ALL NEW 2024 Kindle Paperwhite Review | Is it Worth Upgrading?

[@BlazerManiacNumber96]

Dunno about whether it’s worth upgrading, but as somebody who’s never had an E-reader, I’m super excited to jump in here. Mine should be arriving today

[@MrJohnnytheone]

I got the basic Kindle and love it. I love the smaller size, I can carry it in my pocket anywhere

[@chelsea8082]

I’ll be getting the raspberry one and I can’t wait! I had a nook when I was younger and loved it so I’m super excited to get a kindle

[@adriennehuss503]

Got my kindle last year because of your videos and it’s the best thing ever. Thank you for your honest videos!

[@pamelavannest1657]

As a person whose eyesight is failing (Age Related Macular degeneration), it would really help me if there were even larger fonts. Right now, I am at the next to the largest font available on paperwhite and scribe. Very worrying that I only have one more step up. I can of course use the kindle app on iPad, but I find that the kindle e-readers are much easier on my eyes. Since I typically read about 200+ books per year, this is a very big deal to me.

That's the fastest and smoothest scrolling I've ever seen on an e-ink screen!

[@j.p.m.3541]

I was waiting for Amazon’s new releases to replace my old 7th generation Paperwhite… but after seeing what was presented and the launch prices… I went ahead and bought a Kobo Libra Colour. Definitely, no one offers so much for so little… €180 in Europe… Kindle Paperwhite is €199, Kindle Colorsoft is €300... without the ability to take notes, connect to Drive, Dropbox, Pocket… no connection to eBiblio (public library system), Asymmetrical, with physical buttons, 7” screen and it’s light... it has everything. Right now in Europe, the Kobo Libra colour at that price has no possible rival. By the way, thanks to your video on how to transfer books from Kindle to EPUB (in my case, KEPUB), I now have my entire Kindle library on Kobo. Thank you so much for your content!!

[@MrNick99]

In the same boat... TBF the basic kindle is better decent with 20% trade in off in DE amazon

[@strange144]

Me too! The pricing is honestly rude at this point and I also didn't like the way it's going with them removing the transfer via USB option. Might as well jump ship now, before Amazon locks us into our golden cage lol.

[@kellyjohnston2977]

Thanks for a great and honest review! I ordered the Signature paperwhite in Raspbery and I’m loving it. I notice a huge difference in speed . I wear glasses and the ink appears to be so much clearer and crisp on the new model compared to my 2021 version.

[@hammerandthewrench7924]

I like how kobo opens the book with the cover, like a real book, where you start with the cover.

[@strange144]

I also love that it says how far along your are on the cover!

[@PhoenixMoore]

Swapped to Kobo Libra Colour and not looking back. I loved Kindle, but they really need a Scribe Mini with touch buttons or real buttons.

[@sheena3]

I thought of a scribe mini tooooo! I have the scribe and I loveeee it over paperwhite and I don’t even use the pen. But everything seems more crisp and the typing is faster on the scribe. I’m Canadian and I use to use kobo librar 2 but honestly they never had any Christian fiction books I could buy. Like the authors did not exist at all. So I went back to kindle lol no regrets!

I'm using a Paperwhite from 2015, and the speed of this new one is a huge temptation!

[@dylancanread]

It is really quick!

[@RoVicD]

Thanks for the review. I have a 2017 oasis and wasn't planning on getting the new paperwhite but I admit that the speed increase is tempting.

[@jojotaylor5048]

2:00 That‘s wrong. The device is not the same size: 174 mm x 125 mm x 8.1 mm (old) vs. 176.7 mm x 127.5 mm x 7.8 mm (new). The bezels are the same.

[@ShakiLis29]

Hey! I agreed is not much of difference that someone needs to upgrade but like you said is all up to us! I have an oasis and paperwhite kindles. And I was thinking of getting the color one but then if you think of it you only going to see the book cover for a few seconds and that’s it. Idk, that’s how I look at this situation. I will wait until both my kindles stop working then I will get the latest kindle in the future. 😊 I enjoy watching other booktubers talking about kindles .. Thank you !

