  • I love my Kindle! Update!
Color: Metallic Raspberry Option: With 3 months of Kindle Unlimited
I have had my Kindle for over a month, and I am still excited about this Kindle. However, I just saw that it is on sale (Black Friday Deal), and I wanted to cry. It is now $45 less than what I paid (excluding the cost of the charger and case; add another $60 to that $45 (Ouch!)). Then, I had to have a talk with myself, and it went like this: Trinigal, stop being upset! You are fortunate to have purchased a Kindle that works well, and doesn’t have issues (like others who have shared the dissatisfaction with their Kindle). You are still enjoying your reads and always looking forward to your next read. I then chuckled to myself, and said that the title of the next book I select should be: When is the right time to buy a Kindle? My original review is below: This is my first Kindle, so I don’t have any other Kindle to compare it to. I usually read a physical book, books on my Computer, IPad or iPhone. This Kindle makes a difference in my ability to relax while reading a book. It is an awesome device that is portable, light weight, and convenient. Although I like reading on my IPad, it will no longer be my go to device for reading (When you know better, you do better). My house is full of unread books that I bought over the years, and that really bothers me because I just couldn’t find the time to read (being a professor with lots of other academic books to read, I gave those academic books priority over a good novel). Now, I am at the point where I want to read books for relaxation purposes. I chose the Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition as part of my incentive to read a good book. I researched this Kindle for an entire month before investing in it. Let’s get to the workings of the Kindle: This 7 inch Kindle is easy to hold in my hands. The IPad truly strained my hand when I tried to use only one hand when reading. At times, I had to lean the IPad on my thighs for support. Now, there will be no more hand to thighs when reading! The Kindle set up was very easy, and user friendly. I did not experience any problems connecting to the internet. After set up, with bated breath, I waited to see how the pages turned on the Kindle, and if I will find any fault with the action of turning the pages of the book I was reading. I am happy to say there was none; no noticeable long lag time, no problems were experienced with the turning of pages on this Kindle. Then I squinted my eyes, opened my eyes wide, I turned the Kindle upside down, and side to side while turning to the next page of my book; I was trying to see if there will be any trace of the previous page as I turn to the next page ( ghosting; some users experience an imprint of the former page while moving to the next page of their book). Happy to report, I tried hard to find a problem with that but I found none. What about the battery? The battery charged very quickly, and there was no problem during that process. I did charge the battery with the case on the Kindle, (as the picture shows). The Kindle came with an 80% charge and in 30 minutes (or less) it was fully charged (100%). I am hardly ever swayed by reviews: Sometimes reviews work as an incentive, or a deterrent….I always say, try an item out and make your personal decision. This Kindle is a keeper, and I am also going to purchase the new Color Kindle Colorsoft. Conclusion: This Kindle paper white Signature Edition , Gen 12/32 GB, is truly made for reading. It is certainly a handy device for traveling, and reading on the go. It is easy on the eyes, and therefore, easy on the brain. The raspberry color is really nice, and I plan on buying an extra clear case so that I could easily see the vibrant color of the kindle. I am honestly excited to be part of the Kindle family! ... show more

  • Perfect size!
Color: Metallic Jade Option: With 3 months of Kindle Unlimited
I love this model! It’s clearer than my old version. I love the green color. It’s the perfect size to fit in your bag and super lightweight. The batter lasts for a long time and charges fairly quickly. It works great with the public library app Libby. And I love that I can sync up with my iPhone to save my read progress ... show more

  • Having trouble choosing between a colorsoft, paperwhite, or classic kindle?
Color: Metallic Jade Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
I love my kindle paperwhite! It’s easy to use once you learn the gesture controls and where to tap around the edges for certain behaviors. It’s fast and I have selected to refresh with each page because I had some issues with ghosting (this is my first tablet with e-ink display, so still learning the quirks). It’s highly responsive even after I downloaded nearly 150 books onto it! I had a kindle fire over a decade ago and I feel the dedicated e-ink style of the paperwhite is vastly superior for reading. I especially love the warm tone light and find that I can even read in the dark. I use the dyslexia friendly font (built in) and find that it’s very easy to read (and quickly, at that). I can also read in the full dark with no problems! It is a bit expensive for the signature edition, but it feels very high quality for what you get and the wireless charging is easy to use! I do wish these models had speakers so I could listen to audiobooks out loud, but I have the audible app on my phone already, so I’ll likely use that for the majority of audiobook listening. I can also use the speaker with built in wireless charger stand I got for listening while at home! I chose this one over the colorsoft because I don’t read comics often and found the tint of color on the screens wasn’t vibrant enough to justify the price. I’ve included comparison photos of the paperwhite and colorsoft as well as the smaller classic matcha kindle that were on demo at Best Buy. The warm tone light is what won me over from the classic matcha kindle to the paperwhite! ... show more

