Our Take
The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite is the sweet spot of Amazon's e-reader lineup. The 6.8-inch, 300 ppi glare-free display is noticeably larger than previous generations, and the warm-light option makes reading comfortable in any lighting condition.
It's IPX8 waterproof — tested to withstand immersion in 2 meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. Perfect for the beach, bath, or pool. The 16GB storage holds thousands of books, and a single charge lasts up to 10 weeks.
The adjustable warm light shifts the screen tone from white to amber, reducing blue light for comfortable nighttime reading. USB-C charging means one less cable to carry. Page turns are 20% faster than the previous generation.
