Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024 model) – Auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging and weeks of battery life – 32 GB – Without Ads - Metallic Jade

After my trusted 6th Gen Paperwhite finally started slowing down I opted to trade it in and upgrade to a Paperwhite Signature and so far I’m really impressed with the model.It comes with a usb cord but nothing else. This is all you need to get going and use it, but it doesn’t come with any wireless charging options as the dock is sold separately (though I have found the older model dock still works with this version and it a much cheaper option to buy).The overall look is really sleek and attractive. There’s no real difference to that compared to the older models and the screen increase in size is so slight it’s not really noticeable.The screen is larger than some of e-readers (including the basic kindle) but I prefer this slightly larger size screen as I find it easy to read. The device is a good size for me too and I can still hold it and turn the page with one hand. It’s still smaller than the majority of paperback books , and way lighter!It’s actually very light in weight and doesn’t make my arms ache in bed at all. You can hardly feel it in your hand when it doesn’t have a case on and I don’t think I can really feel the weight difference in this and the basic kindle.The screen is super clear and crisp and I can easily read it. The page turning is quick and I’ve found there’s little to no lag.The main store and Home Screen is also quick and easy to navigate.The main reason I opted for the signature over the normal paperwhite was the automatic brightness adjustment and I’m really happy with that choice. The screen adjusts quickly in changing lights and subtly enough that it’s not even really noticeable as you read. It’s great when I’m reading in the car as I don’t have to keep adjusting it myself when the sun goes in and out etc.when it’s bright in the room no brightness is needed on the device at all and as it gets darker I’ve found I only really need the brightness up to 10 at most (but mainly keep it at 8). The fact it goes up to 24 it great but that does run your battery out a lot more quickly, and I honestly don’t need it that bright at all.The warmth adjustment is nice too and gives you the option to have it cooler or warmer in colour. This isn’t automatic, but I generally don’t change it once I have it set up.It does come with 32gb of storage as well so I don’t have to worry about removing each book after reading it as I have plenty of room for them all.So far I haven’t had it long enough to really test the battery but it seems to hold it really well and though I read a lot more than the 30 minutes a day I can tell this charge will still last weeks.Overall it’s obviously a huge improvement from my old 6th gen paperwhite, and I’m glad I opted for the signature for the auto adjusting back light and the option to wireless charge.I’d definitely recommend it as an upgrade to older models!

I decided to upgrade my paperwhite gen 10 for my birthday. I wasn’t sure whether it would be worth it but the difference is night and day! The screen on the signature edition is bigger and so much clearer and looks just like a page from a paper book. The auto adjusting light is brilliant- no having to pause reading to change settings. It’s comfortable to hold despite being bigger. It’s so fast in comparison to the gen 10. I was literally reading within 5 minutes and that included an update and syncing with my account (with a ridiculous amount of books!)Wireless charging is a great additional feature and the metallic jade is so pretty! You also get the bonus of no ads included..If you are considering an upgrade or buying a kindle for the first time, I would strongly recommend the extra £30 for the signature edition.

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. I used to think I preferred physical books, but after using this Kindle, my reading time has increased significantly. The screen is incredibly easy on the eyes, even during long reading sessions, and the adjustable warm light makes reading at night very comfortable.The battery life is outstanding. I hardly ever have to think about charging it. The device is lightweight, responsive, and comfortable to hold with one hand for extended periods. The waterproof design is an added bonus and gives extra peace of mind.The Signature Edition features like wireless charging, 32 GB of storage, and automatic brightness adjustment make it feel truly premium. The display is sharp, page turns are fast, and the overall reading experience is simply excellent.If you’re on the fence about buying a Kindle, I’d say go for it. It has completely changed the way I read, and I only wish I had bought one sooner. Highly recommended!

