AmazonKindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32GB (newest model) – Our fastest Kindle with auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and weeks of battery life – Metallic BlackRecycled Content Certification for Electrical and Electronic Equipment

I honestly was not sure if I would like this because I typically like to hold the physical copy of the book. But we’re having small children and going lots of different places during the summer. This has been an amazing tool to read more. I typically don’t read a lot because I’m so busy with my kids, but this is so easy to just work out at the pool or the park and camping and read a book. Also it’s amazing to make the font bigger and read a book on a treadmill. I’ve been reading about book a week since I got this on Mother’s Day. If you’re on the fence about getting it, do it! The three months of kindle unlimited has been amazing and the options are amazing. I use it for everything from self help, parenting books, scripture and bible study guides, and even kids books. My 9 year old really wants one now too!Positives: I love the customization of the display, it could use some more fonts but that’s just nit picky. I love the case that came with it but also got a simple plastic one when I want to mix it up. With as much as I read I still get at least a week or more on one charge. Dark mode is amazing in the theater when I don’t care for the movie my kids want to watch too.Negative: I really want the color version but it’s out of my price range. It sometimes glitches out when switching to the Amazon kids profile.

Comparing this 12th gen signature to my previous 10th gen paperwhite.The blacks are ever so slightly darker, the resolution is better (the difference in definition is slight but you can tell the text is less fuzzy).The auto-brightness is a nice feature but I may turn it off. The warmth is a welcome addition. I know a lot of people have complained about the screen being warmer than their old paperwhite even with the warmth setting off, but it makes the screen more like a regular book. Go open a few real books and you’ll notice that the paper tends to lean on the warm side. Only certain types of books are printed on bright white paper (textbooks, cookbooks, art books, etc). I read novels for the most part so I enjoy the warmth.Now what I did not know what a feature on the signature is that they have recently added the ability to double-tap on the back or sides of the kindle to turn a page or advance in a scrollable page. This is not the physical page-turn button I wanted, but it’s so much better than having to tap the screen all the time! I wish there was an easy way to go to a previous page, so far it only lets you advance to the next. Also I will sometimes accidentally tap and advance the page while not meaning to. This feature can be turned off in settings.The page turn, ability to type, bring up the dictionary, and scroll on the Home Screen are all MUCH faster than the 10th gen. It’s night and day, really. I performed the same tasks on both kindles and the 12th gen is the clear winner on all tasks.The only issue I have is with Amazon calling the color jade. I’m not sure in what world they live in, but this color is nowhere near jade. It’s teal. It’s easy to argue about color names, but if the name of the color is drawn from real world examples (like a jade stone) then the color should accurately match the name. It’s a pretty blue-green, but I could google “jade color” and go through many pages of results before I got anything close to this color. If you google “teal color” then this is the color that shows up on most of the result pages. I get that “metallic jade” sounds much better than “metallic teal”, just make it jade instead?Overall, I recommend the upgrade just for the speed of the page turn. It makes a big difference in the user experience.

I absolutely love my Kindle! The pink color is beautiful and makes it feel extra special. It's super easy to use, and I love how quickly I can get into a book and just read. One of the best parts is that I can read anywhere—at home, outside, or on the go.Living in the USA, I use the library to borrow books through the Libby app, and it's incredibly easy and seamless. Everything is clear and well-organized.The battery is amazing too—it lasts through long reading sessions without needing frequent charges. I also use it to read manga, and it handles that really well.I did have a screen issue at first, but Amazon replaced it within two days. The customer service was excellent—fast, easy, and hassle-free. Claiming the warranty was a breeze, and I really appreciated how smooth the whole process was.Highly recommend it!

Wow I am so impressed with this Kindle! I have 2 of the regular Paperwhite Kindle's but both have screen yellowing even though they're at the coolest looking screen setting. Ugh. When I opened the Paperwhite Signature edition I was amazed at how clear and NON YELLOW the screen looked! Such a relief! I even compared my other two to this one and there is such a big difference. No yellow bar at the bottom and the pages actually look like a book. Very easy on my eyes. I bought the original Kindle Jade case too and it all fits together perfectly. Even though it's $40 more than the regular Paperwhite I highly recommend buying this model. I adore the Jade color too!! No disappointment in my purchase! I love it!!

I do love this Kindle, but I bought it for the battery life so that I'm not draining my phone using the Kindle app. Unfortunately, the battery only lasts a little longer than my phone would while actively reading. Even in sleep mode, it drops 1-3% a day. I have a friend who recently got the basic Kindle, used it all weekend on our girls trip, took it on another trip where she did a lot of reading, & said she hadn't charged it in almost 2 months. It was still around 80%. I bought my husband the same Kindle Signature as me but in black & his is the same as mine with just a so so battery life. I will probably buy a basic model for backup since those seem to keep a much better charge. The size is great, the color is beautiful, the back light is amazing. I haven't tested it storage wise because I really don't have a large library yet. I just wish the charge lasted longer in general.
