Not sure why I'm so late to the revolution

Not sure why I'm so late to the revolution
I've always been an avid reader and been one of those who love a physical book, from the look, feel and smell of them. My previous experience of reading digitally was a few years ago on my phone, which was just to small and my 10" tablet which was to large and heavy, I also found in both cases reading on the devices caused me headaches, so I pretty soon abandoned the idea of using my devices for any serious reading.I'd totally discounted the idea of a Kindle partly due to there diminutive 6 inch size and that my previous experience of digital reading hadn't been a successful one and I didn't realize how different e-ink was compared to a phone or tablets display. Roll on a few years and I notice that the Kindle paperwhite had grown in size to 6.8 inches, had gained USB-C charging, auto adjusting display and a warmth light which can be manually adjusted or set to come on automatically at certain times and waterproofing, all the same features as my other digital equipment. Due to these improvements I decided to take the plunge and order the Kindle paperwhite signature edition. The reason for this one over the standard paperwhite was because I would pay the £10 to remove ads anyway as I find them annoying and I do read graphic novels as well as printed books so the additional storage would be a benefit to me.The Kindle isn't much smaller than a standard paperback book but it weighs so much less and is comfortable to hold for hours at a time. I decided to buy a clear case for the Kindle, which I wasn't planning to do, however I found the placement of the power button to be in an awkward position, I'm not sure why they felt the need to move it to the bottom of the display but it is exactly where my little finger rest while holding the device and from time to time I'd accidentally turn off the display. I also found when standing the Kindle up as I like to do to display the cover of the book I'm reading it would press against the button sending the Kindle into a power cycle. The case has solved these issues without adding much bulk or weight to the device, it also allows me to personalise my Kindle without defacing the actual device and as you can see the best way I found was to print some of my favourite book related images onto 6x4" photo paper and put under the clear cover, this way I can easily change the look whenever I feel like it.The e-ink display is such a game changer in digital reading, I no longer find it gives me a headache from too much on screen time and I actually read quicker than I do the paperback version of the book. I'm not sure why this should be the case, the only thing I can think is that I can change the font and text size to suit me perfectly. The touch screen is responsive, page turning is quick and highlighting passages of text is easier to control than that on my tablet or phone.I know this is nothing new to Kindles but the X-ray and Whispersync features are brilliant as with x-ray you can bring up pop-up which lists characters, terms and other information which is handy if you're reading a book that you dip in and out of, or you've had a break from reading. The whispersync feature lets you sync your reading across multiple devices, this has actually encouraged me to read more as now if I find myself away from my Kindle I can pick up where I left off on another device I may have with me.For anyone else who is like me and sitting on the fence about purchasing a Kindle I implore you to take the plunge, if you're anything like me you won't look back and you'll wonder why it took you so long to become a convert.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, with its 32 GB storage and stunning 6.8" display in sage green, is a remarkable device for avid readers. This e-reader combines advanced features and a sleek design, making it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to enhance their reading experience.

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.

Colour: BlackOffer Type: Without Kindle UnlimitedVerified Purchase
This is my 3rd Kindle, my previous one being a 2012 Kindle Touch which whilst still operating well can be a little slow on moving books to collections and indexing due to the number of books stored.
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'm absolutely thrilled with my agave green Kindle. I've paired it with a clear case—it's not only stylish but incredibly functional too. One of my favorite aspects is its paper-like feel, which truly enhances the reading experience. Plus, the versatility to purchase books through Amazon or download from alternative sources and send them straight to my Kindle is a game-changer. You can also directly download books from your kindle with access to the Amazon storefront.

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!
