    • Many adults should just by this one for their own use.
I am a diehard ebook fan. And I have stuck mainly to Kindles because that is where my ebooks are located, and there is a lock into a platform once you have thousands of books on that platform. I purchased the very first Kindle in 2007. And then I upgraded in 2009. And I upgraded again and again, owning, or at least using, almost every kindle model that has been released. But over the past few years, I have stuck with older kindles because there have not been compelling reasons to upgrade. Size and Weight The new Kindle Paperwhite has a 6.8-inch screen, and that 0.8 inches may not seem like a lot, but based on the additional width and height, at the font size I mostly use, there are about five extra lines per screen. The Paperwhite is heavier than I think it should be, 205 to 208 grams depending on the model. That is up from 182 to 191 grams for the 2018 Paperwhite and 194 grams for the 2019 Oasis. Those are all significantly heavier than the 131 grams of the 2015 Kindle Oasis without the battery case. But the Kindle Paperwhite has comfortably rounded edges, which means that weight, even while noticeable, does not hurt to hold. That being said, I do find myself reading in a recliner, resting the kindle on my stomach or the arm’s chair. The slightly larger screen is offset by smaller bezels which means that the device is barely larger than the older Paperwhite and smaller than the Kindle Oasis. But those smaller bezels make the kindle harder to hold without covering the edges of the text, which I think is the real reason I tend to rest the kindle on something as I am reading it, not the weight itself. The offset weight of the Oasis design made the Oasis more balanced for one-handed use, but the curved edges of the new Paperwhite are more comfortable. Combining both features, a nice comfortable curved edge, and the offset weight would be the best of both worlds. The slightly larger screen with the smaller bezels means that the dimensions are very close in size. The new Paperwhite is 0.3 inches taller and wider than the 2018 Paperwhite. The Oasis is more square than rectangular, so it is 0.6 inches shorter than the 2021 Paperwhite but 0.7 inches wider. The 1st generation Oasis is 1.3 inches shorter and 0.1 inches narrower. The more rectangular design of the Paperwhite prioritizes the screen instead of page turn buttons and space to hold the device one-handed. Comparing Kindle Paperwhite 2021 to Kindle Oasis 1 (2015)Screen Until color eink screens are ready for mass production at a minimum of 300 ppi, the differences in screen sharpness will be minor. There is little visible difference between my 2015 Kindle Oasis and my 2021 Paperwhite. They are both 300 ppi. They both have adjustable lighting that shines from the screen down (away from your eyes) toward the print using invisible threads of light in the screen. Each model gets slightly more lighting and more even lighting. The ability to shift the warmth of the light from a colder blue to a warmer yellow is nice, but fundamentally, these are minor differences. If you have any Paperwhite or Oasis from 2015 or later, you have an excellent screen, and the current technology of the eink display cannot really give you a better one. The basic Kindle also includes a light but only has a 167 ppi display, which is visibly lower quality. But there is almost no difference in the quality between the most recent Kindle Oasis and the most recent Kindle Paperwhite. Battery and Charging The new Paperwhite claims ten weeks of battery use. That is based on 30 minutes of use per day, so approximately 30-35 hours of use. I have not tracked my use, but I have only charged the Paperwhite once in nearly a month, so I have plenty of battery capacity, even if I doubt that I got 30-35 hours of use. It makes no sense to me why Amazon would increase the battery capacity from 6 weeks to 10 weeks by increasing the weight of the paperwhite. In my estimation, 15 to 20 hours of use should be plenty, and it would be better to decrease the weight rather than increase the battery length. The new Paperwhite has finally moved to a USB C charger. This is a standard charger that most Android phones and many other devices use. That is a very welcome change. My old kindles were the only device I had that still used the older micro-USB standard. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition also includes wireless charging, but Amazon suggests their own branded wireless charger at an extra $30. I have heard some people say they have been fine using other wireless chargers, but you will need to place the kindle very carefully to have it in the right place. But, again, I don’t see the value in wireless charging on a device that only needs to be charged every week or so, even with extensive use. This isn’t a battery or charging issue, but the power button is in the worst possible place. I think the Kindle Voyage had the best power button on the back right, toward the top. For right-handed people, it was perfect. You didn’t accidentally turn it on, but it was a natural reach when you picked up the device. The second best place is the top so that there is no accidental button press. But instead, the power button is on the bottom beside the charging port. And that has lots of potential for accidentally pushing it. And there is nothing natural about reaching to turn it on there. Yes, if you use the case, you don’t need the button. But I’m not too fond of the case and use it without the case most of the time (as I detail below.) Kids’ Edition and Case I purchased a Kids’ Edition Paperwhite because at the time it was on sale for $45 off, before my 20% discount. The Kids’ Edition has four additional features over a standard Paperwhite. First, the warranty is extended from 1 to 2 years. A case is included with the purchase (otherwise, Amazon cases start at $29 and go up to $49; third-party cases can also be purchased.) And the Kids’ Edition comes with a year’s membership in Amazon Kids+. Kids+ includes a library of kindle books and audiobooks that are free to borrow. I do not know how much I will use this, but the value is $36 a year and I have wanted to try it. The Kids’ Edition also is ad-free, which is a $20 value. I am not a fan of the case. It is also heavy, 115 grams, adding more than 50% to the already heavy device. The case protects the screen while traveling, and I will use it when traveling, but the edge is uncomfortable to hold, and at least so far, it doesn’t lay flat when folded. I have looked around at reviews for Amazon’s cases for the new paperwhite, and the one I have is the best-liked one. But, unfortunately, no one seems to like the current set of cases. Overall Cons Amazon has made several design choices that I would not have made. The power button is in the wrong place. The only color is black. And I think the device is too heavy, does not need as much battery as it has, and the bezels are probably too thin to use with one hand comfortably. But at the same time, everyone likes the look of smaller bezels, and no one directly complains about having extra battery capacity. Finally, I don’t see a purpose of wireless charging or more than 8 GB of storage unless you like to keep many audiobooks downloaded. I have approximately 200 kindle books downloaded right now, approximately two years of reading material for my average reading rate, and I have 3/4 of the 8 GB storage space free. The additional weight means it is less comfortable to use one-handed, and the additional size makes it harder to throw in a pocket. However, that will not matter for many that are used to throwing it in a purse or bag or are only using it around the house. The Paperwhite is also a fingerprint magnet, although part of that is that it is more grip-able than the Oasis. Overall Pros The price has increased, but the Paperwhite is the better value compared to the current generation of Oasis. And even with my preference for page turn buttons, the speed and similar quality of the screen mean that I would recommend the Paperwhite over the Oasis at this point. The Kindle Oasis 2019 is $100 more expensive and rarely goes on sale. On the other hand, the Paperwhite has only been out a bit over a month, and it already has been 25% off, and if history is a guide, there will be regular sales that are 20-25% off. The build quality is solid, and the device’s feel is good. Generally, people perceive metal devices as higher quality, but in the case of the Kindle Oasis, the metal edge was too sharp, and the back was slippery. So the soft rubberized plastic and smooth edges both have better grip and a more comfortable feel. The USB C may not matter to everyone, but all of my devices that are not iPhone or AirPods use USB C, so I prefer USB C as a charging standard. The increased screen size does help add more content to the screen. But the additional screen real estate means that I no longer can fit it in as many pockets as I could with my 2015 Oasis, which is much smaller. Should you upgrade? The screen on the Paperwhite is excellent, but not a reason to upgrade if you have any Paperwhite or Oasis that has been sold in the past five years. I can tell that there is a faster processor, and the common delay when using the keyboard is significantly less. But I rarely had a problem with the device’s speed except when using the on-screen keyboard. So again, if you have a device that was made in the last 5-7 years and there is no problem, I would probably wait. The operating system and user interface, updated for all devices, are easier to use, so again it is a pro, but not a reason to update. Finally, the battery has been good and continues to be excellent; if your battery lasts for a week under normal usage, I would not upgrade. On the whole, if you have a kindle, and it works, don’t upgrade. ... show more