[@dylancanread]

Thanks for watching! And I know exactly what you mean. The idea of a color kindle is super cool, it’s just not very practical for novel readers

[@4thdimension87]

Bought my kindle Voyage 12 years ago and didn't upgrade yet because it never breaks and is still just like new. Read at least a thousand book since I bought it and if it were not for the kindle I wouldn't bother to read books at all.

[@MattGordondotcom]

One of the best features of the new Paperwhites is that the little text at the bottom (time left in chapter, etc.) is slightly larger. Overall, the display is crisp like a Scribe and just feels nicer than the previous generation. The speed feels much faster than a 20-25% improvement and I'm thrilled with it. I'm thinking of sending back the "Plant based leather" cover for maybe a good leather sleeve or something. Hard to find a quality item in the regard; they're all "vegan leather" or "PU leather." I'm just not a fan of any of the fake leather. So glad to see you back, Dylan!

[@DoubleA-ou7pj]

The worst part is the way they try to charge just as much as real leather.

[@lakeshas1421]

Am I the only person trying to see all the books on the side with the little yellow toy? Great taste in books 👍🏽 I love the raspberry Paperwhite but I already preordered the Colorsoft. I may need a raspberry skin because it is so cute!

[@e.m.newland527]

The blacks are darker and richer. The fonts are a touch more crisp. Speed is now snappy. The nasty blue lighting is gone. I upgraded and I can tell the difference. (Sig Ed Teal)

[@pfmontgomery]

Immediately leapt at an upgrade from my previous gen Paperwhite when I saw the 20-25% speed boost. The software could be so slow-and remains so compared with screen technology on other tablet devices. Any significant jump in that department was a lock for me.

[@mmadison7749]

About the power button on the bottom of the Kindle Paperwhite. Earlier models of the Kindle had a setting called Screen Rotation that let the screen be rotated in any direction. In addition to portrait and landscape each of those could be set 180°. This is similar to the Oasis but done manually. If Amazon added that setting to the new Kindles, the screen could be rotated 180° and then the Kindle could be turned upside down. This would result in the power button being at the top of the Kindle.

[@joshualankford2966]

Iv never had any problem with the power button, nor has anyone I know that has one. You have to press on it pretty hard and consistently for it to cut off. I don’t see how anyone has that problem personally.

@@kelvinsmith6854 Yes, I'm sure you are right. My best guess is that they are well aware of the complaints, but moving it would be far too costly, which would then entail pushing up the price of the device. The game in other words simply wouldn't be worth the candle.

[@DoubleA-ou7pj]

Yeah , if you have a case on it, it’s pretty much covered up.

I upgraded from a very very old basic kindle that still has a micro usb charge port to the metallic jade paperwhite. It cold just be just me but it seems to be more of a fingerprint magnet and has a little more glare than my basic kindle did.

The con to me is that you need Wifi to download/shop. I’ve always had 3G/4G enabled. I haven’t heard anyone talk about this. What do you think?

[@MarisaAndChew]

Would love to see the new size sandwiched against the old one to know exactly how much bigger it is. In some images it looks HUGE in others I can only tell which is new BC of the color on the back lol. I'm female on the petite size. My Kindle 11th gen is hard on my arthritis and too big to easily good one handed, so more than a mm or two would probably make this way to large for my hands and add extra strain to my arthritis. I prefer my Kobo Clara 2E over my Paperwhite as far as size and weight go but the 6 inch Kindle wouldn't work for me BC I get migraines. I also struggle to sleep if I don't use the amber light before bed. IMO it's really unfortunate the price went up 15 dollars (Canadian) for the "new" basic but they still haven't added amber lights. For my BODY and health, it feels like Kindle is being a bit discriminatory (not the correct word BC it's likely unintentional) as their Paperwhite has features like water resistance and amber light but it's heavier and more difficult for one handed use (I assume it's great for most men though!) and then the Kindle basic is lacking these two features that would work for mental and physical health, migraines etc. I guess the accessibility just doesn't feel inclusive. I'm not even a horrible sufferer of my conditions, there are ppl who are way way way worse off than I am and it's just unfortunate that they aren't taking physical limitations or invisible illnesses like insomnia, eye stain etc into account across all products. I love my Kobo Clara because it's got all the features and it's still small, I love Kindle unlimited though. I also love that if you don't want the amber light you can just not turn it on but the option is there. I've noticed a LOT of ppl who have health things, from chemo to surgeries being their Kindles or Kobo's with them to kill time so i know I'm not the only person who would appreciate the 6 inch having the same features the Kobo does... I hope this makes sense!