  • Bad first impression, but now I love my Kindle Paperwhite. Love it!!
Color: Metallic Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
I have left my original review at the end of this edit, out of hubris. I have since learned how to properly manage my new Paperwhite with the help of Grok AI. At first setup of my Paperwhite, it appeared as though it had downloaded all 625 books my wife and I share. It turns out, it had downloaded the titles and icons as placeholders or reminders for me to choose which books I wanted on my Paperwhite. With the help of Grok, I learned the VERY easy trick of creating a Collection in which I could download and put the books currently on my reading list. When I say easy, I mean easy. I now have the 20-some books I regularly read and use as my visible and simple to manage Library. So elegant! So, a real review. First of all, so light and easy to hold. Impossibly thin. How do they do that? Then the screen, a beautiful glare resistant and clear screen, readable in all indoor light, including by a sunny window. I had bought a case for this Kindle, but I find the naked Kindle nicer to hold. I have a discovered the double-tap, which lets me turn the page with a light double tap of my finger on the back of the Kindle, which I can do without moving my hand or changing my grip. So much more convenient than swiping to tapping the screen. This Paperwhite replaces my Oasis, which had buttons on the side of the screen that served as page-turners. I greatly prefer the double tap on the back of my Paperwhite to the buttons on my Oasis. I did my morning reading with my new Kindle, about two hours, and found the experience super comfortable, easy and convenient. I charge my Paperwhite on a stand, which works great, and with the supplied cable (which now has the same plug port as my iPhone, making one cable work for both), and found both easy and convenient. I have decided not to get a screen protector, and I will use a slip or slide cover for travelling, rather than the traditional book case. I could go on and on. I super like this Kindle, now that I know how to use it properly. I will leave my original review at the end here, so the reader can see that my problems arose entirely from innocent ignorance. If setting this Kindle up as a replacement, consider using one of the several AI assistants available on line to walk through the process hand in hand. My original review: My Oasis has begun to die, and so I bought a Paperwhite to replace it. When I registered my new Paperwhite, it downloaded ALL of my books and my wife's books. 645 books. I have talked to Kindle support, and I will need to remove my wife's books, one by one, manually. No other option exists. I can't even find my own books in the clutter to move them to top of the grid. A serious flaw, and Kindle support has made me feel as if I did it to myself. I will now spend I don't know how many hours trying to make this Paperwhite usable. Shame on Amazon. ... show more

  • Finally Pulled the Trigger and Bought an eReader
Color: Metallic Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
*This is an unpaid, unsponsored review with no AI involved. For years, ever since eReaders became a thing, I've considered purchasing one. The idea behind them is great: hold tons of books, have a massive battery life, a screen that's readable on the brightest of days, etc. As great as they seemed, however, I held to my deep-rooted belief that physical books were superior. You can't beat the feel of a physical book! You can't beat the smell of cracking open a brand new book, or especially a good old one! Having books on your shelf looks great and shows your reading accomplishments! About a month ago and for a number of reasons, I decided to finally pull the trigger on an eReader (specifically the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition) and boy am I impressed. First thing's first. This is NOT a tablet. It's not going to be as fast at navigating as your smartphone. The user interface isn't going to have a homescreen that you're used to with phones/tablets. It's not going to have the ability to download other apps to use. AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT! This is a device solely dedicated to reading. There are no notifications popping up while you use the kindle app, no whispers from it telling you to take a peak at your social media apps. All that being said, here are some quick bullet points about the Kindle that I've been enjoying immensely: - The size of the Paperwhite Signature Edition is perfect. Large enough to feel substantial and bigger than your phone, but compact enough to fit into small bags/purses or large pockets. - The weight, or should I say lack thereof, is crazy. It's incredibly light, especially after being so used to reading physical books. It's much more comfortable to hold/relax with, whether it be on the couch, reading chair, or lying in bed. - The screen IS pretty dang awesome without the glare of glass screens on tablets/phones. I've sat out in direct sunlight at the height of Summer and had absolutely no issue reading comfortably with no glaring issues. - The battery is absolutely kick-butt. The description says "up to 12 weeks" which seems like a wild amount of time, but I bought mine around late-July and have charged it to full once and it's still about 60ish%. (Keep in mind I do have it on airplane mode the majority of the time. Again, it's for reading, not being on the internet) - This version has the backlight which, to me, is a must on an eReader. It has a slider for strength so that you can have just the right amount of light for the area you're reading in. My personal favorite, is that the lowest settings are so gentle that it doesn't disturb my wife when reading in bed. - The 32gb of storage may seem small, but that's because of the association with phone storage. 32gb can store 10,000+ ebooks, so you needn't worry about running out of space any time soon. If I were to make one small criticism, it would be that the navigation/user interface can be a little jarring if you're not already used to navigating a kindle/eReader. As stated above, this isn't a tablet or phone. The way the screen/tech works, makes the kindle take a little more time to update your screen when scrolling/navigating. Definitely not something to worry about, though. There are a whole host of other things I could compliment about the Kindle. Goodreads integration, the ability to use Libby (library app on most app stores, check it out if you haven't already!), the waterproofing, largely adjustable font size, optional subscription to Kindle Unlimited, ability to read graphic novels, etc etc etc. To wrap up this essay-long review: if you're considering buying an eReader, I highly suggest it. I'm sure I'll still buy some physical copies of certain books in the future (gotta keep the shelves at home looking good) but so far, this is a cool, functional, fun piece of tech that will see a lot of use in your reading adventures. ... show more

