Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite 8 GB - Now with a 6.8" display and adjustable warm light - 2021 - Black

A really nifty device. It’s small and fits great in my small hands. I really like how fast it is. I have an older model kindle paperwhite and this one blows that one out of the water. It’s just like reading a book. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a kindle.

This is an excellent update to my 2018 Kindle Paperwhite. Pros: It has a larger screen than the previous generation. It uses USB-C to charge which means I can use the same cord for my iPad mini and this device. The warmth light feature is something I absolutely adore. I included a picture with the warmth turned all the way up on the new kindle at 15 percent brightness and my 2018 kindle at 15 percent brightness. It makes a huge difference to my reading enjoyment. But never fear you can turn it off if you hate it. The device speed is WAY snappier. This is my 3rd paperwhite and I was so disappointed that the 2018 model moved so slowly. While my computer and tablet are still way faster there is a notable increase in the speed at which my books open and the pages turn. This decreased the time it took to add my books to collections as well. Cons: it’s heavier and larger than the previous model. It’s not enough to be a deal breaker. In fact, I love the screen size, and it actually fits more comfortably in my hand. The on button is still at the bottom. While I rarely accidentally turn my kindle off due to the case I use, some users do find this really annoying. I still miss the text to speech feature that my original kindle had. I prefer reading over listening to books but sometimes when I have to be on the move or when I’m cooking it’s a nice feature to be able to turn on. But again, this feature has been missing on several generations of kindles now and I still love them. Also, it does not come with a wall adapter. It just has the cord. I have plenty of adapters but it is worth noting for those who do not. Overall, this is a huge upgrade from my 2018 paperwhite model. The speed increase alone makes it worth the upgrade. But the added ability to change the warmth and the USB-C charging capabilities are just icing on the cake. If you haven’t upgraded in awhile or even if you have recently picked up the previous model, this model is still worth the upgrade in my opinion.

This is the best Kindle eReader out there, even better than my Kindle Oasis 2019. The screen of this Paperwhite 2021 is slightly larger at 6.8 compared to the previous 6" Paperwhite and smaller than the 7" of the Oasis. Yet, I felt that the Paperwhite 2021 is far superior in that it has a faster processor (page turns and responsiveness are really quick on this model). But the best feature yet is the Warm Light setting, and worth updating from the older Paperwhite or the Oasis 2017. The ease on the eyes are really noticeable and even the text is still very sharp and crisp. I was a little annoyed that this model does not have the wireless charging or a higher storage. For those features, you have to upgrade to the Signature edtion. Also, the rubber back is a fingerprint magnet. I placed a popsocket on the back for easier holding with one hand (I have small hands). Overall, this is the best Kindle eReader to date and now I'm considering getting rid of my Oasis.

I love reading books, but like them in Russian language, so it’s very hard and expensive to find and buy them here. I was thinking between regular Kindle and Paperwhite. Choose this one because it’s bigger and had much more positive reviews. I have had it for over than a month and I’m so happy. Already read 8 books. I downloaded a lot of books, different fonts. There are so many things you can do to make your reading comfortable. I also found free websites for downloading books. It’s so much cheaper and easier to read now. My eyes are not tired. I have to charge it once per 2 month!! So grateful for having Kindle Paperwhite in my life ❤️

Upgraded from my Paperwhite Gen 10 and IM IN LOVE! Better response when you touch the screen, better backlight, and the screen size increase makes ALL the difference!

I’m loving my Kindle. I always thought that I’d rather have the actual book. I still read regular books, but I love that I can sit outside and read or grab when we set out for the day. It is easy to handle and very light weight. I’ve tried to read off my iPad, but I always was drawn away with the notifications. I didn’t like the distractions. I realized that I needed the kindle on a recent vacation. I’d finished the books I brought with me. I couldn’t see to read on my iPad. I really needed the kindle then.

This is my 3rd Kindle Paperwhite. With each one that Ipurchased, Kindle has improved and given more options. I was pleased with the options for changing the background to a warmer, less glare option. In the past I’ve always had to continue turning the brightness down, but know with the warmer background it makes it much more comfortable to read. I am very pleased with this purchase.

When our previous Kindle Paperwhite died after many years of faithful service, this seemed like the natural replacement. Takes some getting used to as the display is larger, and the touch feels a bit different as far as turning pages and things, but it's the best of the available Kindles in my opinion. Just enough features to justify the price... not too fancy...not too basic. It's just right.
