  • One of the best e-readers; beats print hands down
Color: Denim Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
This isn't quite the top of the line for Kindles, but it's close. That honor would go to the Scribe, with the Oasis possibly taking second place, though we haven't seen a new Oasis in a while. It sports more memory than the regular Paperwhite, and I think that's particularly worth it if you're using Audible on the device. It would take a lot of text-based books to fill 8 gig never mind 16. I want to compare ereaders, then compare ebooks to print. If you are going to use this for audiobooks, it's hard to ignore the Nook from B&N as a competitor to this. The Glowlight 4 is about the same size as this and the 4 plus is a bit larger. All of these sport 32 gig of memory, are waterproof, and have about the same screen type. The advantage of the Nook is you get a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as being able to connect headphones via Bluetooth. The Kindle is limited to Bluetooth. The advantages of the Kindle are first that it supports Audible. If you have a subscription already, that becomes a no-brainer. If not, there are a lot of titles on Audible that B&N doesn't have. If those interest you, you're better off with the Kindle, and you'll want the larger memory. Second, transfering your own documents wirelessly to the device is substantially easier on Kindle. Just email it, or use the website, or send it to the app on your phone. Nook requires you use a USB cable and then find the right folder to put it in. This is a win for the Kindle, but any Kindle, not just Paperwhite Signature. Third, market dominance. The demise of Nook is often predicted (I don't think they're going anywhere, but that's merely my prediction based on market share over time) but no one in their right mind thinks Kindle, with a commanding 80+% market share at the time of this review, is going anywhere. For free books, Kindle has the monthly subscription to unlimited, Nook gives out a free books (or sometimes audiobook) every Friday. Prime subscribers can pick a free book (sometimes two) from a small selection at the beginning of the month. Overall, I'll call that a toss up. I use both, but if I could have only one, I'd go with the Kindle. If you're deciding between Kindles, the Oasis is smaller despite having a slightly larget screen and physical buttons (the bezel is much smaller) and it has cellular. The Paperwhite Signature has USB-C (not a big deal in my opinion) and wireless charging (and the stand they sell for that is absolutely amazing). The Paperwhite Signature is also substantially less expensive. The Scribe supports the pen and has built in notebooks, making it kind of a hybrid between the Supernote and the Kindle. That's the big win there. The win for the Paperwhite Signature is that it's waterproof, smaller, and less expensive. The basic Kindle is also worth looking at on a budget. It has less memory and isn't waterproof, but it's extremely affordable. This is the one I'd take with me into situations where I'd worry about it getting lost or damaged because it's the easiest to replace. This is also the one I'd give a kid, for the same reason, and also the one I'd suggest someone start on if they're not sure if they'll like ebooks. It really is a nice device. I use mine a lot. The Paperwhite regular sports less memory, but is a fine contender if you only want ebooks, no audio. You can only go up to 16 gig memory there, no wireless charging. It's front lit, but not automatically adjusting and it has ads. On the topic of ads, I've seen memes that seem to suggest they pop up while reading. While this model has no ads, if you're considering another don't let that stop you. They are on the sleep screen. They don't interfere with reading. It's one of the myths told by the "dead tree only" crowd. The others are: You can't dogear them. Well, you can, only you can also remove the dogear without leaving a trace, so that's actually a win in the ebook column. You can't mark them up. Again, you can and you can undo, but because the space is not limited to the page, you can add larger notes here than would be supported in print books, particularly those with thin margins. You can't use them if the battery dies. The battery lasts weeks for me and I'm a heavy reader. I have never found myself unable to use my Kindle because I was in some foresaken wasteland without access to power. I can even recharge my device for free on the bus if I have my cable with me (I usually do). I have found myself reading a book I lost interest in while out and about and using a Kindle (or any ereader), that's no issue. With print it used to be. You can't use it near water. This one is waterproof. I've never seen a print book that wasn't destroyed if you got it soaking wet. I'm not even sure where that myth came from. I can say my Paperwhite Signature fell into a sink full of water and didn't care. You retain more from print books. I'm putting this one in the myth column because I don't trust the methodology. First, they were only using iPads with notifications turned on. Then, when enough people cried, foul they used the Kindle DX (giant, wonderful device; I wish they'd revamp and reintroduce those). Only they only selected people who'd never used one before. I recently spoke to someone involved and we discussed why they didn't include audiobooks. Participants get 15 minutes to read about 25 pages. The print folk just get the book and start reading. The ebook folk get a lecture on how to use it before they start reading, but the lecture cuts into the 15 minutes. Ever wonder why the studies also show people on ebooks read faster? If they threw in audiobooks they'd have to allow enough time for participants to hear the story at normal speed. I want an apples to apples comparison, with people experienced with ebooks and identical reading times before I'll trust this. On a side note, if you want to remember what you read better regardless of medium, check out Moonwalking with Einstein (available on Kindle). One thing the "dead tree only" crowd won't talk about is the environmental impact. The impact of ebooks has always been better than that of print, but we've come so far in so little time, that a modern ereader like this one has the same impact as 14 print books. Once you read your 15th book on this, you net an environmental win. Another thing is accessibility. Any book can transform immediately into a large print book while remaining light and easy to hold and carry. Then there's lighting and the ability to read anywhere. I read in bed with the lights off. If you have a kid who "sneaks" a book under the cover, this makes it easier and reduces eye strain. Then there's the ability to text search for something you forgot and want to reference. I can barely stand print books for the inability to find some random tidbit easily. That and you get to keep your entire library. I'll always have nightmares about helping a little old lady who loves to read move into assisted living and having to discard the bulk of her library. The bulk of my library sits in my purse. And you can have the same book on multiple "shelves". That's how I get around the "is Star Wars science fiction or fantasy" debate. It lives in both. So for me, ebooks win overall, and if I have to go with one line, it's Kindle. Amongst the Kindle, my favorite is usually the Scribe for non-fiction (for the ability to take notes) and this for fiction (for the most comfortable form factor) with the base model being used in some situations. ... show more