[@Phae0610]

I love everything about the Paperwhite, except the shrinking bezels. When I’m reading in bed it’s too easy to accidentally turn the page. The button on top would be nice, but I’ve never accidentally hit it. For me it’s the darn tiny bezels. Thank you for the in depth review!

[@travelminipainter]

My 10th-Gen is perfectly fine and works like a charm. Why change now. Particularly not in light of the price-hike. No go for me.

[@sonictonic_]

Thanks for this review! What I REALLY wanna know is how the speed ("25% faster" etc.) compares to the Colorsoft. Is the Colorsoft gonna be just as fast as this new Paperwhite? Will it be slower because of the color? Same as the current/old Paperwhite? Anxious to see that comparison. I ordered the Colorsoft but I'm still torn on if I should get the new regular Paperwhite. Color is nice but if it's slow I think I'd rather have the speed since it makes the interface so much nicer to use...

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Someone else said yes, page turn seems the same on the Colorsoft!

[@GalaxyFur]

The Colorsoft will be a hair slower than the 12th Gen Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. This is because it requires more CPU power to process color, which results in a little less battery life. (You will also notice that Amazon doesn't claim the Colorsoft to be 20% faster like it does with the Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition) Image quality also takes a slight hit compared to the Paperwhite and Signature Edition. While it has color, text doesn't appear as sharp as on a black-and-white E-ink screen. This is due to the added RGB filter and other factors at play that bring a couple of drawbacks vs. the black-and-white screen. All in all, Colorsoft has a great display. While it brings color to the table, which is an excellent addition, the display also can't quite match the true crispness of the black-and-white Kindles for image quality. It's still terrific but a bit softer and has less contrast and true whites the other Kindles in the 12th-generation lineup offer. Also, colored images are rendered at half resolution (150 PPI). This is common even with other e-readers like the Kobo e-readers. (150 PPI = 620 x 823 or 147 PPI to be precise on the Colorsoft, with Amazon rounding up to 150)

[@lindaeshbach6494]

Tha KS for the review. I have the old one in the sage green color which I love. Also that was my first e reader and it's OK but I still like a book in my hand. The advantage for me is I do t have books to do something with later.

[@beizhou4025]

I actually got the basic Kindle, upgraded from the 7th gen Paperwhite. I like how small it is, you can easily put it in your pocket and the color pops out as well

[@sistergoldenhair0727]

I've had my same signature paperwhite since 2022. I feel no need to upgrade. Not impressed with the colorsoft either as I like the Kobo Libra Color much better because it has a stylus and I can highlight and write on the text in 10 different colors.

[@jdemaninco]

I've used the same paperwhite since 2012 but just gave it to my daughter so can't wait to upgrade.

[@AprilShowers560]

Kindle 12th Gen is my first e-reader so I can’t compare. I love it so far. I think it’s a bit expensive for what it is given you have to pay for books on top of the purchase price. Kindle can’t be connected to library services in Australia so you are 100% reliant on Amazon. I’ve read on reddit that a lot of people are complaining about losing their previously downloaded books when upgrading. This seems like a pretty major fault.

[@staceydorrance2786]

I wish they had colour.. cus I'm one that definitely judges a book by its cover lol Other than that.. thank you.. this will be my first book thingy techy techy.. because I have no more room for books😬 But I do feel like we need a list of all the books you have behind you because some of them look 😍

[@AndreaAlamilla-us3kn]

I got my first kindle last year, the Paperwhite signature, and I really like it, I have been able to increase my reading since I find it to be very practical. At first when I saw the updates I was very excited to get the new version but now that i thought about it for a few days I don't think I need it. But it's tempting to get the colorsoft. 😅

[@Emilieprang]

How does it compare to the 2018 kindle paperwhite (gen 10)? I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth upgrading.

[@Milky63]

The auto adjust brightness is terrible. I’ll probably end up deactivating it. Other than that it’s a great device. My very first kindle and I do enjoy reading on it.

