I purchased the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite (11th generation) to replace my original Kindle Paperwhite (from 2012), as the original no longer receives software updates, and is achingly slow to navigate the Kindle Store, and lacks functionality to return Kindle Unlimited and library books (which I have to do from my phone's Kindle app). The battery life on my old Kindle has also suffered, and while I can get a few days out of it if I read only a few hours a day, it's definitely not what it used to be. The first thing I noticed on the new Kindle was how much larger the screen is (you can see in my attached picture). While it didn't seem like the new Kindle was that much bigger side by side, the smaller bezels definitely make a huge difference. The new Kindle looks more like a paperback when reading. I also really enjoy that I can change the backlight temperature (the old Kindle only had one color), and that I can turn the backlighting off completely - a feature the old Paperwhite didn't have. The text also seems a bit crisper, and dark mode definitely helps when reading before bed. My old Kindle, perhaps mostly because of age, had dim spots near the bottom, which I don't see in the new Kindle, which makes the backlighting less distracting. The waterproofing of the new Kindle also gives me some piece of mind, especially when reading in the bathtub, and I don't feel like I have to be as gentle with the new one, though, given I've had my old Kindle for 10 years, I baby my electronics. I also purchased the cork cover for my new Kindle, and while it seems fine for light protection if I throw it in a suitcase or my bag for travel, it's definitely not as robust as the leather cover I had for my original Kindle. The old leather cover is probably the same weight, if not heavier, than the Kindle itself, and wraps around the entire device, while the cork cover only cradles the sides and the corners. The old cover also has a metal tab to make it easier to open and close, while the cork cover does not, and its thinness makes it a little difficult to grab the edge to close the Kindle. That said, the old cover's heft definitely contributed to fatigue in my wrists if I didn't hold it just right, or rest it against something to read, and the new cork cover is much lighter. The power button remains in the same place, and like so many others, I still find myself occasionally hitting it when I'm shifting the Kindle in my hands. Putting the power button elsewhere would definitely help with this (like on the top of the device), but its position hasn't changed since the original Paperwhite, so I doubt that will change anytime soon. The updated software is... fine. I like the gestures to get to quick settings, which involved several layers with my old Kindle, and appreciate the simplified interface, but it definitely took a minute to adjust to the new layout. I wish that putting books into "Collections" was a little easier, but I can always use my phone for that, as I have been. I don't ever intend to listen to audio through my Kindle, but I'm sure people appreciate that feature. I'd rather use my phone or tablet so I can adjust volume easily, or listen in the car. Overall, I'm very happy with my new Kindle and look forward to, hopefully, another 10 years with it as my reading companion.

I got this new edition and sold my old Kindle Paperwhite for three important reasons, and I’m very happy I did. First, I wanted to be able to change the color temperature of the light for night time reading. That works great on this new edition. Second, the responsiveness of the screen in the last version of Paperwhite felt clunky and slow to me. I often found myself annoyed by how long it would take to highlight a section or turn the page, as well as how frequently it would fully flash-refresh the page between turns. This new version is much kore responsive and smooth. Thirdly, I hated the ads on my old Paperwhite and spent the extra money to buy one without ads this time and I’m happy I did. Fourthly, I wanted to have a reader with a slightly larger screen, like this new version has. Those improvements in the new Paperwhite are great and I feel the upgrade was worth it for me. All those positive attributes aside, I haven’t given the Kindle Paperwhite five stars because Amazon should be making greater advances and improvements in these e-ink readers than they are. This Paperwhite still feels unrefined, slow, and out of date in to comparison to other devices many of us use each day. I suspect that truly investing and innovating in e-ink technology is a low priority for Amazon, especially because the competition isn’t fierce, the profit margins are small, and they’re focused on other products such as the Kindle Fire. That said, I feel like the Paperwhite is finally a decent e-reader.

The Kindle Paperwhite has been better than expected. I'm not exactly a super reader or anything, but enjoy a good book from time to time, and reading on the Kindle is the most convenient way ever. There is still something to be said about a physical book - the smell, the color, the texture of the cover and pages - and I thought I would have a hard time reading without those features. But the Kindle replaces them with convenience. It's light, easy to hold with one hand, readable at all times of the day in any lighting, pages don't blow in the wind, and getting a new book is just a few taps away. The "paperwhite" has been better than expected also - as it's probably the closest you'll ever get to reading paper on a screen. It honestly feels like I'm like looking at paper - my eyes don't hurt after a while from staring at a screen. You can adjust the brightness and screen warmth with a swipe down menu. Battery life has been great so far, and I haven't tested the waterproof feature (I probably won't ever) but it's nice to know it's there. The only slightly negative comments I have are that I wish the main homepage was a bit more customizable or simpler looking... It displays your library but then Amazon's recommended books and Amazon's "Discover" reading section. I wish there was a separate link to open Amazon related things instead of feeling like I'm always tied to it when on the homepage. And yes yes, this is a paperwhite kindle, but I was caught off guard by it only being in black and white. For some reason I didn't put two and two together that paperWHITE means the screen and display is made to look like paper - so book covers and images are just in black and white; no color. Oh, and one other thing, I bought the ad free version and I definitely think that's worth it. It sucks we even have to pay for something like that now a days, but I felt like ads would be annoying and would take away from the "book" experience, which has already been diminished to a screen.

What a great product. It is hard to convince DTB lovers to convert, but it's so much better for travel and convenience overall. This one was for my son who I never thought would use it, but he loves the freedom it affords him - especially as he ventures all over the world. Great screen, great form, great function. Love it.
