All-new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 GB) – Our fastest Kindle with auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and weeks of battery life – Metallic Raspberry

I have had my Kindle for over a month, and I am still excited about this Kindle. However, I just saw that it is on sale (Black Friday Deal), and I wanted to cry. It is now $45 less than what I paid (excluding the cost of the charger and case; add another $60 to that $45 (Ouch!)).Then, I had to have a talk with myself, and it went like this: Trinigal, stop being upset! You are fortunate to have purchased a Kindle that works well, and doesn’t have issues (like others who have shared the dissatisfaction with their Kindle).You are still enjoying your reads and always looking forward to your next read. I then chuckled to myself, and said that the title of the next book I select should be: When is the right time to buy a Kindle?My original review is below:This is my first Kindle, so I don’t have any other Kindle to compare it to. I usually read a physical book, books on my Computer, IPad or iPhone. This Kindle makes a difference in my ability to relax while reading a book. It is an awesome device that is portable, light weight, and convenient.Although I like reading on my IPad, it will no longer be my go to device for reading (When you know better, you do better).My house is full of unread books that I bought over the years, and that really bothers me because I just couldn’t find the time to read (being a professor with lots of other academic books to read, I gave those academic books priority over a good novel). Now, I am at the point where I want to read books for relaxation purposes. I chose the Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition as part of my incentive to read a good book.I researched this Kindle for an entire month before investing in it.Let’s get to the workings of the Kindle:This 7 inch Kindle is easy to hold in my hands. The IPad truly strained my hand when I tried to use only one hand when reading. At times, I had to lean the IPad on my thighs for support. Now, there will be no more hand to thighs when reading!The Kindle set up was very easy, and user friendly. I did not experience any problems connecting to the internet.After set up, with bated breath, I waited to see how the pages turned on the Kindle, and if I will find any fault with the action of turning the pages of the book I was reading. I am happy to say there was none; no noticeable long lag time, no problems were experienced with the turning of pages on this Kindle.Then I squinted my eyes, opened my eyes wide, I turned the Kindle upside down, and side to side while turning to the next page of my book; I was trying to see if there will be any trace of the previous page as I turn to the next page ( ghosting; some users experience an imprint of the former page while moving to the next page of their book). Happy to report, I tried hard to find a problem with that but I found none.What about the battery?The battery charged very quickly, and there was no problem during that process. I did charge the battery with the case on the Kindle, (as the picture shows). The Kindle came with an 80% charge and in 30 minutes (or less) it was fully charged (100%).I am hardly ever swayed by reviews:Sometimes reviews work as an incentive, or a deterrent….I always say, try an item out and make your personal decision.This Kindle is a keeper, and I am also going to purchase the new Color Kindle Colorsoft.Conclusion:This Kindle paper white Signature Edition , Gen 12/32 GB, is truly made for reading. It is certainly a handy device for traveling, and reading on the go. It is easy on the eyes, and therefore, easy on the brain. The raspberry color is really nice, and I plan on buying an extra clear case so that I could easily see the vibrant color of the kindle.I am honestly excited to be part of the Kindle family!

This is my third kindle. The screen is 7 inches, 1 inch wider than 10th generation paperwhite (2019) built-in light with 6 inch screen display. The charging is faster and the battery life is longer too. I confess, the battery life of 10th gen wasn't an issue either despite the longer charging time. The other difference is once the case lid opens Kindle wakes up to your book; no more swipe up to open like I had to do with my 10th generation. Another great feature is the bluetooth capacability, now some Kindle Unlimited books include the Audible with them. It's nice to read and listen whereas before I had to use my iPhone Kindle app to access that feature. I like the Jade color (even though I use a case) of my new Kindle. The lightness (weight) is similar to my previous older generations Kindles. It was not worth it to trade-in for $20. Both still performed as fuctionally designed. I wouldn't recommend turning on the page refresh option in Settings under Home and Library because when I swiped the screen, it refreshes one or two pages ahead.

Excellent device and absolutely beautiful color. I purchased as a gift but, due to the quality control issues around the 2024 Kindle releases, before gifting, I opened the device, upgraded the firmware, and thoroughly tested it. The device was perfect! The metallic raspberry color was stunning (I also purchased and equally love the standard PW 6 in raspberry for myself). This PW SE 6 model was fast, lightweight, had improved screen clarity and none of the yellowing issues reported by others - truly a pleasure to use. Purchased during the Black Friday sale so it was a super deal. On sale at a nice discount, the standard PW was $130 (with ads) and this SE was $155 (with no ads, a $20 value), so, for essentially $5 more (if you require ad removal), you receive quite a bit - extra 16 gb of storage, auto adjusting light, wireless charging, and the aesthetically pleasing metallic back. Long time user of many kindles and I highly recommend this device, a really nice upgrade.
