Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32GB (newest model) – Our fastest Kindle with auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and weeks of battery life – Metallic JadeRecycled Content Certification for Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Comparing this 12th gen signature to my previous 10th gen paperwhite.The blacks are ever so slightly darker, the resolution is better (the difference in definition is slight but you can tell the text is less fuzzy).The auto-brightness is a nice feature but I may turn it off. The warmth is a welcome addition. I know a lot of people have complained about the screen being warmer than their old paperwhite even with the warmth setting off, but it makes the screen more like a regular book. Go open a few real books and you’ll notice that the paper tends to lean on the warm side. Only certain types of books are printed on bright white paper (textbooks, cookbooks, art books, etc). I read novels for the most part so I enjoy the warmth.Now what I did not know what a feature on the signature is that they have recently added the ability to double-tap on the back or sides of the kindle to turn a page or advance in a scrollable page. This is not the physical page-turn button I wanted, but it’s so much better than having to tap the screen all the time! I wish there was an easy way to go to a previous page, so far it only lets you advance to the next. Also I will sometimes accidentally tap and advance the page while not meaning to. This feature can be turned off in settings.The page turn, ability to type, bring up the dictionary, and scroll on the Home Screen are all MUCH faster than the 10th gen. It’s night and day, really. I performed the same tasks on both kindles and the 12th gen is the clear winner on all tasks.The only issue I have is with Amazon calling the color jade. I’m not sure in what world they live in, but this color is nowhere near jade. It’s teal. It’s easy to argue about color names, but if the name of the color is drawn from real world examples (like a jade stone) then the color should accurately match the name. It’s a pretty blue-green, but I could google “jade color” and go through many pages of results before I got anything close to this color. If you google “teal color” then this is the color that shows up on most of the result pages. I get that “metallic jade” sounds much better than “metallic teal”, just make it jade instead?Overall, I recommend the upgrade just for the speed of the page turn. It makes a big difference in the user experience.

I purchased the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition a few months ago, and it has completely upped my reading game! As someone who loves to read both indoors and outdoors, I was amazed at how easy it is to read outside in bright sunlight or while relaxing in the bath, thanks to the anti-glare screen. Plus, it’s lightweight and slim enough to fit in my purse, so I can take it with me anywhere—whether it's to the coffee shop, on a trip, or just on the go.The battery life is incredible—I can read for days without needing to recharge, which is a huge plus. I also love how the Kindle Paperwhite works seamlessly with Kindle Unlimited. I've been able to breeze through 21 books in just 2 months, and the amount of money I’ve saved is unbelievable. Out of those 21 books, I only had to purchase one, thanks to the vast selection available on Kindle Unlimited!At first, I was a bit worried I would miss the feel of a traditional paper book, but after using the Kindle Paperwhite, I will never go back. The experience is just so much more convenient and efficient, and the screen feels so natural, I forget I’m reading on a device at all.In fact, 3 of my friends were so impressed after trying mine, they’ve all purchased their own Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. They all agree—it’s a total game-changer for readers.If you’re a book lover and you haven’t made the switch yet, I highly recommend this Kindle. It’s the perfect e-reader for anyone who wants to read comfortably anywhere and save money in the process!

My very first kindle was a Paperwhite, pretty much when they first came out, and then I switched to the Fire because I wanted to be able to do more than 'just' read. Well, my priorities changed, and I really wanted to get back to having something 'just' for reading again with a screen I could read in the sun. I was super nervous to get a Paperwhite because one of my main complaints with my first one was the lag in the page-flip. However, after talking to anyone I met/knew who had one and drowning them in questions, then realizing that many years had passed since my first one came out and they were likely much better quality now, I decided to finally take the plunge. (Well, my husband bought it for me as a birthday present, but it was on my wishlist!!!)And I'm glad I did. I've had this now for about 4 months, and I use it every single day. All day. Even though I miss the page flip from the Fire that makes it look like you're turning actual pages, and is smoother, the Paperwhite page-flip doesn't bother me as much as I was worried about.I love how crisp the screen is, how easy it is to read, and that my eyes don't get tired from staring at a screen for hours at a time. I love that I can easily download books from KU, and even have limited browser access for signing up for newsletters, or downloading extra content from authors.It is so thin and light, you can barely feel it in your hand, and I love that, but bought a case with a sleep/wake cover because I am over-protective of my devices (ESPECIALLY my kindles), and it is still insanely thin. I am happy with the quality, even though I read tons of conflicting reviews, and am confident it will be durable and hold-up for a long time because I baby my devices.I decided to live on the wild side and choose the green kindle (which is a gorgeous color that I promptly covered with a case (oops)), rather than the black I usually choose, and am very happy with it.