Update: So after having this kindle for a week, I just couldn’t get on with it. Something wasn’t right with it. It did still have minor ghosting but the text seemed unclear. It was a strain. I called Amazon who offered replacement because I couldn’t accept refund due to a discount code I used and wouldn’t get back! Replacement came and I was stunned at how much worse it was compared to mine. I have attached photos where you can clearly see the same brightness settings but the replacement has a yellow screen without the warmth on!! 3rd try, phoned amazon again who didn’t really understand what I was talking about but sent me another replacement. This 3rd kindle made everything fall into place. It was white. I hadn’t realised that my original was grey. Text was crisper and ghosting not a thing. It’s pretty much perfect.It disappoints me that Amazon haven’t got this right. They did not push out a consistent product and should have recalled them. I will also warn you that Amazon will send you a replacement but it will be REFURBISHED as this is part of their warranty agreement. This to me is a bit of a joke given that I bought brand new and am keeping a second hand one. I have agreed to this because it’s better than my original and I know it can’t be older than October but I think it’s shoddy. It really is pot luck on the quality of what kindle you receive. I have left the 5 stars because I love my new (refurbished) kindle. But Amazon as a company get 2 stars now.3rd photo is my original with 1st replacement4th photo original(top) 1st replacement then last replacement which I kept.Original review:Received this for Xmas (which I arranged)! Got it for a great price, Black Friday PLUS traded in my old paper white 5th gen so got an extra 20% off. I went for the SE version for the auto light adjust. I really wanted the colorsoft but have been closely monitoring the reviews and I just wasn’t prepared to risk it. I had also been closely monitoring the reviews of this kindle too. The main faults being a yellow hue, dead pixels or ghosting. I will say that researching is good but in my case I over did it and so…When I opened this on Xmas morning the very first thing I did was QC myself, probably better than what Amazon have been doing! I was looking for the faults and to my despair it had bad ghosting. I was so disappointed. I could clearly see the book covers in the background of the next page. I did call Amazon and their robot told me they wouldn’t replace as they’re out of stock but I had time to request for exchange so I left it.There was a software update but I had to do this manually which is very easy to do, as it wasn’t showing on my kindle yet. I had also researched ghosting and apparently this is normal for any eink display (within reason) I just didn’t remember my old one doing this.For whatever reason my kindle is FINE now. The ghosting seems to have settled. This might be because it’s been sitting in its box a long time and now it’s being used it’s ok. It could have something to do with the update but I don’t think so. Yes, there is very minor ghosting now but I really have to look for it otherwise I wouldn’t notice. I wish I had read a review which said “it might be ok after a few hours use” which is why I wanted to leave this here! Bad form from Amazon for all the kindle issues, I assume they wanted it pushed out for Black Friday before Xmas but that’s just not good enough for these expensive devices.Things I love on this kindle are the warm light. Makes such a difference if you’ve never had it. The auto adjust. Love that I can go to bed and it just sorts itself out in the darkness. Dark mode is cool. The colour (jade) beautiful. Page turn animations are fancy and it is super speedy. I can actually search for a book in the store without waiting a whole minute for each letter to catch up!My only con is their current reputation!Hope this helps some people because I really love mine now. I have included some photos of the ghosting I was seeing but this has resolved!

When my Kindle Oasis battery packed in (and wasn't replaceable?!) I struggled to find a replacement I wanted. I originally bought the Kobo Libra Colour - which has a lot going for it. It's possible to sync books from across multiple sellers via Google Drive, it has physical page turn buttons, it has a pen for note taking... but (and I think this is a criticism of all colour ereaders, not just Kobo) the screen is too dark to use without the frontlight on, and that's no good for me.I went for this as I wanted a 7" screen - the perfect size for an ereader, I reckon. And it's good - the screen is clear and bright, even without a frontlight, the battery life is excellent. It's a shame that Amazon try to stop you using UK libraries, but this can be worked around with Calibre, which you can also use to load your owned books from other sellers.Also, with the latest update, you can double tap the back of the reader to turn pages, which isn't as good as a physical button, but is something.Unfortunately, there is no sync with Google Drive or similar, no Pocket sync and it is a bit expensive for what it is, but for 7" readers, there's still probably no better alternative.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Best purchase I've made this year. Super fast page turning and navigation around the kindle features. Downloads books quickly. Great to read in the dark to adjust the light. Fits perfectly in my hand. Long lasting battery. Great value.

My very 1st Kindle, and I'm super happy with it.It small enough to take anywhere, bus, car, wherever you want to use it, touch sensitivity is great being able to go forward & back with ease, especially the double-tap on the back to turn a page, it's easy to use, no messing about, connected to my WIFI with ease, and hasn't had any issues, and the readability of it is excellent, you can make the text different sizes if needed..Can't say much for the reliability, it just works right up until it doesn't I guess, battery life is amazing for my use.

