    • 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

    • Practically Perfect
Color: Denim Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
As you probably know, the kindle paperwhite is black and white and is used as a dedicated e-reader for books and other reading material. I've happily worn out several generations of kindle paperwhites because I read so many books, and I've given away about a dozen (new) kindles as presents over the years. The idea of within a minute retrieving any book in my library or getting a brand new book is simply irresistible. The kindle paperwhite is a great e-reader. Note that it frequently goes on sale so try to time your purchase so you can save $$. These are the things I like about it: * PORTABLE The kindle paperwhite is light and fits easily into my purse, even with a cover. By the way if you get a kindle definitely get a cover as well to protect it. There are many attractive ones besides just the official amazon covers. Or if you can live without the Signature edition, to save a little $$ buy the kids paperwhite kindle which comes with a case. (This is the exact same device as the regular kindle paperwhite -- just navigate out of the kids section on the device and don't forget to d/c the kids subscription). * WATERPROOF The kindle paperwhite is waterproof. Indispensable for the pool or bathtub. * EASY ON THE EYES The screen lighting of the kindle paperwhite is adjustable and reading is pleasant. I prefer to read with black background and white letters. (Settings > Accessibility > Invert Black and White). You can change the brightness by swiping down from the top and finding the "Brightness" setting. And don't forget you can change font and text size as well. When your book is open simply touch the top of the screen, select Aa > Font then adjust as you want. * READ TO YOU EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE AUDIBLE The kindle paperwhite reads to you even if you don't have audible books, alexa, or a phone app. Simply connect your bluetooth device to the kindle (Settings > Wi-Fi & Bluetooth > enable Bluetooth > select your device) then turn it on (Settings > Accessibility > VoiceView Screen Reader). You can adjust the volume and speech rate to your liking. * WIRELESS CHARGING -- SIGNATURE The Signature edition kindle paperwhite can be charged on your standard wireless phone charger. I turn the kindle upside down so the indicator lights are visible. EXTRA SPACE FOR AUDIBLE BOOKS -- SIGNATURE The standard kindle paperwhite has 8 GB storage which can store at least 2000 or 3000 ebooks or roughly 35 audible books. Newer kindle paperwhites have 16 GB. However the Signature kindle paperwhite has 32 GB which can store close to 160 audible books. (These numbers are from a quick browser search). Personally I like the text to speech feature on the kindle rather than subscribing to audible books since it's $$, but I use that extra space on the Signature to store other computer files that I don't want to lose. (You just attach the device to your computer and move files manually). _____ These are three things I don't like about the paperwhite software: * NO GAMES I really really miss the games. These were so fun to play for me and to entertain young ones. Please can we bring supportive software for games back? * KINDLE DEVICE HOME AND LIBRARY SCREENS Oh my gosh finding books is so confusing! Home lists books in order of last opened and while Library can be listed by title or author (three lines at top right screen give you "Sort by" screen), I find that if I don't remove books after I've read them things go berzerk. I hate having to scroll through long bars to find something. * COLLECTIONS IN AMAZON CLOUD Organizing books in the Amazon cloud is abysmal since you have only one layer of folders. If you have, say, science fiction books and mysteries, you either jumble them together in "Fiction" or else you have to make two separate folders that don't link. Please, Amazon, fix this. _____ Overall while the kindle paperwhite isn't *perfect* it's pretty darn close and lovely to read for books with plain text and even black and white images. PDFs and more complex images are difficult to see on the small screen and may do better with the Kindle Scribe which is larger. The kindle paperwhite and kindle paperwhite Signature is a great device for what it is meant to do -- read books -- and for that I will give five stars, although I am keeping my fingers crossed for software updates to make the experience even better. ... show more

Delivery for this kindle and its case was a nightmare. It never made to my house it would say it was at the same warehouse and then poof missing. Amazon finally figured out who to have deliver it and It finally made it. I waited awhile from the time I order it to review this kindle. I haven’t had it long but I definitely got my money’s worth. I bought it without adds. I got the anti glare screen protector and pop socket. The battery lasts a long time. I read all the time. Outside it’s easy to see so when I’m waiting in the car pick up line it doesn’t have a glare. Worth the money. It’s not to bulky and it fits in my purse. I order the black kindle even tho the agave green looked cute too. ... show more
