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

I took the plunge and upgraded from the Kindle 2022 (basic) to the paper white signature 2024 in the metallic raspberry and WOW.Its amazing how much that extra inch makes a difference.I loved the 2022 basic Kindle and had a lot of use out of it. It served me well.But the upgrade was definitely worth it. It was a bit pricey but I traded in the 2022 for 20% off and a gift card so that was nice.The quality is much better than the 2022 one but with the price difference it should be.It also has double the storage capacity, although that wasn't a concern.The screen looks amazing compared to the 2022 Kindle.I found with the 2022 Kindle it was causing fatigue and I couldn't find the right size font to use as I am a spectacle wearer but the paper white is so much more crisper and I find I can actually reduce the font size and not struggle as much seeing it its alot more comfier to use.Also With the 2022 Kindle I found it harder to read if the sun was shining on the screen I had to turn it slightly or sit in a different position to read. That is no longer an issue and its not much heavier than the old Kindle its actually a nice weight in the hand.Im glad I didn't chose the colour soft version as I wouldn't have used it to its full potential.I am so happy with my purchase (even if it was pricey) I will have more than my moneys worth out of the device.

Let me start by saying I’m incredibly happy right now! It’s been a journey, but I finally have the right Kindle!Just to give some context, I’ve had three Kindle Coloursoft. The original order Amazon had a banner on the product saying they were aware of issues, but they’ve since been fixed. However, each Coloursoft I’ve had was bad. The Kaleido screen was so bad that it gave me migraines. Let’s just say, colour eInk is not great right now, and it will need more time to mature.Now, let’s talk about the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. This is the Kindle to get. The Carta screens are the best that are out there for eReaders, and nothing comes close.This screen is so good that I could literally read for days without getting tired or straining my eyes. It’s just perfect.The battery life is also the best I’ve seen. I don’t think I’ve seen anything that comes close to what PW has to offer.The storage is also great. If you need more than this, let me know how you do it!I’ve paired my PWSE with the Kindle Ruby Leader case, and it’s such a perfect match. You can feel the quality.Amazon, you know how to make eReaders. Don’t follow the trend of colour eInk just because. Wait until it’s at least as good as Carta for text. To all the influencers who say it’s great, and to all the Kobo's promoters, they need to have their eyes checked. I said what I said.

Update: So after having this kindle for a week, I just couldn’t get on with it. Something wasn’t right with it. It did still have minor ghosting but the text seemed unclear. It was a strain. I called Amazon who offered replacement because I couldn’t accept refund due to a discount code I used and wouldn’t get back! Replacement came and I was stunned at how much worse it was compared to mine. I have attached photos where you can clearly see the same brightness settings but the replacement has a yellow screen without the warmth on!! 3rd try, phoned amazon again who didn’t really understand what I was talking about but sent me another replacement. This 3rd kindle made everything fall into place. It was white. I hadn’t realised that my original was grey. Text was crisper and ghosting not a thing. It’s pretty much perfect.It disappoints me that Amazon haven’t got this right. They did not push out a consistent product and should have recalled them. I will also warn you that Amazon will send you a replacement but it will be REFURBISHED as this is part of their warranty agreement. This to me is a bit of a joke given that I bought brand new and am keeping a second hand one. I have agreed to this because it’s better than my original and I know it can’t be older than October but I think it’s shoddy. It really is pot luck on the quality of what kindle you receive. I have left the 5 stars because I love my new (refurbished) kindle. But Amazon as a company get 2 stars now.3rd photo is my original with 1st replacement4th photo original(top) 1st replacement then last replacement which I kept.Original review:Received this for Xmas (which I arranged)! Got it for a great price, Black Friday PLUS traded in my old paper white 5th gen so got an extra 20% off. I went for the SE version for the auto light adjust. I really wanted the colorsoft but have been closely monitoring the reviews and I just wasn’t prepared to risk it. I had also been closely monitoring the reviews of this kindle too. The main faults being a yellow hue, dead pixels or ghosting. I will say that researching is good but in my case I over did it and so…When I opened this on Xmas morning the very first thing I did was QC myself, probably better than what Amazon have been doing! I was looking for the faults and to my despair it had bad ghosting. I was so disappointed. I could clearly see the book covers in the background of the next page. I did call Amazon and their robot told me they wouldn’t replace as they’re out of stock but I had time to request for exchange so I left it.There was a software update but I had to do this manually which is very easy to do, as it wasn’t showing on my kindle yet. I had also researched ghosting and apparently this is normal for any eink display (within reason) I just didn’t remember my old one doing this.For whatever reason my kindle is FINE now. The ghosting seems to have settled. This might be because it’s been sitting in its box a long time and now it’s being used it’s ok. It could have something to do with the update but I don’t think so. Yes, there is very minor ghosting now but I really have to look for it otherwise I wouldn’t notice. I wish I had read a review which said “it might be ok after a few hours use” which is why I wanted to leave this here! Bad form from Amazon for all the kindle issues, I assume they wanted it pushed out for Black Friday before Xmas but that’s just not good enough for these expensive devices.Things I love on this kindle are the warm light. Makes such a difference if you’ve never had it. The auto adjust. Love that I can go to bed and it just sorts itself out in the darkness. Dark mode is cool. The colour (jade) beautiful. Page turn animations are fancy and it is super speedy. I can actually search for a book in the store without waiting a whole minute for each letter to catch up!My only con is their current reputation!Hope this helps some people because I really love mine now. I have included some photos of the ghosting I was seeing but this has resolved!
