Very happy with the latest Kindle Paperwhite. The screen is sharp, lighting is excellent, battery lasts a long time, and it’s comfortable to hold. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great e-reader.

Good reading and feeling.
Excelente to read books. Bright is good even in sunny days. I also have the 7th generation and this version feels faster and the screen also feels better.

Awesome for reading! So convenient!
I can't believe I didn't for this sooner. It's just amazing for reading. The storage is small, but since it's only books, it's basically limitless in practicality. You can adjust the brightness according to the room ambiance. It's easy to hold with any cover that has a strap, and the battery performance is outstanding. Amazing and I'm so happy to get back into the reading habit with the kindle!

Es Justo lo que imagine con la pantalla, me prometí reducir el tiempo en redes sociales y tener una mejor opción para leer pdf porque sufro de los ojos. En este dispositivo me encantaría que tuviera IA, ChatGPT o algo así y ya sería más que Perfecto, no me importa que sea blanco y negro porque solo lo uso para leer y dura semanas la batería.

KINDLE IS TOP-NOTCH.
I’ve been using it for over 15 years. My previous one was version 11, and now I’ve switched to 12. As always, everything is excellent. There are almost no differences compared to version 11. However, right from the very first power-on there was a burnt (dead) pixel. It’s a small thing, but still disappointing.

今年のうちに Colorsoft SE → 無印Kindle(第11世代) → Paperwhite(第12世代)と、最高の“紙らしさ”を求めてちょっと無茶な買い方をしてしまいました。実際に3台を2カ月ほど使ってみた結果、第12世代がなぜ「読書体験の完成形」と感じられたのか、その理由を整理します。 ■ 文字中心の読書:白地の質感と色味の違い 電子ペーパーで最も重要なのは「白地の質」ですが、ここが機種ごとにかなり異なります。 ・Colorsoft SE カラーE Ink特有の構造により、白地に「スクリーンドア効果(微細なザラつき)」が感じられます。また、画面全体の輝度が低めで、色の暖かさを上げるとマゼンタ寄りの発色になる傾向があります。 ・無印Kindle(第11世代) 非常に軽快で読みやすいところはさすがですが、白地のトーンは青白く、「コピー用紙に印字された事務資料」のようなクールな印象。長時間の没入感という点では、Paperwhiteに及びません。 ・Paperwhite(第12世代) 理想的な「落ち着いたクリーム色」の白地を実現しています。文字の輪郭も極めてシャープで、まるで高品質な単行本を読んでいるような安定感。電子ペーパー本来の「目に優しい」恩恵を最も素直に享受できます。 ■ モノクロ漫画:黒の締まりとコントラスト ・Paperwhite(第12世代) コントラストが非常に優秀で、「黒が深く締まる」ため、画面が非常に立体的です。小さなセリフの可読性も、このモデルが頭一つ抜けています。 ・Colorsoft SE 背景の白地に微細なモアレ(干渉縞)が浮くことがあり、モノクロ表現の純粋さでは第12世代が勝ります。 ・無印Kindle(第11世代) 全体的にコントラストが低く、ベタ塗りの黒がグレーに近い煤けた印象になります。 ■ 操作感とレスポンス 添付動画の通り、特に図版や写真を含むページでのレスポンスはPaperwhite(第12世代)が圧倒的に高速です。ページめくりの瞬間の白黒反転(チラつき)も最小限に抑えられており、ストレスフリーな読書が可能です。 【結論】 防水やバッテリー性能の向上も魅力ですが、何より「紙のような読み心地」という本質において、第12世代は圧倒的な完成度に達しています。紆余曲折ありましたが、本気で読書を楽しみたい方には、迷わずこれをおすすめします。

Fue un regalo de navidad y es el mejor regalo que cualquier persona lectora podria recibir. Funciona perfectamente, la personalizacion esta bien, poder cambiar las fuentes y el tamaño para mayor comodidad, yo prefiero que sea lo mas parecido a un libro fisico. Solia leer en mi teléfono y el cambio es mucho, me es mas comodo a la vista y no me cansa a comparación con la pantalla del teléfono, la luz calida y el modo oscuro de verdad te ayuda en la noche. Si la recomiendo mucho, es mejor que estar gastando mucho dinero en libros que al final ni puedes leer en otros lugares que no sean en casa, este es mas ligero y fácil de llevar a todos lados 🫶🏼

Great upgrade from my Kindle Paperwhite 6th Gen, almost 10+yrs old kindle! Like the speed and warm lighting of the new kindle with the fact that it is USB-C

I upgraded from the 2018 model (shows how indestructible these things are) and this newer model is essentially the same but crucially faster. I immediately notice the page swipe is quicker and there's no lag when shopping. If you're upgrading, you'll notice the size difference. I have small hands and I think I'll need a strap for this model. I was worried about the weight increase as I read my kindle a lotttt but it's barely noticeable. If you're new to paper white, I'd say it's the best model of the kindle range. No glare, no unnecessary colours, doesn't keep you awake like other screens and the brightness and text size adjustments are ideal - lots of range to find what's right for you.And as mentioned, they're indestructible. I've never used a case and my previous model has been around the world for 8 years. Comparison photos of paper white 10th gen / 2018 and the new model. Brightness set to 6/24 and font size 3/14 (personal preference)
