The larger 6.8" display offers a crisp and clear reading experience, closely mimicking the look of real paper. The adjustable warm light is a standout feature, allowing me to read comfortably in any lighting condition, whether it’s bright daylight or a dimly lit room. The glare-free screen is gentle on the eyes, making long reading sessions a pleasure.
With 32 GB of storage, this Kindle offers ample space for thousands of books, audiobooks, and even comics. I never have to worry about running out of space, and the device's performance remains smooth and responsive, even with a large library.
The Signature Edition also features wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light, adding convenience and sophistication. The battery life is impressive, lasting weeks on a single charge, which is perfect for travel and daily use.
The sage green color is a beautiful addition, giving the Kindle a fresh and modern look. It’s both stylish and unique, standing out from the typical black and white e-readers.
Overall, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is a top-tier e-reader that offers an exceptional reading experience with its advanced features, ample storage, and stylish design. If you’re looking for a high-quality e-reader that combines functionality and aesthetics, I highly recommend this Kindle.
The Paperwhite signature addition is a lovely upgrade for me. I like the look and feel of it. Whilst others complain of the power button being at the bottom of the device this is fine for me and what I'm used to with the Kindle Touch.
The backlight for reading works really well no matter what setting you have and is very noticeable if you have it on auto adjust.
The promotional write up says 32gb storage yet when I check the device settings this reads as just over 27gb available for storage of books.
I bought this with the Amazon recommended fabric cover which is real quality and looks really nice.
Whilst I haven't read the full >150 pages user guide I have been able to figure out the main features I need to use.
I was concerned at first over battery life but this seems to be resolved. I bought this Kindle about a month ago and set up via my phone was really easy. I was impressed to see that in the cloud all my collections from my Kindle Touch were replicated on my Paperwhite! :-) (No refiling of books.) I then downloaded about 8 previously bought books from the cloud and then fully charged the Kindle. Then for the first day I read for about 1.5 hours and noticed that the battery was already down to 85%. Overnight I shut the cover case which put the screen into screen lock with a screensaver. The next day I tried the Kindle to see the battery had fallen to 77%! I was worried there was a problem with the battery and I'd never get the "up to" 10 weeks usage. I spoke with Customer Service who weren't really very knowledgeable and just suggested I send it back for a refund, which I was reluctant to do after just 2 days. So I carried on and have figured out that the battery was initially consuming power by indexing and by me leaving it on screensaver, plus having the backlight on auto. What I do now is that I have the backlight on a fixed setting (which works well) and when I finish reading I hold the power button for about 5 seconds, until the green light starts flashing. Then I select the "Screen off" function. Since doing this the battery consumption rate has really slowed down. I read maybe half an hour to an hour a day since I got this Kindle about a month ago, and today the battery is only down to 63% after only one charge.
I really like how with the fabric cover when I open it the Kindle starts waking up without me having to press the power button. I have set a PIN code so no one else can use it if I lose the kindle.
The page turning and filing of books into collections seems quicker than my old Kindle Touch although to be honest on the old device the speed of page turning was not an inconvenience for me.
I'm a long term big fan of Kindles and ebooks. So much so that I don't read physical books anymore. If anyone buys me a physical book I either buy the ebook version or is just doesn't get read.
One other point is that for a while I used to just use the Kindle app on my phone rather than reading on the Kindle Touch (since I didn't take it everywhere with me). However I found that reading on the phone made me feel tired very quickly, I don't get this with the Kindle device. Whilst this Kindle Signature is marginally bigger than my 2012 Kindle Touch, when the cover is attached the Paperwhite is smaller and neater and will fit in my jeans back pocket. So I'm using the Kindle a lot more now.
I love the ability to adjust brightness, toggle between dark and light mode, makes reading in any environment a breeze. I also appreciate features like the built-in dictionary for quick word lookups and the option to sync reading progress across devices, so I can seamlessly switch between my Kindle and the Kindle app on my phone or tablet. Additonally, the battery life is amazing and doesn't require constant charging! Overall, it's been an absolute delight diving into the world of e-reading with my Kindle!
