The Paperwhtie (2021) is the first Kindle to use a USB-C port, only it doesn’t charge that much faster. If you read more vociferously than that, you will need to charge more often, but even then, it won’t take long. It rates battery life at up to 10 weeks based on 30 minutes per day. There are a good 17 LED lights illuminating the screen, and those extra lights mean you get both blue and warm lighting, where the latter makes it easier to read in low-light or nighttime.Īmazon also boosted battery life to more than double its predecessor’s.

For starters, Amazon increased the E Ink screen size from 6-inches to 6.8-inches-without making the device larger. It would be better to compare this to the 2018 model because that’s where you see more glaring contrasts. Same dimensions, same weight, same look and feel. Beyond those three things, the two versions are the same. The Kindle Paperwhite charges faster via a cable, and extra storage only becomes a factor when you need to add a lot of content to the device. At least I assume you won’t if you’re not looking for those things. The difference between them is that the Signature model comes with 32GB of storage, auto brightness for the screen and wireless charging support.ĭespite missing those three features, I don’t think you will notice. I reviewed the standard basic model, but there’s also a Signature variant. It certainly feels that way with this one, though I am puzzled as to why Amazon split it into two versions. The more years pass, the bigger the differences you come to see with any eReader.
DOES KINDLE FIRE OR PAPERWHITE HAVE A BRIGHTER SCREEN FULL
Amazon gives its ‘middle child’ eReader a nice update, making the Kindle Paperwhite (2021) the better option when it comes to getting full value.Īmazon last launched a Paperwhite model in 2018, firmly planting it in the middle between the company’s entry-level Kindle, and the high-end Kindle Oasis.
