Sure it has a bigger screen, the lighting system is lights out better and USB-C is critical, but if you put it side by side with the previous generation Paperwhite with just the home screen showing or completely powered off, you wouldn’t notice much of a difference. I am sure this has something to do with the company wanting to get carbon neutral.Īmazon is not breaking any new ground with the overall hardware design aesthetic.

I can really see it getting damaged when delivery drivers just chuck in onto your porch. Amazon also seems to be using different retail packaging with this generation, it is flimsy recycled cardboard and there is no protection of the Kindle, it just has a static proof bag.

There is no home button or manual page turn buttons, there also isn’t any expandable storage via an SD card. On the bottom of the unit is the USB-C port, power button and status indictor light. The back is jet black and has a piano black embossed logo that says, Kindle. The Paperwhite 5 is very minimalist, compared to previous models. It is powered by a 1700 mAh battery and the dimensions are 124.6 x 174.2 x 8.1 mm and weighs 205g. The battery will last around ten weeks, which is very solid for an e-reader. Amazon says you can still use your Kindle after getting a liquid detection notice, but you just won’t be able to charge. If the device is wet, a notification will appear on the screen, and you will be unable to charge your Kindle until it is dry. What is interesting about the USB-C port, is that it has moisture detection. This is useful if you are reading in the bathtub or if you spill something on the Kindle, you can simply run it under tap water to clean it, without having to worry about damaging it. It is rated IPX8 to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes, and up to 0.25 meters of seawater for up to 3 minutes.

The sound quality is very good, but entirely depends on the quality of Bluetooth accessories. This is because it is running Bluetooth 5.0. One of the big draws of the Kindle Paperwhite 5 is being able to purchase Audible audiobooks right on the e-reader and connect a pair of wireless headphones or an external speaker.

This will result in older Kindle models not being able to connect to 3G networks anymore. US and international carriers will be sunsetting their 3G networks later this year. Likely the company realized that this is nothing but trouble.

Amazon has decided to not provide cellular options for this generation, so there is no LTE/4G variants for purchase.

You will be able to connect it up to your MAC or PC via USB-C to charge it or to transfer digital content. Underneath the hood is a MT8113 SOC 1 GHZ processor, 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The whole screen to bezel ratio is certainly declining, hopefully this design standard will carry over to future Kindles. This has been one of the best new design changes. The sides and top have way less bezel, but the bottom looks a bit chunky. One of the things that I like about the new Paperwhite is that the bezels are smaller. To be fair, the vast majority of e-readers have glass that protects the e-paper display. If you are reading outdoors, direct sunlight will also put glare on the screen. I have found that glass reflects overhead light when reading indoors, such as a lamp. The screen is flush with the bezel, protected by a layer of glass. This is the first time that Amazon brought over the warm light screen to the Paperwhite, it used to be a Kindle Oasis exclusive. The Kindle Paperwhite 4, had an excellent lighting system, with 5 LED lights, but the Paperwhite 5 has 17 white and amber LED lights, giving users the ability to get a candlelight effect. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 11th generation features a 6.8 inch E INK Carta 1200 touchscreen display with a resolution of 1236 x 1648 and 300 PPI.

Amazon has also introduced a new page turn animation system, which seamlessly blends the text. The large 6.8 display provides ample screen real estate for more text and manga looks really really good. It is using a brand new E INK Carta 1200 display, which has increased page turn speed by over 20% and the overall performance of navigating around, is 50% faster than the previous generation. The 11th Generation Kindle Paperwhite 5 is now available and there are a few major selling points. The Amazon Kindle is the most popular e-reader brand in the world, everyone has heard of it, even if they have never seen one in person before.
