Also, services like OverDrive and Libby let you borrow ebooks from public libraries.Īmazon uses the same menus and navigation across all Kindle models, so Kindle owners will find it familiar. Either way, because ebooks you've previously purchased are stored in the cloud, you can re-download at any time. When you purchase a Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon, you also have the option to link it to your Amazon account in advance, so that it's set up upon arrival.
Setup is still incredibly simple: Make sure it's charged (via the included USB-C cable), power it on, connect it to WiFi, and log into an Amazon account to start buying and downloading books. The Kindle Paperwhite is easy to set up: Just power it on, connect it to a WiFi network, and log into an Amazon account. If you have a large library of books or other digital content, Amazon offers the Paperwhite Signature for $50 more, an upgraded version with 32GB of storage, wireless charging, no-ad lockscreen, and auto-adjusting front light The base Paperwhite comes with 8GB of storage, which should be plenty for most people. Unfortunately, there's no headphone jack, but if reading is your primary pleasure, that shouldn't matter. Bluetooth is available for connecting to wireless audio devices, like headphones and portable speakers. To download books or access the internet, WiFi is your only option as there's no cellular connectivity. Otherwise, it's a basic-looking device with few physical buttons. It's also now waterproof and more rugged, so you can take it poolside or on the beach. The device is thin (0.32 inches) and lightweight (7.23 ounces), and has the dimensions (6.9 x 4.9 inches) of a small paperback, with a textured backing and bezel around the screen to hold onto. Even changing fonts and other settings are done quickly. Some touchscreen e-readers have a lag time between tapping the screen and the page-turning, but this is not an issue with the Paperwhite.
The Paperwhite is very responsive to page-turning, which uses an onscreen gesture instead of physical buttons. The adjustable brightness has 24 settings, but I found that keeping it on 13 (which is Amazon's recommended setting) is perfect during the day and at night. The 2021 Paperwhite's larger 6.8-inch touchscreen is a nice improvement over the 2018 model's 6-inch screen, and the 17 LED front lights and 300-ppi-resolution make it the crispest-looking e-reader screen I've read on. To turn a page, you tap on the screen instead of pressing a button. The latest version has a larger screen that's bright and crisp for easier reading. Like all Kindle ereaders, the Paperwhite has a minimalist design with few buttons.
