The borders around the sides of the touchscreen are about as thin as it's possible to go without your thumb constantly resting on the screen and flicking through pages at a rate of knots. Holding the new larger frame still feels remarkably comfortable. In other words, this is a Kindle designed for a backpack or a handbag. It'll just about fit into the back pocket of your jeans, but the added height means that it'll be very visible. While the previous Kindle Paperwhite fitted (albeit snugly) in the inside pocket of our coat, there's no chance of that with the new model. While the new Kindle Paperwhite is undoubtedly taller, it's the added width that makes the real difference. Of course, the bigger screen means a larger overall footprint for the Kindle. Whether you prefer a smaller font to reduce the number of page turns, or want maximum legibility – you'll be able to squeeze more prose onto every page.

That might not sound like a huge increase, but it does make a substantial difference. It boasts a larger 6.8-inch e-ink display, compared with the 6-inch screen we've seen on all previous Paperwhite models. Out of the box, the first thing you'll notice about the new Kindle Paperwhite is the size. This is the best eReader you can buy today.

To make a long story short, Amazon has checked off every box on our Wish List with the Kindle Paperwhite. As with the rest of the Kindle lineup, battery life is measured in weeks, not hours. The 11th generation Kindle Paperwhite is the first to feature USB-C, so you'll no longer have to pack a dedicated charging cable for your Kindle on your next holiday! Unlike the pricier Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, there's no wireless charging support to be found here. Although, that's probably unnecessary as the 8GB of built-in storage is enough to hoard hundreds of weighty tomes. If you're on holiday – miles from the nearest English bookstore – all you need to do is connect to Wi-Fi and you'll be able to download the latest entry in your favourite series. It boasts a generous 6.8-inch e-ink touchscreen that looks almost indistinguishable from paper in direct sunlight, a water-resistant case, and useful accessibility features that enable more people to enjoy the page-turners everyone is talking about.Īmazon offers the largest collection of digital books with its Kindle Store, with a wide array of classics available to download for free, and regular sales dropping the latest bestsellers down to just 99p. Kindle Paperwhite is the complete package.