Bought this Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32 Gb as part of a bundle with a cover and cordless charger, as I felt that the battery on my Kindle Oasis was draining more frequently and required to be charged more often!It’s not cheap, even with the discounts Amazon gave with the bundle, but if you read regularly, or daily in my case, it’s a very worthwhile investment!Astounding battery life, currently at 96% after 6 hours reading, so can’t comment on the efficiency of the cordless charger yet, but I like the look and feel of the case in the bundle. Great choice of settings including an option for the kindle to adapt the lighting automatically to changing reading environments.Lovely clear tactile screen which is not affected in any way by me fitting a screen protector to the kindle! Which is something I would highly recommend to protect your significant investment and reduce glare on sunny days.I like the size and weight, it feels solidly constructed and I’ve no problem holding it with one hand.The jury is still out on the lack of ‘page turn button’ like those on my Oasis, but the pages turn quickly when the screen is touched and I like the solid click for the on/off switch.Overall I’m really enjoying reading when using the kindle as the screen is very clear and IMHO the right size, I also love that it is waterproof, which adds another level of protection.Highly recommended!

Just buy it. Paperwhite SE last edition is best kindle out there.I read almost 2000 pages in 2 weeks, I use it to learn German by reading 1500 pages of stories written in simpler progressive German with included tap dictionary and translation wikipedia built-in is nice, just one tap on word, I read Alan Poe, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Plato... I did not read a non-technical book in 15 years. My brain loves it.I replaced movie screen before sleep with Kindle and I get to sleep little sooner and have better sleep quality.I would recommend Paperwhite SE over Colorsoft, in all videos Colorsoft have massive blur when compared to Paperwhite, on Paperwhite SE text is crisp.I would recommend it even over basic because of size, Paperwhite SE is perfect for pocket while not being too small and has great dark mode and night orange light.

I’m very happy with this Kindle. The screen is clear and comfortable to read, even for long periods of time. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and very convenient for reading in bed or while traveling. Books are easy to download and organize, and the battery lasts a long time. A great device for anyone who reads a lot.

Sono una lettrice accanita e arrivavo da un Kindle Oasis, che ho sempre adorato, quindi le mie aspettative erano davvero alte. Devo dire che il Paperwhite mi ha conquistata!Lo schermo è bellissimo, nitido e piacevole da leggere in qualsiasi condizione di luce, anche sotto il sole. L’illuminazione regolabile è fantastica, la risposta ai comandi è veloce e la batteria ha un’autonomia eccezionale.All’inizio pensavo che avrei sentito la mancanza dei tasti fisici dell’Oasis, invece mi sono abituata subito. È leggero, maneggevole e comodissimo da portare ovunque.Leggo tantissimo e per me il Kindle è ormai indispensabile. Non pensavo fosse facile sostituire il mio amato Oasis, ma questo Paperwhite è riuscito a sorprendermi! Un acquisto che rifarei senza pensarci due volte!

Decir que estoy contenta es quedarse corta. Vengo de un Kindle de décima generación y noto muchísimo la diferencia, algo que no me esperaba, noto mucha más calidad en la pantalla, más nitidez, además de que la pantalla de una pulgada más la noto, vaya si la noto, es muchísimo mejor que la anterior, es para mí el tamaño perfecto. La velocidad es sorprendentemente, el paso de páginas es instantáneo y en el menú también es muy rápido. Me alegra haber elegido el Signature edition ya que la luz automática es muy cómoda, no me tengo que preocupar de estar cambiando la luz. La luz cálida me encanta, ya ni hago uso del modo oscuro prefiero esta, mis ojos lo agradecen mucho, tiene opción de programarse automáticamente para que se ponga al amanecer o al atardecer o también en el horario que prefieras, fabuloso. No paro de leer, de conseguir libros y que se descargen de forma muy rápida. Sin duda es mi mejor compra del año. El único problema va a ser volver al papel después de esta increíble experiencia con mi Kindle Signature, es tan cómodo que no puedo parar. Y comento que no he tenido el problema de la sombra amarilla que se comenta en algunas opiniones, no sé si Amazon ya hizo un cambio en las pantallas y pudo eliminar este fallo, yo no lo tengo en mi Kindle.

Magiskt att kunna sitta ute i fullt solsken och läsa.
