Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition review: this top ereader just got even better

 

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition gives you tonnes of storage, a big 6.8-inch screen and wireless charging

6.8-inch screen ; Completely waterproof ; Wireless charging

More expensive than the Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is one of the best e-readers you can buy right now - it has 32GB of storage, a big 6.8-inch screen, automatic brightness, no ads and wireless charging. It is pricier than the standard Paperwhite but it's worth it!

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2021) review

 

A new Kindle Paperwhite tier, a (slightly) new experience

Bigger screen area than predecessor ; Longer battery life ; USB-C is convenient

Wireless charging is finicky ; High price ; Slow page turn speed

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is a good ereader, but the few premium perks, like wireless charging and an auto-adjusting display, don’t quite justify the price leap from the standard Kindle Paperwhite. Still, upgrades to USB-C and a wider...

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition review

 

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is the best eReader you can buy, but the extra features here are overkill for most people

Great display with adjustable warm light ; Stellar battery life ; Solid performance ; USB-C and wireless charging

Ineffective auto brightness ; Some software inconsistencies ; Relatively expensive ; No 4G model

Th e brand-new Signature Edition is a huge upgrade over the 2018 Paperwhite, but so is the new regular model . Unless you need more storage or wireless charging, it’s probably worth saving some money.

We go hands-on with the new Kindle Paperwhite, which was updated with many of the features found in the high-end Kindle Oasis.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2021) review: The upgrade is worth the money

 

It's not much pricier than the regular Kindle Paperwhite (2021) and you get more storage, no ads, and wireless charging.

Great display ; Tons of storage ; Auto-adjusting front light is useful

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Review

 

Automatically adjusting front light ; Wireless charging support ; 32GB of storage ; No ads

Expensive ; New features don't make a big difference over the standard Paperwhite

Amazon's Paperwhite Signature Edition offers more features than standard model, including wireless charging and automatic front light adjustments, but they aren't worth the extra $50.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Review

 

For 2021, Amazon is splitting the Kindle Paperwhite line in two. Yes, there's a new $139.99 Paperwhite model, with a bigger display and longer battery, but it's joined by the first Kind…

Bigger display is now brighter ; Finally, USB-C charging ; Signature Edition gets convenient auto-brightness and Qi ; Longer battery life

No cellular option ; Some software features feel gimmicky ; No headphone jack

If it's not broken, you don't have to fix it. But fine-tuning is encouraged.
