![]() Amazon Kindle pricing can be volatile, and Amazon loves to use its own devices as bait for its big sale days. The Amazon Kindle starts at £84.99 / $89.99, today at least. Amazon Kindle vs Kindle Paperwhite: Price It may seem like a strange feature on a device that charges once every three months, but the Signature seems aimed at Audible users, who will also tax the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities more heavily, thus draining more power. If you spring for the Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition, you can charge the ereader wirelessly using any Qi-enabled wireless charger. The difference is almost laughable when we're charging our phone, headphones, and watch on a daily basis. Amazon says the Paperwhite will last for 10 weeks of casual reading while the Kindle 2022 will last for 6 weeks. That means there is also a larger battery inside, so you can expect more longevity. It has a larger display, which makes it a larger device. Otherwise, there are no surprises in the Paperwhite's advantages over the Kindle. There’s also wireless charging if you’re willing to spend another £50 on the Paperwhite Signature Edition.Both Kindle and Paperwhite use USB-C for charging (Image credit: TechRadar) The new Kindle Paperwhite brings a number of upgrades to Amazon’s mid-range e-reader line, including a bigger, brighter screen, warm light and a bigger battery. While neither the old nor the new Kindle Paperwhite support wireless charging on their standard models, the feature is supported on the new Signature Edition so if you prefer to use a Qi charger you can pay a little extra to get support for that. ![]() The new port offers faster charging down from 3 hours to 2.5 hours for a fully charged battery and, with most tech using USB-C these days, you’re bound to have a compatible cable within reach when you need it. The new Kindle Paperwhite, in comparison, includes up to 10 weeks of battery based on half an hour of reading a day.Īmazon has also upgraded the charging port from micro-USB to USB-C, which was something we wanted to see in our review of the 2018 e-reader. This number is based on half an hour of reading a day. The old Kindle Paperwhite offered up to 6 weeks of battery from a single charge. There have also been a number of upgrades when it comes to the battery. There’s also the new Kindle Paperwhite Kids, which comes with a cover, a one year subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, and tools to help children improve their literacy skills, including the Vocabulary Builder and Word Wise. If you are into audiobooks, both e-readers can be connected to Bluetooth headphones but neither includes a headphone jack so wired headphones are not supported. ![]() You may want to consider the upgrade if you listen to a lot of Audible audiobooks as these require more space, but regular books are very small so 8GB will likely be enough for most users. If you want 32GB of storage, you’ll now need to opt for the Paperwhite Signature Edition, which costs £50 more than the standard Paperwhite. Of course, there’s a reason Amazon has done this. The old Kindle Paperwhite was available with 8GB and 32GB configurations, while the new Kindle Paperwhite can only be bought with 8GB of storage. One downgrade that came with the new Kindle Paperwhite is that it doesn’t come with as much on-device storage. Kindle Paperwhite 2021 Specs and featuresīoth Kindles run on the same software and take advantage of free cloud storage for all Amazon content. The new Paperwhite also takes advantage of the adjustable warm light feature that debuted on the Kindle Oasis, which is particularly useful for reading at night. This allows for a 10% brighter screen at its maximum setting. Amazon has included more than four times the number of LEDs this time around for a total of 17. The new Paperwhite, on the other hand, packs a larger 6.8-inch, 300ppi, glare-free E-Ink display. It also includes four LEDs to make it easier to read in dim lighting. The old Kindle Paperwhite features a 6-inch, 300ppi, glare-free E-Ink display designed to be comfortable on the eyes. The biggest upgrades here take place in the display. Like it’s predecessor, the new Paperwhite is waterproof up to IPX8 so you can feel safe using it next to the pool and the device does not include any physical buttons to flip the page. The new Kindle Paperwhite packs a similarly inconspicuous design with slim, curved edges but the bezels around the display have been slimmed down a bit. It’s also waterproof up to IPX8 and does not feature the physical page-turning buttons you’ll find on the pricier Oasis. The e-reader has a lightweight plastic body with curved edges that doesn’t scratch easily but is prone to picking up smudges and fingerprints. The old Kindle Paperwhite features a durable but plain design.
