#NEW KINDLE FULL#
Having been reading a few hours for the past five days, starting from a full charge, I'm still at 50% charge. Not that you'll need to worry about charging that often with the all-new Kindle Paperwhite. Most of the Kindles in my house have been abandoned simply because they eventually stopped charging altogether. The previous charging connectors were finicky and prone to breakage. Suffice to say, the USB-C and Qi wireless charging are vast improvements over previous gen Kindle Paperwhites. The virtual buttons are fixed, so you'll need two hands to flip back and forth. There's no flipping the Kindle Paperwhite around and to your other hand. Indeed, if I was going to level a complaint at the all-new Kindle Paperwhite, it's that there's only one "correct" way to hold it. There's no notch in the back to encourage one-handed reading or page-turn buttons. If you're coming from a Kindle Oasis, you will notice the uniform form factor. It means that you can tweak the font to fit even more of what you're reading on each page or make the font bigger without feeling like you're reading a children's picture book. 02 inches smaller than the Kindle Oasis, you'd be hard pressed to notice the difference, even when they're side-by-side. You might lose sleep to a good book, but it won't be because of blue light. The warmth adjustments are good for this as well, casting a more sepia tone on the screen as it gets later. And the auto-adjusting lighting of the Signature Edition makes the experience even better, ratcheting the lighting down as the ambient light dims so that you're not staring into a searchlight. The backlighting ensures that the screen stays legible no matter if you're in a dark room or sitting in full sun. The Kindle Paperwhite's 300 ppi screen is the same as the Kindle Oasis and is crystal clear in any lighting condition.

Like its predecessor, the all-new Kindle Paperwhite is also waterproof. You'll see a performance boost with a 20% faster processor as well. Not that you'll have to charge that often, since the bigger battery should last you around 10 weeks. It only takes around 2.5 hours to charge the Kindle Paperwhite completely. It adopts the USB-C connector of the base-model Kindle, giving you the ability to fast-charge your device to around 25% in 15 minutes. It has either 8 GB of storage for the base model or 32 GB for the Signature Edition. The Signature Edition adds an auto-adjusting front light and Qi wireless charging. It's the same size and form factor as the previous Kindle Paperwhite, shrinking the bezels around the edges of the tablet to accommodate the larger screen. The all-new Kindle Paperwhite has a (relatively) huge 6.8-inch screen (up from 6 inches), an absolutely gorgeous 300 ppi (pixels-per-inch) display, and an adjustable light with warmth setting (so that reading in the dark is easier on your eyes). Just in case you didn't read my original article, here's the rundown of the newest Kindle Paperwhite.
