Customer Ratings & Reviews

Im an avid reading and had been using the 2024 Paperwhite, this new version is just a bit more crisp and fast. The addition of the sea glass green color is also a huge plus, this is my fave color. The specs may not be very different but I’m so happy with my purchase, I would highly recommend!

I preordered this Seaglass Green 2026 Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for delivery. It was shipped as promised and I received it on the release date. I’m so thankful that I ordered it through Best Buy as I know that people who preordered through other venders got their readers days after release. The seaglass green color is great. It tends more toward sage than a mint type color. The aluminum cover is nice looking. Downloads have been fairly quick and seamless through Kindle and Libby. Connection to my wireless earbuds (AirPods) has been reliable. Since this is my first e-reader, getting used to the control panels/settings has been interesting but not bad. It is a bit heavier than I was expecting and even heavier with a case. I tried the magnetic thin case and was disappointed in the strength of the magnet on the back of the reader. My reader fell out of the case. I do like that I can tap the back/side to change pages. Three brightness is quite dim and there is light bleed through around the edges. Battery life is advertised to last up to 12 weeks. It doesn’t last nearly that long, even in airplane mode, if you read more than 30 minutes a day. If you like Kindle, this is a fine e-reader but for $250, I would suggest looking at one of the less expensive options. FYI- It does NOT come with a USB-C charging cord or block. So, make sure you have on handy when you get it because it doesn’t have a full charge out of the box. My opinion on this is neutral even though I really wanted to love it and was excited to receive it. I’m still considering returning it.

I absolutely love my new kindle. I have read 3 books since my purchase!

I prefer the 2024 version. This one is just too heavy for me.