    • Bought three (for adults)
Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GB Color: Emerald Forest
Two reviews in one: Kindle: I keep two Kindles around--one for work and one for personal use. After dropping a Kindle Touch in the bathtub, now I only buy Paperwhites for the water resistance. I have the first-gen paperwhite (normal with ad-supported lock screen) and recently bought this second-gen in the Kids edition. The screen is noticeably superior on the 2nd gen so that's what I read at night now. I bought the Kids edition because (1) no ads, and (2) it was worth the additional cost to extend my Amazon Kids+ subscription another year. After having this first ad-free device, I'd never go back because it's nice to have the current book display on the lock screen then have the device unlock upon opening the cover to the book page without swiping. I did end up buying a new case because I didn't like the texture of the kid-friendly (translate: durable) cover, but it was still cheaper than an ad-free Kindle. You do forgo the option of three free months of Kindle Unlimited with the Kids edition. Amazon Kids+ subscription: this has been great for my family. My daughter (12) likes a Kindle for the same reason I do--many books in a compact, <1 lb space. My son (8) prefers the Fire tablet over the Kindle still because he wants the pictures in color where possible. The variety of books is pretty good--often we discover a great author in one children's series available on Kindle Kids+, then check out other books by that author digitally from the local library to read on the Kindle. So, decent variety of books, a handful of educational games (though not Duolingo :(), and the Toca games that the kids can play for hours on a road trip make the subscription a good fit for my family. Thus far, we've spaced our device purchases out to not yet pay for a subscription so I can't say whether the monthly price is a good value. Finally, I bought two of these same devices as a Christmas present for my parents a year ago after I noticed my dad reading a paperback for the first time in years. His first Kindle had died (after six or so years) so this was a great gift for him. I bought the Kids edition for the lock screen, but I also thought my mom (who has cognitive issues) would enjoy the children's library. We set up a child account with a profile age that matched her mental abilities. Pro: she read a lot of books--more reading in nine months than she has in ten years--with a lot of variety. Con: she couldn't handle unlocking Amazon Kids on the Kindle on her own in the hospital to connect to wi-fi for more books. So, my parents won't be extending their subscription past the year and will just rely on the library for variety. ... show more

    • Amazing for Adults
Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GB Color: Emerald Forest
My girlfriend waited all year for a kindle. She did the research on all the tech differences and decided the kids kindle was the one she wanted for the additional perks it comes with (the 2 year warranty, the case). After using it for two weeks, she has expressed immense satisfaction with her choice. She actually uses the kindle in the kids profile so she can track her reading stats. She loves the additional perks the kids profile brings as silly as that may seem at first glance. For instance, if she is reading her adult novels and notices some complex vocabulary she is already highlighting to use the dictionary for, the kids profile adds it under flashcards and tracks the words to practice to begin learning. She loves this feature. Overall, 10/10 purchase, especially with the Black Friday price. ... show more

    • Worth the investment

I actually bought the kids paperwhite version for myself as it came with a case. I don't use the Kindle unlimited app. But rather I got a library card from a library that uses the "Libby" system. That allows me to borrow kindle books for free. It's been a great investment as I have already read more within a month that I had read the entire year last year. It's super convenient. I just throw it in my purse and take it everywhere. ... show more

Had to use WPS on WiFi router to reset the WiFi of the Kindle because it was stuck (even after rebooting) and would say that it connected to the access point but not the internet. Works great now.
