  • Love the device and the color!!
Color: Raspberry Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
Long time multiple Kindle user. This was a great upgrade and the Raspberry color is beautiful! Screen color was perfect, no weird yellowing, and the warm light feature worked well as always. It is slightly faster than my 2021 PW 5, has slightly improved clarity & crispness, improved battery life, and feels slightly lighter to hold. Purchased during the Black Friday sale so an excellent value. Not a huge upgrade from the PW 5, except for the color, but would be a huge upgrade from any other model. It even feels like a nice upgrade from my Oasis 3, which I love, and even though it doesn’t have page turn buttons, the increased speed, greater screen clarity, greatly greatly improved battery life, and usb c charging, outweigh having page turn buttons for me. I always keep my Kindles in a case so having the on/off button on the bottom of the device isn’t as annoying for me as for some, but I agree it would be much better to have this located on the top or top back (like the Voyage). I do wish Amazon would reconsider the software restrictions they have recently implemented, ie, removal of the Download & Transfer option. Most of us heavily used that feature for non nefarious purposes which did no harm to Amazon or its Authors. We simply used it as risk mitigation to a) keep a backup copy of our data (same as all other data we use) and b) to acquire ebooks while staying in airplane mode, preventing untested firmware updates (quality control issues) from being pushed to our devices and crashing them. Sadly, many people won’t get to enjoy this superior (imo) reading device as they are moving to inferior (imo) non-Amazon ereaders in response to Amazon’s increasing focus on restrictive shenanigans and disturbing lack of quality control surrounding the 2024 Kindle releases. ... show more

  • Better in absolutely every way
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
I recently purchased the Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation (2024) because I want to read more actual books (vs. articles and work material). This Kindle replaces two of the basic versions from the past few years that I honestly rarely/never used because the visuals were grey and slow-moving. No longer! The Kindle Paperwhite is superior in every way. Wait for sale or take the 20% trade-in if you already have a Kindle. I also found that if you return to Amazon to look at the item several times it may magically go on sale! The new Paperwhite is comfortable to hold, the "pages" turn at amazing speed, the usual font sizing options are there, as well as the adjustable warm light which is really the key for eye comfort for me. The clarity of the text is far, far better than on the basic Kindle, really noticeable. It's easier to highlight text and make notations than on the basic Kindle models, too. If you're on the fence between the basic Kindle and the Paperwhite, try to get the Paperwhite. The reading experience is measurably better. I suggest getting a cover because the Paperwhite, like the rest of the Kindle family, is thin and very portable, but needs the protection of a firm cover, imo. If you do take advantage of the 20% trade-in or other offers, be sure to follow-up to be sure the discounts hit your account. It can take a little time but it's a good option. ... show more

  • I finally get it!
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
After years of being a staunch paperback book lover, I finally get the appeal of the e-reader. I love this thing, and honestly, I don't know if I can ever go back to reading paper books. The best way to describe this little device is like a calculator but for books. It's function is to make reader easier, more accessible, and in your control. While the interface is quite simple, I like that it's streamlined for its one task: reading books! It's light weight, the screen and words and very crisp, and it is very responsive to touch when turning the page. I was a little weary that this didn't come with a physical touch button, but the screen is so responsive that I find it's not necessary. The unique backlit build makes it even easier to read then a paperback, especially in the dark! Paired with a well-fitted, high quality case, you can truly keep an entire library in your pocket. I purchased a beautiful leader case with a built-stand stand and strap so I really can read anywhere - in the bath, while eating, etc. Plus, it has seamless integration with both GoodReads and Libby. I love that you can highlight parts of the book and it automatically updates on GoodReads for you. Plus, Amazon claims that it has 'days of battery life' and that is no joke. I haven't charged it at all and I've read three books on it already. I got the black, and I'm a sucker for color - but it honestly doesn't matter if you're getting a case. If you've been thinking of making the jump to an e-reader, go for it! You won't regret it. I am happily living in my book era. ... show more