[@TheFonzieCommunity]

Since I’m getting a kobo at some point soon, but might get the new scribe for school and to try a book I might like; then if I like it I’m refunding the book that I’ll add to my kobo. Although if i can’t refund the book, then at least I got a extra way to read it or just get the physical book. Anyways the reason for the blurb is that I am thinking of getting a case from your wife’s store, if not… I’d be happy to see her make some that I could buy!! Edit: I just looked, but can she make a hay ghoul in black? Love this video!!

[@ChrisDoutre]

Thanks for a great review. I agree with your conclusion except that you did not mention whether or not the performance improvement extended to the "link-to-Wikipedia" feature. Note that I am not picking on you; nobody ever seems to mention that in their reviews. But since I read a lot of non-fiction, I am constantly looking stuff up and I find that to be excruciatingly slow and clunky on my Paperwhite. So, for non-fiction, I generally use the Kindle app on an iPad Mini. Would you be willing to render your opinion on that aspect of the new 204 Paperwhite? Thanks.

[@petragunther4439]

I don't really care about the color - I'll put it in a case anyway. Am a bit disappointed about power performance of my 11.gen (my older Kindles lasted so much longer).. Think I'll go for the new one. 😏

I’ll stick with my 11th generation one, if they’d have moved the power button I made have reconsidered.

[@ecast1500]

[@XiuHanLiao]

hi there is a CON . on the previous generation which not many people mentioned. it has a rubbery texture on the back which has a great feeling. but prolong exposure to sun. it will kinda melt and becomes sticky. not sure it's only me. but is the new kindle paperwhite has the same back material?

[@Nutmeg142]

Does it lag when you turn the page? I switched to an iPad mini because I hated that the pages lagged soooo badly when I turned the page on my kindle

[@rabellogp]

I only wish they had removed the rubber finishing from the non-signature edition as well... If you like to use the device without cover, sticky/shiny/scratched back is guaranteed after a couple months of usage. They could at least give us one color option with solid plastic.

[@LocoDirewolf]

What I would like to have seen for the Signature Edition would have been at least 64GB for storage and a micro-etched glass front like on the Oasis. I will be buying a new Signature Edition despite not having those items because my Oasis' battery is going bad and also because my generation of Oasis does not have the warm LEDs (it also has aged out of updates).

In your opinion. For my first reader should I choose this one or the competitor Clara Color that you have also reviewed? I mostly read novels and assume I will use my e-reader to make sure my book case does not collapse. I will use it a home and on trips/travel but not carry it around with me every day. I am not invested in either eco-system and have no preferences in terms of Amazon vs. Rakuten. I just want the best reading experience and system.

Thanks for watching! Tough to say. I definitely don’t think you will regret upgrading, but I also don’t think you’ll be blown away by anything on the new Paperwhite. Also, if you’re attached to the page turn buttons the paperwhite may be a bit disappointing.

[@strange144]

I have an Oasis and was really hoping for a refresh... Then I was originally interested in the Colorsoft but the pricing (especially in Europe where it basically turned into 314 USD) is insane so I looked at Kobo and got a Libra Color instead. Really happy! The different placement of the on/off button will take some getting used to after 15-ish years of reading on Kindles though, lol.

I don't upgrade, for me they should have reduced the edges more, making the size a little smaller so that it would fit in all the pockets, reducing them just enough so that you can rest your finger and not turn the page, or at least if you make it as wide as the lower ones give me a couple of buttons.

The biggest con of this e-reader is nothing related to the hardware, but the fact that you lose all ownership of the e-books you buy. Amazon can, will and has deleted books already purchased by people or unilaterally edit them per request of the copyright holders. You will end up in a locked up environment with no way out, DRM free support for books on kindle is not the best. If you're okay with this situation you can definitely go with the Kindle. In reality, all e-readers are very much similar. And this doesn't even have physical page turning buttons.

You cant add library apps or any other applications. you didn't even mention it.. did you know there are other e-readers except kindle and kobo? you cannot customize your main screen page and you have book advertise. you cannot add more language to kindle except what you have out of the box. you don't have email app and cannot customize your screen saver.

Maybe just me, but I don't like the screen on this new kindle - gives me some eye strain that my old 6th gen doesn't. Anybody else find this?

I’d be skipping a generation. I’d love to see 10th gen vs 12th gen.

That's light maroon, not pink, yeah?
