Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) Our fastest Kindle ever, with new 7 glare-free display and weeks of battery life Without Ads - Black + Kindle Unlimited

I absolutely love my kindle, it’s my first ever one & I’m so impressed. It’s compact, lightweight, responsive to touch, and high quality. The text clarity is perfect and you can adjust the screen brightness according to your preference. Download speed is fast. I got the one with ads and they are no bother at all, they actually recommend books based on the books I’m reading, and they don’t disturb when you’re actually reading. I love so much that I can now read in a darkened room, my favourite. I am already reading more than usual. I love the pink colour as well. I’m really glad that I decided to treat myself to a kindle after much deliberation.

This was a Christmas present for my wife. She had a older kindle so this was a update.very easy set up just enter your details and it loads all the books from your previous kindle, simple . The screen is a lot clearer and easier to read, very good quality.very impressed with the new kindle .

Excellent purchase, so easy to use, lightweight with adjustable lighting, makes reading a whole lot easier

I've never had a kindle before but I prefer it over books if anyone will believe me. Lightweight, easy to take around, nearly fits in most of my pockets, but I'm happy with the size I take it everywhere with me and helps keep me off my phone when I'm on the train. The only reason I'm not giving it 4 star is because they charge you another £10 to not have ads, I got the one without ads because I don't want annoying pop ups, they should have made it add free to begin with! Other than that its really nice, I love that you can change the brightness and warmth setting from 0 - 24 There's another great feature called 'Dark mode' that is really nice to use at night. Battery has been very good, I've used it everyday for an hour if not more a day couple weeks and still got plenty of battery left. Very nice to read wherever I've taken it. Sometimes a bit of glare but very rarely a problem. It's so nice to be able to flick between your library of books without carrying them all around with you at once. Would definitely recommend this if you're an avid reader or want to start reading more.

This is my first ever kindle & i was worried i wouldn't like it & that id wasted a lot of money on it. It took me one book to get used to it. I had to change a couple of settings to get it how i liked it & ever since then im reading on it daily. I had one problem where i was turning the screen off & it froze so i was worried i had broke it but all you have to do is hold the power button down for longer which resets the Kindle & it was back to normal ☺️ It's so light so it's perfect for reading in bed without getting a sore arm & the battery lasts so long which is even better. I'm glad i gave it a chance 💜

