Speedy it is not - and we've long felt that the software experience here could be better. Much of this comes down to how the display technology works, refreshing the pigments to be either black or white doesn't lend itself to animations. Similarly, closing a specific book page in the store to go home is delivered with a little delay as well. There are other times it still suffers from that E Ink refresh lag, like when loading the drop-down quick settings layer, or when scrolling through the Amazon book store. That's thanks to using a newer version of the E Ink display - the Carta 1200 - thus giving faster page refreshes. One thing we did notice with this Paperwhite is it's more responsive than previous models or the standard Kindle. The text then becomes white, the background black. If having an orange/warm backlit screen isn't enough for you and you want to cut out as much light when you're reading at night - for fear of disturbing a significant other perhaps - you can simply enable dark mode, which inverts the dark and light elements of the screen. What's more, it's water-resistant, so it can survive being dropped in the bathtub or in a pool. The front surface is now completely flush, so there's no raised frame or bezel for bits of fluff and dust to get stuck in.

The rear is coated in a soft touch material, which is lovely, although currently only available in a black finish. Ultimately, we prefer the button arrangement of the Kindle Oasis and they, certainly, remain a feature for which you might consider paying more.īeing a Paperwhite model means this reader has a slightly higher level of fit and finish compared to the standard Kindle. Page turning is via a tap or a swipe and if you're holding it in your right hand you can just about tap with your thumb.įor most this won't pose a problem, but if you're left-handed, be aware that the left side of the display goes back - and any tap on that side results in turning back a page. It's wider, taller, heavier - a bit more of a handful.Īll other control is via touch - there are no additional buttons - and with bezels getting smaller, there's a little less space to grip it. First of all, it's bigger than previous Paperwhites. But this is an all-new Kindle and while it's the same basic device, there are important differences.
