I've had a Paperwhite 2nd Gen since 2014 and until now there wasn't anything different enough for me to want to upgrade. It's finally time though! The warm light, USB C, wireless charge, turn speed, so many additional LEDs, and screen size upgrades are all enough to make it worth it! Plus I'll finally have those other features newer ones have that mine currently doesn't like the extra waterproofing, flush bezels, software updates (book cover screensavers!), PPI increase, etc. Definitely pumped to have this on the Christmas list!

Calibre and screen covers is a lot smoother now. Got my new Paperwhite about a week ago and after some tinkering it's been flawless, really depends on which format you side load, but it's been great. One quick tip people can try if their artwork disappears is to plug it back into your computer, select update cached data under device, and then unplug, seems to do the trick.

Great review Mike, I upgraded and IMHO if you use the kindle a lot it's worth it, the warm light is much nicer to use and the added size means I can increase the font size while still having a enough text on the screen. I think I have bumped up it 2 font sizes now over what I used on the previous paperwhite. I feel the new device is the perfect size , the previous gen always felt a little too small. Adverts: Be cautious on this, there are reports on redit etc.. that no matter how much of a good customer you are, Amazon will not remove the adverts for free and may not even remove them if you are willing to pay, if the adverts may bother you it might be better to just stump up the extra. Power Buttom: Yep its in a stupid place but the reason is because of the board location, moving the button up top would require a ribbon extension which would either increase production costs or difficulty (according to the internet), IMHO what they could have done to prevent accidental presses would simply make the button flush.

I've had a Paerwhite and I own an Oasis. I prefer the Oasis and was willing to spend the dough to get it, and I have no regrets. As much as I like the options for the light, eliminating the blue light, and as much as I've the asymmetrical shape of the device (one side is thicker which feels more comfortable and satisfying than a uniform thickness a la a Paperwhite) the deciding factor for me is the page turn buttons. With those buttons I can read with one hand and never have to muck up the screen by constantly touching it to turn a page. I recognize that many people will choose to save the money and go without the bells and whistles. A year later I don't miss the money but I'd be missing the buttons every time I read. I mean, people are willing to pay an extra 20 bucks to get rid of the special offers, a passive feature. The buttons improve the experience every time I read. 😊

For the cover art and calibre I found that editing the Metadata on the book file the way you want it, and then converting the file to Azw3 format allows for the custom covers to work on my Oasis. I read fanfiction alot on my Oasis so I make covers. Plus in your kindle with airplane mode off, convert files, send azw3 to kindle, eject, turn on airplane mode, reconnect your kindle, and the covers should be there. Hope that helps someone.

The power button location issue would be SUCH AN EASY SOFTWARE FIX, and it blows my mind that they haven't figured it out. Instead of forcing two orientations (portrait with the button at the bottom, landscape with the button on the right), provide four orientations (add portrait with the button at the top, landscape with the button on the left). Kobo figured this out years ago, and it would be such a simple coding fix to implement.

I already have the very first Paperwhite from 2012 which has 2Gb and is still going strong. Now I have just bought the 11th generation with 8Gb which did not come with a case or cover. Amazon's covers are out of stock and they say they don't know when or if they will be available again. The new Paperwhite is very slightly bigger than the original, only a matter of 2 or 3 millilmetres in length and about 10 mm wider. The screen is much larger, brighter and clearer to read.and the touch screen is much faster to respond. Ads. I changed the setting so that the cover of the book I am reading is there in place of an ad;

The warm light is definitely what I'm most looking forward to.

I actually returned the new Kindle Paperwhite, which I was not expecting, because I thought I was going to like it. First, I found it to be way too heavy and then add on the case and I really wasn't enjoying the weight of it (my Oasis has never felt heavy even with the case). I don't personally care about the charging mechanism, especially since I only have to charge an e-reader once in a while, so micro-usb or USBC, really don't care. Second, as awkward as the Oasis is to hold, I still love the page turn buttons, which I prefer, and third, the Oasis has all the same features as the new Paperwhite, so, since I am perfectly happy with my Oasis, I didn't see the need to keep the new Paperwhite. If Amazon comes out with a new Oasis, I'd be more interested in that eventually). Thanks for your review! 😊

They make it look like night and day size difference, the actual primitre of the tablet it’s only about half inch difference bigger on the new model but they did a good job in making the screen bigger, so it would fit just as good. And it’s not heavy by much because it’s only they made an half inch difference on the dimension and they used every available space within the tablet to make the screen bigger so you will notice the screen difference good job.
