Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32GB – 20% faster with auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and weeks of battery life – Metallic Black + 3 Months Free Kindle Unlimited (with auto-renewal)

I have had my Kindle for over a month, and I am still excited about this Kindle. However, I just saw that it is on sale (Black Friday Deal), and I wanted to cry. It is now $45 less than what I paid (excluding the cost of the charger and case; add another $60 to that $45 (Ouch!)). Then, I had to have a talk with myself, and it went like this: Trinigal, stop being upset! You are fortunate to have purchased a Kindle that works well, and doesn’t have issues (like others who have shared the dissatisfaction with their Kindle). You are still enjoying your reads and always looking forward to your next read. I then chuckled to myself, and said that the title of the next book I select should be: When is the right time to buy a Kindle? My original review is below: This is my first Kindle, so I don’t have any other Kindle to compare it to. I usually read a physical book, books on my Computer, IPad or iPhone. This Kindle makes a difference in my ability to relax while reading a book. It is an awesome device that is portable, light weight, and convenient. Although I like reading on my IPad, it will no longer be my go to device for reading (When you know better, you do better). My house is full of unread books that I bought over the years, and that really bothers me because I just couldn’t find the time to read (being a professor with lots of other academic books to read, I gave those academic books priority over a good novel). Now, I am at the point where I want to read books for relaxation purposes. I chose the Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition as part of my incentive to read a good book. I researched this Kindle for an entire month before investing in it. Let’s get to the workings of the Kindle: This 7 inch Kindle is easy to hold in my hands. The IPad truly strained my hand when I tried to use only one hand when reading. At times, I had to lean the IPad on my thighs for support. Now, there will be no more hand to thighs when reading! The Kindle set up was very easy, and user friendly. I did not experience any problems connecting to the internet. After set up, with bated breath, I waited to see how the pages turned on the Kindle, and if I will find any fault with the action of turning the pages of the book I was reading. I am happy to say there was none; no noticeable long lag time, no problems were experienced with the turning of pages on this Kindle. Then I squinted my eyes, opened my eyes wide, I turned the Kindle upside down, and side to side while turning to the next page of my book; I was trying to see if there will be any trace of the previous page as I turn to the next page ( ghosting; some users experience an imprint of the former page while moving to the next page of their book). Happy to report, I tried hard to find a problem with that but I found none. What about the battery? The battery charged very quickly, and there was no problem during that process. I did charge the battery with the case on the Kindle, (as the picture shows). The Kindle came with an 80% charge and in 30 minutes (or less) it was fully charged (100%). I am hardly ever swayed by reviews: Sometimes reviews work as an incentive, or a deterrent….I always say, try an item out and make your personal decision. This Kindle is a keeper, and I am also going to purchase the new Color Kindle Colorsoft. Conclusion: This Kindle paper white Signature Edition , Gen 12/32 GB, is truly made for reading. It is certainly a handy device for traveling, and reading on the go. It is easy on the eyes, and therefore, easy on the brain. The raspberry color is really nice, and I plan on buying an extra clear case so that I could easily see the vibrant color of the kindle. I am honestly excited to be part of the Kindle family!

I love my kindle paperwhite! It’s easy to use once you learn the gesture controls and where to tap around the edges for certain behaviors. It’s fast and I have selected to refresh with each page because I had some issues with ghosting (this is my first tablet with e-ink display, so still learning the quirks). It’s highly responsive even after I downloaded nearly 150 books onto it! I had a kindle fire over a decade ago and I feel the dedicated e-ink style of the paperwhite is vastly superior for reading. I especially love the warm tone light and find that I can even read in the dark. I use the dyslexia friendly font (built in) and find that it’s very easy to read (and quickly, at that). I can also read in the full dark with no problems! It is a bit expensive for the signature edition, but it feels very high quality for what you get and the wireless charging is easy to use! I do wish these models had speakers so I could listen to audiobooks out loud, but I have the audible app on my phone already, so I’ll likely use that for the majority of audiobook listening. I can also use the speaker with built in wireless charger stand I got for listening while at home! I chose this one over the colorsoft because I don’t read comics often and found the tint of color on the screens wasn’t vibrant enough to justify the price. I’ve included comparison photos of the paperwhite and colorsoft as well as the smaller classic matcha kindle that were on demo at Best Buy. The warm tone light is what won me over from the classic matcha kindle to the paperwhite!

I actually can’t say ENOUGH good things about this! I love reading but didn’t enjoy paying book store pricing, as well as preferred something I could still use in the dark without needing extra lights. I was not expecting the true amount of storage on this either! It’s hard to imagine how much space a single book takes, but I have over 30 books and it’s still not even a dent into my storage! Download speed for books is also insanely fast, like less than a minute for every book i’ve downloaded. The screen has a super fast response, and as someone who uses it for hours and hours everyday, I really only have to charge it maybe once a week max. Its battery life is great! I will say kindle unlimited wasn’t the greatest for me personally, i’d really look into the books available on it before paying for the subscription. However it comes with 3 free months of it so it was great to look at before buying! It’s very light weight and hasn’t caused me any fatigue to my wrists or hands! The color is gorgeous, and it’s such a reliable device! It’s never overheated or had any delays or glitches. Best part is being able to even download books onto it that aren’t on the kindle shop. You can easily look up how to and download external books or fan made books! It’s my favorite purchase ever and has gotten me to read so much in such a short amount of time. I’ve finished almost 20 books in a month! I truly recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading but doesn’t want/need to have to have physical copies for their books!

