It has an uncomplicated design that isn’t too different to older versions of the device. Weight: 205 g Kindle Paperwhite review: Design and display Waterproofing: IPX8-rated to withstand immersion in two metres of water for up to an hourīattery life: Up to 10 weeks based on 30 minutes of reading a day We got our hands on the new model to put it to the test, and think it’s a great pick if you want a highly capable e-reader to rival the Kindle Oasis without stretching to that high-end model’s £200+ price tag. One-tap access to the book you last opened and reading lists is useful, though.The new Paperwhite has a longer battery life, waterproofing, 32GB of storage (enough room for around 3,000 books), a 6.8-inch display (almost an inch bigger than its predecessor), and it finally added USB-C for charging too, meaning you can now get it back up to 100% full battery in 2.5 hours. The main screen is now split into ‘Home’ and ‘Library’, although the former seems to be an opportunity for Amazon to advertise books you haven’t downloaded yet. It brings significant changes to the user experience, primarily aimed at making navigation easier. It was released in August, although most Kindles since 2015 have now been updated. The Paperwhite Signature Edition runs Amazon’s new Kindle software out of the box. This works well via Bluetooth – provided your audio device is in pairing mode the first time you connect. Without any built-in speakers or a 3.5mm jack, you’ll need to connect wireless headphones or a speaker to enjoy Audible. You’ll have to be content with WiFi-only models, but that’s unlikely to be an issue for most people. Amazon has ditched 4G support on the new Kindle Paperwhites, presumably due to lack of demand.
