amazon kindle paperwhite 10th generation

The home screen shows you three of your books along with a row of recommendations at the bottom. If you have used the Voyage or the Oasis (red our review of the Oasis here) in the past, then you should feel at home with the UI. Being able to invert black and white colours is a nice option for those that want it and overall, the Kindle Paperwhites display is functional for what it is meant to do, give a good reading experience. The pixel density makes the text sharp, the brightness works well for sunlight reading and pitch darkness. Overall, the display of the new Kindle Paperwhite is a treat to read on. is comfortable to type on and responsive to the touch. The QWERTY keyboard layout to search for books, enter your Wi-Fi password, etc.

The Kindle has a touchscreen which is very responsive with no lag whatsoever. This is a feature that many will appreciate as it helps with reading in the dark.

A feature that has translated from its more expensive siblings is the ability to invert the black and white colours. So, when you transition from reading in sunlight to the darkness of your bedroom, you will have to manually adjust the brightness. There is no light sensor to adjust the brightness automatically which is a bummer. The 6-inch display has a pixel density of 300ppi along with 5 LEDs to give you a bright uniform reading experience. It is crisp and bright which is what matters.

The 6-inch Kindle Paperwhite has a fantastic e-ink display. The 2018 Paperwhite looks and feels just like its predecessor with water resistance being the biggest change. If you are one that will take this to the swimming pool with you or would like to read in the bathtub, then you can rest easy that the device won’t get spoilt if accidentally dropped in water. It is IPX8 rated, which means it can survive up to 60 minutes in water 2 meters deep. The biggest change with the new Paperwhite is that it is waterproof. Not sure how it would have affected the cost of the device, but it would have been nice to have. You will use the touchscreen display to turn the pages and I find myself wishing it has the page turners on the bezel like the Kindle Voyage. When it comes to the design the new Paperwhite is indistinguishable from its predecessor which is by no means a bad thing. That said, I highly recommend you keep it in a case for longevity. The display feels like it can withstand more than a few scratches and for the week I’ve been using it, I haven’t scratched the display. At the bottom you have the microUSB port along with the power button and that’s it.

It isn’t very heavy and can find place even in a jacket pocket. On the front you have the 6-inch display, with thick borders all around and in the race to make devices bezel less, I am happy that the Paperwhite has bezels as it makes the Kindle easier to hold for prolonged reading. The e-reader has a plastic back with a rubberized finish which gives it a good grip. No support for 5GHz Wi-Fi Build and designĬompact and sturdy are the first things that come to mind when you hold the new Kindle Paperwhite. If you need a case (and I recommend it) you will have to invest in it separately. In the box you get the Kindle Paperwhite along with a charging cable and the quick starter guide.