  • Signature vs Paperwhite: Observations from Owning Both
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
I own the 11th Gen (newest model 2022) standard Kindle Paperwhite and the Signature Paperwhite. I love them both. If dough is not the issue, I would buy the Signature model for fifty bucks more. Here’s some of my particular findings in use. Cases: Note that I do not like the Amazon cases because I don’t like folding over cover type cases; I prefer cases that simply help with holding the device. I purchased the “MoKo Case for 6.8" Kindle Paperwhite (11th Generation-2021) and Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, Ultra Clear Soft Flexible Transparent TPU Skin Bumper Back Cover Shell, Clear” from Amazon and it fits the Kindle ideally, and most importantly this case DOES go on the proprietary charging stand made by Anker and the charge does go through the case (that is, I do not need to remove the case to charge the Kindle in that charging stand). Battery: Amazon states that the Kindle 11th gen will hold a charge for 10 weeks, when used at limited brightness for 90 minutes a day (and a lot of other stipulations, like WiFi and Bluetooth off, etc). In reality, many may turn up the brightness, read more than 90 minutes, and Airplane mode on, or use other features that drain the battery faster (See audiobooks below). I have found that my battery drains faster than 10 weeks, but I am using the device with Airplane mode off, Wifi on, Bluetooth On. I do not like turning off wifi in particular because it MUST Be on to sync books between devices, and since I have two Kindle 11th gens, plus a MacBook, iPhone, iPad, and I read 5 books at a time simultaneously, I have no desire to turn wi-fi off. Thus, having Qi charging is helpful…not mandatory but helpful. Another BIG reason for the Qi charging is Audible audiobooks. I do listen to them through the Kindle itself, and the battery drains fairly quickly when listening to audiobooks. Memory Storage: The Kindle has 8 GB storage, but only 5.8 GB after their software OS. The Signature Kindle has 32 GB storage, but only 28 GB after their software OS (there is slightly different software between the two models as the Signature supports more menu and charging features). So if you love downloaded “off-line” reading, and in particular if you enjoy having audiobooks in your downloaded library (they take much more storage than an e-book), the 32 GB is reassuring. Auto-light adjust: I can’t even detect that it’s doing anything, but if one rides a train daily to work and it passes through dark tunnels, this feature may be of benefit to you. Advertising free: Many forget the $20 value of the ad-free that is part of the Kindle Signature. Even those that wouldn’t pony up for it on their own may enjoy it here as “icing on the cake” for the price difference. I like seeing my own book cover on the sleep screen, and that is not possible with the “with ads” version. I thought I enjoyed the ads for editors choice books and book sales and stuff, but I much prefer the ad-free model. And, little discussed fact, the ad-free version has one less swipe to get to your Library or current book every single time you turn on the Kindle. True! Dedicated Signature Charger Stand: I bought the Qi charging stand and like it greatly. It does work with my “MoKo Case for 6.8" Kindle Paperwhite (11th Generation-2021) and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, Ultra Clear Soft Flexible Transparent TPU Skin Bumper Back Cover Shell, Clear”., and charges through the case and the case fits the stand (but not quite as bump-proof as the Kindle without the case). I like that the stand sits quietly on my desk as I am working, or on my coffee table while I’m watching sports do I can read during commercials. I do not need to keep the AC cord attached to the stand at all times; sometimes I use the charger stand as simply a free-standing stand for either of my Kindles. I like that it can hold my Kindle 11th generation normal edition without Qi charging and I can read on it as an easel stand. I feel the utility as an easel stand is underrated. Qi chargers in general are not free, and neither are easel stands, so coupling those two together, you get the price of this Anker model. I find no issues with the size of the “wall wart” or the plug in the back of the stand. Some people complain with the charging stand that the white light indicator does not turn to another color, such as green, to indicate full charge. A “work around” for this is to place the charging Kindle on the stand upside down; now the LED light at the bottom of the Kindle device itself, which does change color when fully charged, is face upward and easily seen. Frankly, there is no issue with simply assuming the Signature PW is charged after an hour or two. I like this stand much more than I thought I would. I’ve owned every Kindle since the first one! I use library Libby, and am an Audible and Kindle Unlimited subscribers. I guess you could say I’m a “power user”. I definitely prefer the Signature version, but both are good readers. If I could change one thing about these Kindles, it would be to add a physical button like the Oasis. I realize that sounds outdated, but to reach and switch with the other hand, or reach thumb across screen to scrub, every page turn is a chore that is solved with an under-thumb button like Oasis. Additionally, the e-ink is good, but after two decades, one would think the text versus background contrast would be better…that is, darker text, whiter background. Instead, it remains darkest gray text in lightest gray background, not ideal. Happy reading! ... show more