This is probably my fourth Kindle Paperwhite tablet. The tablets are lightweight and make it easy to take them with you on the go. I always have something interesting with me to read because I have hundreds of books in my Kindle library that I can access on the Paperwhite. Or I can choose to purchase or borrow new books. When working properly, I don't experience the glitchiness that I can with other devices. It's got all the advantages of a physical book without the disadvantages. There are no interruptions like when I read on my phone or multi-purpose tablets. It's very relaxing. I like that I have an array of choices for reading with my Paperwhite. I can read with natural light or with a lamp with no backlight on, or adjust the brightness of the backlight all the way up to reading in the dark with a strong backlight. Using a lamp and no backlight, I don't have to worry that my sleep will be disturbed by exposure to blue light. And it's less irritating to my dry, sensitive eyes then a phone or multi-purpose tablet. On the other hand, the light in the environment around me is never too dim for me to read on my Kindle Paperwhite. After two-four years the Paperwhite tablets starts slowing down, not responding quickly and accurately to touch commands, doesn't download or open books easily, doesn't navigate well between the book I'm reading, the library, and home, skips multiple pages instead of just turning one page, to the point that it's too frustrating to use. Then I purchase another one. I love to read in peace and it's well worth the money for the stress relief.

I have left my original review at the end of this edit, out of hubris. I have since learned how to properly manage my new Paperwhite with the help of Grok AI. At first setup of my Paperwhite, it appeared as though it had downloaded all 625 books my wife and I share. It turns out, it had downloaded the titles and icons as placeholders or reminders for me to choose which books I wanted on my Paperwhite. With the help of Grok, I learned the VERY easy trick of creating a Collection in which I could download and put the books currently on my reading list. When I say easy, I mean easy. I now have the 20-some books I regularly read and use as my visible and simple to manage Library. So elegant! So, a real review. First of all, so light and easy to hold. Impossibly thin. How do they do that? Then the screen, a beautiful glare resistant and clear screen, readable in all indoor light, including by a sunny window. I had bought a case for this Kindle, but I find the naked Kindle nicer to hold. I have a discovered the double-tap, which lets me turn the page with a light double tap of my finger on the back of the Kindle, which I can do without moving my hand or changing my grip. So much more convenient than swiping to tapping the screen. This Paperwhite replaces my Oasis, which had buttons on the side of the screen that served as page-turners. I greatly prefer the double tap on the back of my Paperwhite to the buttons on my Oasis. I did my morning reading with my new Kindle, about two hours, and found the experience super comfortable, easy and convenient. I charge my Paperwhite on a stand, which works great, and with the supplied cable (which now has the same plug port as my iPhone, making one cable work for both), and found both easy and convenient. I have decided not to get a screen protector, and I will use a slip or slide cover for travelling, rather than the traditional book case. I could go on and on. I super like this Kindle, now that I know how to use it properly. I will leave my original review at the end here, so the reader can see that my problems arose entirely from innocent ignorance. If setting this Kindle up as a replacement, consider using one of the several AI assistants available on line to walk through the process hand in hand. My original review: My Oasis has begun to die, and so I bought a Paperwhite to replace it. When I registered my new Paperwhite, it downloaded ALL of my books and my wife's books. 645 books. I have talked to Kindle support, and I will need to remove my wife's books, one by one, manually. No other option exists. I can't even find my own books in the clutter to move them to top of the grid. A serious flaw, and Kindle support has made me feel as if I did it to myself. I will now spend I don't know how many hours trying to make this Paperwhite usable. Shame on Amazon.

This is my first ever kindle and it has been an... experience. I got the signature edition. First, I love that I can visit the kindle store and my own amazon wish list that has all of my books. I don't know if that was just something all kindles have or what but it's really cool! And don't even get me started on the size; it's perfect for traveling and such, so you can truly read your favorite books anywhere. The digital storage? Love it! I have about 70 books on this thing and I'm not even scratching the surface of the storage! It's very convenient and extremely easy to set up. I'd say the money was worth it for sure, and the price seems reasonable when you start reading. I got the black kindle and I really like the sleek look of it. The selection of colors? Truly astounding and very fashionable. Amazon really knows how to make an aesthetic device! It's not too laggy and really, the only issue I've had with it is pairing my T21 earbuds to listen to my audio books. That's a bit frustrating, but I'll be looking into that soon. The AI recap is very useful, so I've heard. I don't typically need the refresher, but if I ever do, it's there! Everything is easy to access on the kindle and I think the set up is genius! The dictionary on there, which I discovered last night when I was using the feature to view what a word meant, is amazing! You don't have to pause to look it up or anything! You just simply highlight the word and it gives you the definition automatically. You can even view all the words you've ever needed to look up! Overall, I'd say the kindle is worth the money and easy to use, even if you're not familiar with it. I would recommend this as a gift to any reader.

I bought the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB) as a gift for my wife, and it has been one of the best purchases I've made. She uses it every single day, and it has truly turned reading into her favorite hobby. The screen is easy on the eyes, the battery lasts a long time, and the automatic brightness adjustment makes it comfortable to read anywhere, whether during the day or at night. The 32GB storage gives her more than enough space for all her books, and the overall experience is smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a gift for someone who loves to read or wants to read more I highly recommend this Kindle. It's worth every penny. I am now thinking in getting one for myself.

I wasn’t sure if I would like this. I have always had iPads and I still do but my current one is large and I wanted something smaller to read on. It didn’t make sense to get another iPad because I didn’t want to get rid of my current one, so I decided to try the Kindle Paperwhite and I love it!! It’s easy to use and I can read outside without glare. When I turned it on for the first time it automatically connected to my WiFi and Amazon Kindle account. When I touch the screen it is nicely responsive and the touch sensitivity is perfect. I truly recommend this product.