I just ordered it and I’ll update this review once it arrives and I get the chance to use it properly. My main problem with the recent Kindles is the fact you have to pay extra to get rid of ads…I don’t want to have ads so I paid but there shouldn’t be ads on a Kindle period. Anyway, I’m an happy Kindle user since 2013. My 6th generation Paperwhite (PW) has been amazing and still is. It has been with me by the pool, on the beach, survived anything. The battery still lasts days and days. It is AMAZING. I could still use it but I’ve decided to pass it to a relative and upgrade, mainly for the USB-C and the bigger screen as I read a lot of technical books. I’ve seen a lot of people always complain about new kindles “not changing much”…I’m sorry but that is a feature, not a bug folks. If a product is amazing at what it does and lasts you 10+ years you don’t want to change it for the worse (Ads are an example of this): You want to gradually improve it. You don’t have to upgrade to the newest Kindle every few years, but when you eventually do like in my case, you get a noticeably bigger screen with higher resolution and density, with the same weight and size, higher contrast, super fast refresh rate and general speed, better frontlights, warm frontlights and dark mode for night reading, 4 times the storage (not that I really exhausted the 4GB I had)…I can’t wait for it to arrive :) UPDATE 3 (MONTH 1): As suspected the battery life was dropping way too fast. I also had this weird problem where on girlfriend’s iPhone charger the battery stopped charging at 75% and on other charger never got to 100%. The bottom of the screen was also yellow (this seems a common problem among 12th gen Kindles, both PW and CS apparently). Long story short I decided to return it and buy a new one (notice that Amazon makes it easy to return a product but annoying to just replace it, whatever). The new one arrived and…the screen looks much more yellow/gray than the replaced one. Darn it, the 12th gen was already waaay grayer than my 2013 Paperwhite :( Just to put things in perspective, I always had my old Kindle brightness at 6/24 but with the new Kindle I always find that being too dim/gray. On a positive note, replacement’s screen look more uniform and somewhat blacks look blacker (very so slight that it may well be placebo!). The battery also seems to deplete very quickly. I don’t know whether it’s a first few days thing or a calibration thing. Regardless, I think the 12 weeks of battery is VERY optimistic. And not even taking in consideration the occasional reading of articles or browsing the Kindle Store...that eats percentages of battery by the minute. Also, the bug I’ve mentioned where switching between light and dark mode sometimes turns the front light off is still there…definitely a software problem (I tried to raise this with Amazon support but they were useless. They said they raised a ticket but I haven’t heard back, so I’m thinking they just lied to get me off their back. Amazon should make it easier to report issues like this) All in all, I still love my new Kindle, especially the big screen and speed (although using the browser kills the battery). The battery is disappointing but part of me still hope it will get better after a few weeks. Screen is not as white as it used to be but at least seems more uniform now. It’s such a lottery :(. I hope I’ll finally settle with this replacement. UPDATE 2 (WEEK 1): I have it for a few days. Still loving it but I have concerns about the battery. Possibly I’ve been messing with it more than normal but battery went from 95% to 15% in 4 days. Light never was above 12/24. Wi-fi was on. Used the browser a few times… Bur still, I haven’t used it more than usual and yet battery seem to have lasted me less than my PW2? I charged the battery this morning from 15% to 95% in ~1h which is far quicker than what Amazon says (2h+) which makes me wonder if there is something off with the battery capacity. I wanna see how it goes in the next few days of mainly lights off/Wi-Fi off, more normal usage and hopefully no indexing of new books. Fingers crossed! Another thing I’ve noticed is that I am absolutely loving the “Dark Mode” and I can’t see myself going back for night reading. Only caveat if a book has pictures with white background they’ll be a bit brighter. And also browser content is still displayed normally, even in Article Mode. But otherwise absolutely great! I also got a leather case which at £60 is way too expensive but nice. If you are considering it tho bear in mind it seems to scratch VERY EASILY. UPDATE 1 (FIRST IMPRESSIONS): I have it for a couple of days although I haven’t been able to use it much. Apologies this is going to be long :| First of all let’s get 2 things that you’ll often see people complaining about out of the way: 1) “the button is at the bottom, I’ll accidentally press it” - I am not saying this is impossible BUT I never had a problem with the old one and it doesn’t seem to be a problem with the new one. I am waiting for a case and still haven’t pressed it accidentally, it would be even less of a problem once the case arrives. Oh and BTW the new power button feels much nicer! 2) “there are no buttons to turn pages, the Kindle I bought in 1986 had them, I refuse to upgrade”. Again, never tried a Kindle with buttons, I’m sure they were somewhat nice but I never felt swiping or tapping on the border to turn page was a problem. Sure in my old Kindle OCCASIONALLY I tap on a link or highlighted text instead of turning page. But I think this is even less of a problem with the flush screen. I actually noticed I can tap just outside the screen to turn pages now because of the flush screen and I LOVE IT. Most importantly people need to realise mechanical buttons and moving parts WILL break. Something that is not there can’t break :) The flush screen is really nice compared to the old PW from 2013. Highlighting feels so much better, can’t quite explain it or why. Possibly because of the flush screen, maybe also because of how faster the screen is, but it’s great. I kept comparing the old screen with the new one and it is driving me a bit nuts. Somehow the new screen looks gray-er? Of course if you just use it it is fine but it has a more “recycled paper” look than paperWHITE (not that Kindles ever compared to the white of paper mind you) It is fine, but I can’t quite explain it. My theory is that it’s a combination of the flush layer but also the front lights colour temperature being less white/blue (which is a good thing!). The flush screen (which I love) is also a bit of a fingerprint magnet, although: 1) they seem to be more noticeable only when there is a light source reflected, not usually 2) I imagine the flush screen is easier to clean. Continuing with the less positive things: I am noticing much more ghosting compared to the old PW2. In my old Kindle it was usually more pronounced on the beach because of the heat and in general time after a few pages, here I noticed it more, especially when flipping pages more quickly. The good news is that it is not bad in practice while reading normally and it seems less noticeable at normal brightness like 6/24 or 12/24. Speaking of speed…wow, the new Kindle is so fast, I love it. Don’t get me wrong my old PW2 is still good enough but the additional speed means you don’t get the occasional “did I tap to turn page?”. The “experimental” browser is still not great BUT, because of the faster speed and possibly more memory I found it goes from “practically useless” to “potentially useful sometimes”. For example I was surprised I ended up reading a couple of articles off a mailing list in it without getting frustrated or feeling like reaching for my phone. This is great! Mind you, it is still far from perfect, it occasionally just rolls back to the top of the page for longer articles which is stupid but the “Article Mode” is decent. Could use some usability love, like for example it starts with tiny font size and it is not apparent you can increase it (Hint: Pinch to zoom. It will even remember it). Ultimately the additional speed means jumping around the UI/bookmarks etc is SOOO MUCH BETTER. Next, the bigger screen. I love it so much. At first it is noticeable - from a 6” screen - but nothing more. But then you realise you don’t need to tap as often and also for programming books lines are wrapped awkwardly less often! The most amazing thing is of course reaching for my old Kindle and almost laughing at how small the screen now look and feel, almost as if it’s a “toy kindle”. Speaking of the screen: 1) Love the warmer light. Front light seems warmer in general but you can also set the schedule automatically and forget about it (I’m trying mine at 16/24 or 75% and it seems like a good setting) 2) This new Kindle has a “Dark Mode”, I was sceptical at first regarding the legibility of text but once you get used to it it’s fine. It’s much less harsh on your eyes and produces less light in general: Last night I was able to read for awhile without my gf complaining about the light not even once, so that was a success. Nicely the “Dark Mode” button seem to remember the brightest. So for example you could have the normal brightness set to 12/24 but the “Dark Mode” brightness set to 6/12. And when you flip between the two it would adjust the brightness: THIS IS GREAT. A front light BUG: I don’t image Amazon will ever read this review but I noticed a problem when flipping between normal and “Dark Mode” or the other way around: The front light SOMETIMES turns off even if UI says it’s 12/24 for example. Touch the Brightness slider switches the light back on but… This is VERY ANNOYING, especially as - unsurprisingly - you may switch to “Dark Mode” when there isn’t much light in the room (or at all!) and you may well not be able to see anything on the screen! Hope this is just a sign of a new product and they fix it shortly with a software update! Lastly I wanna touch on the battery: Amazon says if you read 30m a day and brightness set at 13/24 it would last 10 weeks or 35 hours (CORRECTION: 12 weeks/42 hours) Leaving a side the fact I read much more than 30m a day for a moment… I am noticing the battery going down much faster than I was somehow expecting. Part of this is no doubt caused by me experimenting with it, comparing with the old Kindle, messing with the UI, etc… Part of this is probably also the fact I’ve used the Browser a little bit. I’ve also played with the front light a bit more and possibly left it at 12/24 a bit more while the old Kindle is constantly at 6/24 brightness. However aside from this, I haven’t used it that much and the batter is already down ~30% in barely one day and an half? You do the math… I don’t keep an eye on the old one as much but despite the fact it’s ~11 years old and the battery is sure to be deteriorated it doesn’t seem to go down as fast. But maybe I’m wrong and this is just an impression. I’ll keep an eye on it. Maybe with more normal usage this is a non-issue, or perhaps is caused by some weird software bug. The good news is the USB-C port is AMAZING. Farewell annoying micro-USB cable I need to keep around just for this device or carry with me on holidays. Plus between my GF bedside table phone charger, my laptop or monitor or PS5 I can now charge my new Kindle pretty much wherever. I love it (even tho hopefully I will still not need to charge it that much). It’s enough for first impressions (possibly too much sorry :D). I may update this after I get my nice leather case and I get the chance to use my new Kindle properly for some non-trivial amount of time. Hope this was useful!

Had my old kindle for 12 years and was very happy with it, it has always been reliable and I could not do without it as I am an avid reader specially at night as I have trouble sleeping, recently it has become very slow so I decided to upgrade, I am so glad I did, I am so happy with my new kindle it is fast and has a clear screen that is easy reading, you can change the ambience to suit your eyes, I would certainly recommend it if you are thinking of upgrading and like me need an easy to use reliable source of reading.

I've been reading on Kindles since the Kindle Voyage. Recently upgrading to the new 12th gen Paperwhite, this is by far the best reader I've used. The dark mode combined with warm lighting is a delight for night time reading without disturbing anyone else. It is bright for day reading and perfectly dark for easy on the eyes night time reading. The high resolution display looks like paper. I cannot recommend enough.
