TheKindlePaperwhite (starting at $159) is often considered thebest Kindlefor most people.
Ive never owned an e-reader and have only used one in short bursts.
WhileAmazondidnt reinvent the wheel with this e-reader, the company made smart upgrades to2021s Kindle Paperwhite.
The moderate speed increase, longer battery life and larger screen all create a fantastic reading experience.
Is the new Kindle Paperwhite worth getting if you already own the previous model?
Its about as good as an e-reader can get.
Amazon cranked up the display size while keeping the dimensions the same.
This is thanks to thinner bezels surrounding the screen.
The 94 nits maximum brightness is also more than sufficient for all kinds of lighting situations.
We tested the Signature Editon, which adds a nifty auto-adjusting front light sensor.
As the light in the room changes, the brightness of your Kindles screen adjusts.
Its a nice feature and worth spending the extra money if you constantly move around while reading.
Long battery life
Ill never notmarvelat how long e-reader batteries last.
Amazon says the Kindle Paperwhite lasts about 12 weeks on a single charge.
What I can say is that I never charged the rig.
No matter how you slice it, thats some great battery life.
While not likely to be deal-breakers for most tablet shoppers, theyre still issues worth mentioning.
No matter how much Amazon justifies the price increase, were never happy to see the price go up.
It has incredible battery life, a beautiful, vibrant display and a speedy processor.
For new buyers, though, this is the Kindle to get.
