Striking upgrade to my 2018 Kindle!

Striking upgrade to my 2018 Kindle!
I'm a daily reader who takes my kindle to the beach and throws it in my bag and my old 2018 kindle was struggling to charge, so it was time to upgrade. SO happy I finally did! The read screen as you will see is over a 1/2 inch bigger on both sides and its noticeable when reading. The set up was super easy from the kindle app, even pulled over my wifi connections so it took about 1 min to set up. Came with 90d of kindle unlimited and 30d audible (which I've never tried but why not) for free too. Not sure why this seems to be my favorite feature but there's no ads on the lock screen and you can set it to the cover of the book you are reading!!!! I read a book every 1-2 weeks and the only thing I miss about a paper book is the cover so it finally allows me to see it so I know what book I'm reading. Overall I'm really loving this new paperwhite in denim. I covered it in stickers and bought the clear case and a screen protector and I'm ready for the beach again. This is my 4th kindle and I just read a hardcover while my old kindle was struggling and it confirmed again why I prefer e- reading over paper (and let's be honest, aside from the bulk of a real book, e-books are about 1/3 of the price and you can take them anywhere). Buy it, this one is worth the investment!
