    I ordered one for myself, I normally love reading a physical book but I was running out of space. I love the size of the kindle , I can put it in my purse, its so easy to travel with and I have absolutely loved it. I love it so much I have ordered one for my Dad for Fathers Day :)

    I've had the Paperwhite standard 8g for about a month now, it is my first kindle and to be honest I love it. I do have bad eyesight and I can adjust the lighting or change it to black background and I can read anytime anywhere. The battery life well to be honest in a month I have charged it one time when I first got it. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try kindles. Also Faiz great video, you hit a lot of points that mattered to me when I first researched the kindles.

    First time viewer here. You have a great basic review and I will consider buying one if my one concern is satisfied. I am an avid reader and take my old Kindle everywhere.
    My concern is with text to speech (tts). My ancient D00901 has a very easy to use tts I can activate with one button and the cursor/enter thing. (I also like the fact that it does NOT have a touch screen, but I’m not unreasonable and recognize that any newer device will have a touch screen.)
    My 10th generation paperwhite, however:
    a) doesn’t have an external speaker, only Bluetooth headphone capability (headphones hurt my ears, so I avoid them when possible). This makes me unhappy, but isn’t a dealbreaker.
    b) put their tts under the device’s accessibility feature with no way to access it without activating screen navigation which I do not need and absolutely hate. This IS a dealbreaker for me. The voice navigation is slow and confusing to use.
    Please tell me they have improved this horrible kludge in 2021…? I love my D00901, but it won’t last forever. I won’t buy another paperwhite unless it has an easy to use tts ability uncoupled from the voice navigation. Think of how tts was implemented on Kindle Fire - it is available under menus from inside each book, along with speed and choice of voice (male/female) and regional accents (UK/ Australian/ US for English).
    I would love a video showing the tts: how to activate and use it.

    I hung on to my 2016 Oasis for a long time, hoping that it would get an update that would be worth paying another $270+ for (remember there was supposed to be a solar charging cover for it?). That upgrade never happened - there wasn't enough in the Oasis refreshes to tempt me. As much as I love the physical page buttons, I wasn't a fan of the low battery warnings when only one of the batteries was getting low (I had the charging cover). I also wasn't a fan of the micro USB as it was always so fiddly to insert the plug. The new Paperwhite Signature ticks the upgrade boxes for me. It's fast, looks great and has good charging flexibility (plugging in USB-C is super-easy in comparison to micro USB).

    I just ordered this paper white last night. I’ve been debating back and forth for a year. I’ve never owned a kindle so this is my first. I kept hoping they would bring out a new oasis. But this is better than the current oasis. I bought a package with the paper white, leather cover and charger. Hoping I like it. I read on my iPhone. I was also looking at the new iPad mini. I have the first generation and loved it fur reading and everything else. But I hear kindle is better on the eyes. So we shall see.

    I actually just upgraded from the Oasis to the newer paperwhite 11th gen. The oasis was nice but I had lots of battery issues later on. So the part about the battery life is very true.
    Although I did like the physical buttons for turning the page, if Amazon could make better adjustments to the next oasis it would be nice.
    The paperwhite I’m so glad I went for because the battery life is way more better. It feels much more comfortable in the hands. I just need to get a popsocket because it will help.

      Though I am not hearing many rumors for a new Oasis, I am sure it's in the works. However, this new Paperwhite is fantastic (and I am coming from the latest-gen Oasis). If the page buttons are a big feature feature for you, then definitely wait for a new Oasis. Or else this Paperwhite Signature Edition is wonderful. I am absolutely loving it

      I honestly don't see Amazon upgrading the Oasis and asking people to pay a $100 premium for physical turn buttons and a slightly larger screen (I'm not sure that color e-ink displays are good enough for a premium Amazon product yet, especially when compared with an iPad). I honestly feel that the new Paperwhite is the upgrade that Oasis users should strongly consider.

    I received my 11th generation last week without the adverts and I completely love it. My other kindles are the 7" and 8" hd fire which I've had for a good couple of years and now, and after its (8") recent update it switches off by itself then maybe it will come back on again. This 11th generation Paperwhite is the 1st e-reader I have ever owned without adverts and I love it, it makes such a difference, I love its size and the way it handles compared to my other e-readers. It's small light and sooo flat, it's brilliant and yes it is a finger smudge magnet. But I have the perfect moko case for it so I don't mind, it doesn't bother me.

