Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GB Color: Emerald Forest
Update: Device bricked on me. Called Amazon for help and rep was clueless on fixing. Started a return. Called again to get issue fixed cause really did not want to return and new rep told me only way to reset is from home screen and since my device was not showing a home screen, I would have to return or replace. Ridiculous. Finally figured it out myself - holding down on/off button long enough forces a restart and, voila, device working again. I have already noticed the somewhat unfinished and buggy kindle software on this device, so combined with small screen really thought of trading up to kindle scribe, but decided to keep this. It really is a good device, I am getting used to the small screen and after all my good experience with Amazon returns, I decided to trust in Amazon's warranty. I will wait to update to a more expensive, larger device when fast color screens are available on eink. Orig. Review: What I like: - Outstanding 2 year warranty included. And since this is from Amazon, it is a real and reliable warranty, unlike those from all too many sellers (cough, Lenovo, HP, chuwi...). - Outstanding build quality. Unlike the shoddy manufacturing processes of way too many, this kindle does not run hot, has decent battery life and enough power to function well (instead of just adequately). Materials are put together solidly and smoothly. - Outstanding screen for reading. Letters are truly as sharp and clear as everyone says, with excellent contrast and a nice range of display controls. Have to admit, my eyes are not stressed at all reading with this screen, unlike with my regular tablet or ipad. I am really looking forward to when full open android tablets are available with sufficiently fast, high quality color e-ink screens at a decent price. - Page refresh is fast. I am a fast reader and if I am not having any issues. - 16 gb of memory standard. The minimum I would want on an ebook reader. - Included wake/sleep cover. Wish the cute whale one was available for this model, but I love the forest one. Well-designed and works very well to protect the kindle. I also appreciate how the cover magnets keep it both open and closed. Very well thought out. - 1 year free of Kindle Kids subscription - Can set up separate accounts to use for adult without parental control and child with parental control. - Waterproof. Yay! - Very good price, especially during sales. What I do not like: - Screen feels so so so small to me. Forget reading large format pdf or non-fiction books with illustrations. I am tempted to return this and get the Kindle Scribe instead. - Locked into kindle. I can get library books supposedly, but process is somewhat convoluted and I have not been able to get it to work. No sd card so I cannot easily access my collection of Gutenberg ebooks. Again, convoluted, difficult process to get those books onto a kindle. Have to load one at a time. Not a big deal as I can read those on my tablet instead, but annoying. - Only 16gb, which is minimum acceptable. No SD card slot to add more memory. - My first kindle and my first e-ink reader. Turns out, you cannot continuously scroll through a book vertically with e-ink, which is my favorite way to read. Oh well. - The on/off button is on the bottom of the kindle. Which means my kindle gets accidently turned off repeatedly every time I use it. The single most aggravating thing about this device and if I return it, this will be why. On/off button should be on TOP edge. Grrrrr. - No reverse portrait or reverse lanscape options. Which means I cannot position screen to put that neffy on/off button on top so it does not constantly accidently get pressed. With such a small screen, landscape is uncomfortable anyway. - Surprisingly, the kindle software built into this kindle is significantly worse than the android kindle app. Not as intuitive or flexible and feels very buggy and unfinished. For example, software does not recognize when a book is not published yet, and will try and download it! Parental and kids account management is painfully bad. - The cover thumbnails in the home and library are fuzzy and eye straining. I have not found an option to make them bigger. Navigating home and library is awkward and uncomfortable. I have small hands and vertical scroll bar is too narrow for even my small digits. Horizontal scrolling laggy and also not spaced well, even for my small fingers. - Transfering books to kid’s account or approving kid purchases is also a ridiculously convoluted process. Again, insufficient flexibility and simplicity in parental controls. - I generally hold the ereader and swipe with my left hand. There is no software or hardware accomodation for that. Another reason I may end up returning this. There is a reason for page turn buttons and reverse portrait. How about some consideration for lefties? I can manage, but annoying. My bad for not investigating that issue. - No speakers. I saw the blurb about audio books but missed that you need to use headphones. Sigh. So, good first kindle option for kids and casual readers. Small screen maybe not so great for my aging eyes and the amount I read. Still, an excellent device. ... show more

    • 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

Love my kindle paperwhite so much that I bought this one for my kids. Love that it’s a separate reading device so that we don’t get distracted like we do on our iPads. It’s the perfect screen to read in the dark without hurting your eyes. Love that it has a dyslexic font! It’s really easy to set up the parental controls for each of my kids. I just wish there was an easier way to switch between kids profiles instead of having to log into my account to switch the user. The kid’s accounts do have access to any audio books you choose to add. There is no speaker or audio input so you will have to use Bluetooth wireless headphones. The battery on these are so good! We had a power outage that lasted 6 days and I was able to keep reading the entire time without having to worry about recharging it. Love that the kids version came with the case, 2 year warranty, and a year of kids+ I highly recommend! ... show more

I am so happy with my kindle! I love that I can read at night with the lights off. I love that I can take it everywhere with me, it is so light weight. Amazon offers so many opportunities to get free books, Kindle Unlimited is also a great option as is Prime Reading. There is an app called Libby to borrow ebooks from your library completely free. This is just a great device to have! If only it had colored eink I would love it even more, I like seeing the covers in color, but that is my only complaint. A tablet or phone does not compare to a Kindle for reading. If you want to save a bit of money, sure use your current device but a Kindle is such an investment because it literally looks like paper, the battery lasts soooo long and it is so lightweight and best of all, no distractions. ... show more