  • The Kindle Experience
Color: Metallic Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
This is my first ever kindle and it has been an... experience. I got the signature edition. First, I love that I can visit the kindle store and my own amazon wish list that has all of my books. I don't know if that was just something all kindles have or what but it's really cool! And don't even get me started on the size; it's perfect for traveling and such, so you can truly read your favorite books anywhere. The digital storage? Love it! I have about 70 books on this thing and I'm not even scratching the surface of the storage! It's very convenient and extremely easy to set up. I'd say the money was worth it for sure, and the price seems reasonable when you start reading. I got the black kindle and I really like the sleek look of it. The selection of colors? Truly astounding and very fashionable. Amazon really knows how to make an aesthetic device! It's not too laggy and really, the only issue I've had with it is pairing my T21 earbuds to listen to my audio books. That's a bit frustrating, but I'll be looking into that soon. The AI recap is very useful, so I've heard. I don't typically need the refresher, but if I ever do, it's there! Everything is easy to access on the kindle and I think the set up is genius! The dictionary on there, which I discovered last night when I was using the feature to view what a word meant, is amazing! You don't have to pause to look it up or anything! You just simply highlight the word and it gives you the definition automatically. You can even view all the words you've ever needed to look up! Overall, I'd say the kindle is worth the money and easy to use, even if you're not familiar with it. I would recommend this as a gift to any reader. ... show more

  • Worth the price and works well!
Color: Metallic Raspberry Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
Worth the price! My first kindle and I’m in love with the ease of use. The settings are simple, but make it easy with what you intend, to read. Definitely keep the brightness to a lower setting to reduce battery drain, it improved significantly doing this. First, go through your settings fully then enjoy your kindle. So far it responds fast to commands, seems durable, and the touch sensitivity is good. I would suggest buying the short-term warranty/insurance coverage if you’re worried about damages or possible defects. Better to be safe for an affordable price! Would also recommend buying the wireless charger so you can dock it and leave it, pay attention to the max thickness of cases/inserts if you want to have one on your kindle. Overall, it’s been a great product and I’m excited to read more books. ... show more

  • My fourth Kindle (3rd Paperwhite) and by far my favorite!
Color: Metallic Jade Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
This is my fourth Kindle and third Paperwhite. I upgraded from a generation 11, which most people wouldn't do, and I'm happy I did. It's always fun getting the latest technology but I was also spurred on by a Black Friday sale and the ability to get a really good trade in on three devices, including the gen 11 Kindle that I've used for a few years that was still in great shape. And, because of the great price, for the first time ever I bought the Kindle with no ads (even though the ads have never bothered me and I've actually discovered some new good reads through those ads). The positives from upgrading from gen 11 to gen 12: slightly larger screen, a noticeably (!) quicker page turn, no screen freezes regardless of how often I check the chapter index (this is huge as every Kindle I've ever had would freeze up on me on occasion), the auto-light feature, and with no ads, I don't need to swipe up to access the text every time I open up my cover. Instead of swiping up to remove the ad, it displays the current book cover and automatically opens up the text. I hadn't considered that feature but it's become one of my favorites. And, not a deciding factor, but after three Kindles with black cases, I had a choice of colors this time and chose the Metallic Jade. It's really good looking (the model with ads has the same color options but in a non-metallic finish). I use a protective cover always but I'm going to buy one with a clear back to show off the jade color. So, if you have a gen 11 Paperwhite, I can understand that you might not want to upgrade yet (though reconsider if the price drops $50 again). If you have an earlier generation Paperwhite or pre-Paperwhite Kindle, I'd recommend upgrading. BTW, I had never traded in devices before but because I was trading in a Kindle, I not only took advantage of the sale price but I got another 20% off a new Kindle. So if you upgrade, even if you only get $5 for a years old Kindle, do it for the 20% off the new one! (Amazon was great with this process btw. They posted my credit before I'd even sent in my devices so I was able to use the trade-in credit plus the 20% off the sale price before they'd even verified my trade-ins. Great customer service!) ... show more