    Power button on te bottom must be for a lower price, logic board on this device with the charging port and power button on the same side cut the production cost by eliminating extra buttons and cables / flexes on any other side of the device, I'm ok with the design, weird, yes, but I think I understand the point, Im just judging the device from a Technical Design perspective

    I enjoyed your review. Thank You. I bought a refurbished PW4 earlier this summer and it was a really good price for the 32gig model so I’m not in the upgrade market at this time.
    What I would have liked to see is a pocket test of the PW 4 vs the PW5 at the time time using standard khaki pants. Shorts and jeans. One reason I like the PW4 is that I can pit it in my pocket real quick if I’m in a hurry to go out and think I may want to read. I keep it in a case but even then with normal pants the not a problem. Will this 6.8 screen add too much weight or bulkiness?

  • @Damonm68

    I think I'll get the new Paperwhite and go for the Signature Edition. I have quite an old third generation Kindle Keyboard, which still work, but I would like a built in illumination feature plus my old Kindle is quite slow. I think enough has improved for me to upgrade at this point. Not sure if I'll ever use the full 32 GB, although I do currently have an audible subscription that I mainly use on my phone, so I'm not sure how much I would use the Kindle for that. I prefer no adds especially with the ability to choose your sleep cover. I think 12 years of owning and using my Kindle Keyboard has more then paid off. I am wondering if these new Kindle's have the text to speech feature that's on my Kindle Keyboard? It's more mechanical then an audible book but it still gives me a chance to listen if my eyes get tired at no extra cost.

    I was initially excited about the new Paperwhite. I had been wanting one with warm lighting, and I didn't like the design of the Oasis. However, I am disappointed with the loss of the back button and other changes to the firmware, and this has tempered my interest in getting another Kindle. If the price drops low enough, or Amazon brings back the back button, I'll consider getting one. In the meantime, I can read at night on my Likebook Mars. I agree with you about the wireless charging. While I already considered this feature useless, I did not realize how truly useless it is until you described how it worked. The regular edition should be fine for me, since I would still use my Likebook Mars for any manga or audio books I read.

    I have recently upgraded to the new Kindle 5 from a 10 year old PW1 which is still as good as new although the leatherette cover is about shot. I read for at least an hour or two every day and the new PW is very comfortable to hold, I have no problem with the narrower bezel or with the touch screen. I see no point in having a separate button to change the page. It is much faster than the old PW I have and the screen is clearer. THe new firmware takes a bit of getting used to after the old one. THe warm lighting is a big improvement.The old one has 2Gb and I never filled that completely with books so 8Gb will be ample, I don't have or want audio books, I don't like being read to. I was surprised at the close similarity in physical size between the PW1 in its protective cover (175 x 125mm) and the PW5 in its cover (175 x 130mm), only 5mm wider. For the Americans that is 1/5 inch (why won't you go metric like the rest of us?)

    Has anybody had the issue where these models are getting stuck on the startup screen (boy on the tree screen). It seems to be pretty widespread. It happened to me last month.
    From what i have gathered it usually happens after a month of use: you turn it on and it will show no content, then you try to restart it and it gets stuck in the rebooting screen. The only solution has been to get it replaced from Amazon. Now I'm afraid it will happen again.

      Just got my signature edition the other day and I never thought I’d care about the auto lighting with amber light but wow it’s pretty amazing. I never have to adjust the lighting because it’s always spot on and that’s because I’m picky about how bright it is when reading in a dark room. I don’t use the wireless charging so I can’t comment on that. I used my PW 4 everyday since it came out and this signature is seriously great. If you don’t mind changing the brightness all the time then yea the 8gb is good for you but just letting you know from one experienced kindle user to another.

    The paperwhite lasts weeks on a charge……wireless charging on a kindle is pointless. I don’t even think it’s possible to to kill the kindle in a continuous day of using it. So there is no need to place it on your charger each night. How is the power button not ergonomic???? How often do you press it. Also if you lost 5% in two hours, i think you also have wi-fi on. Wi-fi on mine kills the battery a lot faster.

    Well this smartphone design is definitely not the best decision for e-readers. Especially with shredded bezels. Of course it won't change as general public is accustomed to it with best selling device, what actually allows to sell proper design of the oasis for quite a premium margin in price and not obstruct sales for paperwhite what so ever. I don't get why kobo is not trying to capitalize on that. They could make a 6" libra for 100$ (let's be honest those tech are overpriced due to covering all the needs already) and completely take over the market.

    You may try to defend this device by claiming that the bezel is broad enough to rest your fingers ; but this is only true if you are using both hands to hold it. It becomes a nightmare if you’re in bed and holding it with one hand. This is the reason I’m seriously thinking of getting the Kobo Libra 2. Although it is slightly more expensive, it is a hundred times better than this silly paperwhite.
