

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite! The screen is beautiful, the text is crisp and easy to read, and the adjustable warm light makes reading comfortable day or night. The battery lasts a long time, and the 16GB storage gives me plenty of space for all my favorite books. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for reading anywhere. This is a great upgrade for anyone who loves books and wants a convenient way to take their library everywhere!

Oh my goodness, these Kindles are life changing. They are waterproof for relaxing in the tub or on the beach. I love that you can adjust the font to whatever size you need and change the background to black for a no-glare experience. I have never been able to read digital books but reading from this Kindle is different. There is no glare and so it doesn't feel like I'm reading from a screen. I can take my whole library with me wherever I want. I am also a seminary student and I can search my library using terms I'm writing papers about and it will bring up all of the books that cover that topic along with page numbers I can click on for easy access to quotes. I also have Kindle unlimited and it will show me all the books I can access for free on the topic and the page numbers I can click on in those books to find information with just one click! I can also listen to any book I want through the assisted reading feature or download audio books to listen to from the Kindle. I rarely have to charge it as each charge lasts weeks. And, I can add up to 8,000 books! I can highlight and take notes in any book. And, if I don't know a word's meaning, I can just rest my finger on it and it will give me the definition! Just an amazing experience I would recommend for any student, Bible studier, or book lover! As a bonus, I speak Spanish and love learning new languages. When I download a book in another language, it has a built-in English-Spanish dictionary so I can lay my finger over a word I don't know and it will give me the dictionary translation of it! Jus amazing!!

I have been reading kindle unlimited on my iphone for so long I didn't believe it could get better. My husband surprised me with this for Christmas and I absolutely love it. The paper-like appearance is easy on my eyes, read easily when outside, and can be adjusted with ease. I like to make the light warmer at night so it is less stimulating before bed. It is super light to so easy to use while laying down. I barely ever charge it and the battery lasts forever. I can't believe I would read on my phone before lol

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.

Even on sale, it is high priced. It is a nice little e-reader though. I haven’t had a kindle since Kindle Fire years back so this is much improved compared to that. It is quick and although I thought I wanted something bigger, the size and weight are perfect for laying down in bed. So far, I am glad I bought it.

Love it 90% of the time. Reading on it is pretty great and it's very sturdy. Ive read around 500 books on it so far and if you just want it to read it's hard to compare the battery life and general ease of use. I don't have a screen protector and I don't have the case and I can confidently say this thing doesn't need that protection. Ive dropped it, chipped the outside edge bumper somehow and it's been smashed at least a few times. Works fine, Its pretty flexible and I think that saves it from most damage that would otherwise mess with it.It does have some issues though, Navigating the menus could be better. The touch controls can be a little frustrating sometimes even when I know how they are supposed to work. Like accidentally clicking links in books when Im trying to turn to a new page or go back to my library. Book covers look meh at best on it and sometimes I look at them using my iPad. My biggest gripe would be one handed reading. If I hold the kindle with my left hand its challenging to turn the page with a finger (the left side of the screen turns back the page) You might be wandering when you would read with one hand, lazy reading on the couch or in bed.It does seem to have issues updating with other readers, like switching between the kindle and my phone or iPad. If I only switched between my phone and tablet my pages would always be about were I left off... not so much with the kindle in the mix. That isn't normally a concern because I switch less now that I have a kindle.. but if you still want to switch devices it isn't updating activity between devices often though that gives an opportunity to read different things on other devices which ive done and that is nice sometimes too.Ive never tested kindle unlimited on it, so no thoughts on how it is with their service. Buying books is better on almost any other device besides the kindle, it excels as a reader and is really good in that niche. The web browser and scrolling in menus feels like bathing in oily sand paper and there needs to be a way to ignore books in both the library and in various parts of the store the options available to do either are pretty bad. Permanently delete from library is kind of an extreme solution to ignoring books I don't want to see anymore or aren't good enough to reread anytime soon and removing something from the kindle homepage in recommendations won't actually remove it from recommendations in other kindle sections... like "based on your library" or "Continue a Series You've Started". No means no kindle/amazon make the bad books stop.My primary entertainment is books this is a must buy for anyone like that.
