Worth the Upgrade!
Upgraded from the Kindle Paperwhite 2015, 7th Gen, and the difference is honestly amazing! It’s so much faster, lightweight, and comfortable to hold while reading. The adjustable warm light is good for late night reading. Dark mode is a noticeable plus. I also love how the screen sits flush with the frame as compared to my old kindle Adding books is easy, and type C charging is a nice upgrade too. The battery life is amazing, one charge lasted over three months, even with constant reading! Overall, really happy with this upgrade and new features. Edit: After the new software update, battery does drain a little faster but still lasts over a month.

Absolutely worth it, whether upgrading or getting for the first time!
This kindle truly surpassed my expectations. I upgraded from a 7th gen Kindle Paperwhite (2015) and I have to say that it's so amazing compared to my older Kindle. The display is so much larger in person and the new paperwhite is somehow lighter! The battery so far seems decent, it's really easy to buy and download books. I would 100% recommend this kindle to someone who has never had one. It really reduces the friction of reading a book and makes you enjoy it a lot more. The device is very light, thin and is perfectly portable with a nice crisp display and backlight in yellow and white too, but would recommend a case as it can probably get scratched easily.

Upgrade that is worth it
I’ve been contemplating about upgrading to the latest Paperwhite for several weeks. My old standard Kindle 10th generation is alive and well, even the battery still lasts weeks. I was trying to be e-waste cognizant, thinking that I don’t really need to change, etc. But with the Thanksgiving promotion, I decided to pull the trigger. … Feels like a step-change! Haven’t noticed any drawbacks yet, frankly. Despite some reviews I did not notice any un-uniformity of the light. Warm light is a huge difference for you eyes if you like to read in the dark. The loading speed and page turning finally feels like more or less modern technology, not the XX-century. It’s swift, almost no delay and even has slight animation). Wireless charging! You can now charge almost everything on the single q-charger. USB-C is also there and charges very fast, mine went from 41% to 87% in ~20 minutes. The screen is noticeably crisper, pictures are finally pictures, not a blurred grey spot. Oh, and don’t worry about the size-the difference is there, but I’d call it negligible. I went for the Signature edition, as the price difference is not that high. If you’re still hesitating, don’t! You won’t regret it!

Honest review
I really like it! Started reading lots of books after I bought it which is good for people who get bored from books. Only problem is the updates, which might be annoying as some of them have bugs. Overall its good:)

Exactamente lo que necesitas para: LEER !
Un kindle que sustituyó sobradamente mi antiguo dispositivo que ya no recibe actualizaciones. Mejoró la interfaz, velocidad, capacidad, visualización y tecnología. Creo que volveré a disfrutarlo varios años sin duda alguna cubrirá perfectamente mi necesidad de: leer libros, muchos !, más baratos ! en un solo dispositivo, más ligero, con mayor duración de batería y que cuida más mi vista !, que importa que tecnologías vengan en el futuro, mientras Kindle mantenga su conectividad del dispositivo a la tienda, lo demás sale sobrando. Además la funda es bonita y agradable al tacto, muy satisfecho con esta compra y la oferta con la cual lo adquirí.

Faster reaction time when turning to the next page
For me, has clearer text compared, and faster reaction time when turning to the next page compared to the Kobo Libra Colour. The only downsides I can think of are 1) no Overdrive app that could have allowed me to borrow from our public library, and 2) not colored, which I don't mind because most ebooks I read don't have pictures anyway. Long battery life. Bought it during this year's Amazon Prime Day Sale so I got a good discount. Highly recommended to those who like to read or those who want to pick up the hobby of reading. :)

Avaliação – Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Avaliação – Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Depois de alguns dias de uso, posso dizer que o Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition superou completamente as minhas expectativas. A tela é extremamente confortável para leitura, mesmo por horas seguidas, e a iluminação automática faz toda a diferença, adaptando o brilho conforme o ambiente. A leitura fica muito mais agradável, tanto de dia quanto à noite. A bateria é excelente e dura semanas, mesmo com uso frequente. Outro ponto que gostei muito foi a rapidez do aparelho, que abre os livros quase instantaneamente e torna a experiência muito fluida. O armazenamento é mais do que suficiente para quem gosta de ter uma biblioteca inteira sempre à disposição, e o carregamento sem fio é um bônus interessante. Para quem ama ler, considero um investimento que realmente vale a pena. Desde que comprei o meu Kindle, passei a dedicar muito mais tempo aos livros e, naturalmente, deixei as redes sociais um pouco de lado. A experiência de leitura é prática, confortável e muito prazerosa. Sem dúvidas, foi uma das melhores compras que fiz.

紙のような見やすさと目の疲れにくさに感動!買ってよかった!!
初めてのE-Ink端末でしたが、実際に使ってみて見やすさに感動! 今までスマホやタブレットで読んでいましたが、液晶とは表示の雰囲気がかなり違い、本当に紙へ印刷された文字を読んでいるような感覚です。 正面からだけでなく、斜めや横など、どの角度から見ても文字が見やすいです。寝転がって本体の角度が変わっても見え方が大きく崩れないため、楽な姿勢で読書できます。明るい場所でも画面が反射して見えにくくなりにくく、窓際や屋外ではむしろ文字がはっきり見えました。スマホは日差しの下だと輝度を上げても見づらいことがありますが、Kindle Paperwhiteはそのようなストレスが少ないです。 スマホで長時間本を読むと目が疲れやすかったのですが、こちらは今のところ読んでも目の重さを感じにくく、読書に集中できました。メールやSNSの通知が入らないため、つい別のアプリを開いてしまうことも地味に良かった点です。最初は「読書専用端末を使う意味ある?」と思っていましたが、実際に触ってみて良さがよく分かりました。 7インチ画面は小説を読むのにちょうどよく、文字を少し大きくしても一画面に十分な文章量を表示できます。ページめくりも思っていたより速く、電子ペーパー特有の切り替わりはあるものの、小説を読み進めるうえではほとんど気になりません。 注意点として、やはり高性能スマホやタブレットと比べると動作はもっさり感があります。スリープのONOFFなんかはワンテンポ遅くて最初は慣れが必要かも。 あと画面はモノクロなのでカラー漫画や写真の多い雑誌には向きません。あと薄くて軽いですが、7インチなのでバンガーリングなどがあるとより持ちやすくなるかもなので、一緒に購入するのをオススメ。 初めてのE Ink端末でしたが、明るい場所での見やすさ、視野角の広さ、目の疲れにくさは期待以上でした。小説やビジネス書を長時間読む人には、スマホとはまったく違う快適さを実感できる端末だと思います。読書専用端末として文句なしの★5!
