Great Bundle For The Price

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2023

I purchased this Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Bundle around Christmas last year, I think it was on sale for $189 at the time -not sure what the current price is, but for me, I feel it's worth the purchase. As both case and charging dock come with the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle is easy to hold, battery life is about what I've had/experienced with all the Kindles I've had through the years, my advice is don't keep the WiFi connected/on, as it will definitely drain the battery. It holds plenty of books, it's part of why I wanted it, as I missed the extra storage space after my Oasis bit the dust, and downgraded back to the basic Kindle awhile. I also tend to read a lot of big tomes as it were and those take up more space, however I didn't want another Oasis just yet, so I decided to try this instead, seems to be working well so far, the touchscreen is easy to navigate and use and I quite like the layout of the home and library view. The case is well-fitting and I like it, there's not much more I can say, it's pretty much your standard Kindle case-Paperwhite Signature Edition -so it's designed for this particular Kindle, and likely will not fit other Kindles. The only thing I can't vouch for is the charging dock, as I've not used it yet, I've only had this bundle a month and have not read much, plus I live in the South and our weather has been eventful of late to say the least and I've been weary of trying this out in the event we suddenly lose power. I will update this review eventually to add my impressions of the charging dock. All in all I'd say it's worth the purchase if you are looking for a new Kindle.

Too bad there is no color

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023

I Iove my regular Kindle. I received it as a gift a number of years ago and have used it daily ever since. That's why I was so excited to finally be able to afford the Paperwhite. Living in Florida means there's sunshine most every day so I looked forward to having the choice of inside or outdoor reading. My first disappointment was that although I could read the book in the sun, the screen glares so badly, that I've had to order and pay for a special non-glare shield to eliminate the glare. My second disappointment was that there is no color. Everything is in black and white like looking at old-timey movies and TV. Why oh why is there no color? The books to purchase in your personal library are so much more enticing when you see the covers in bright colors. And the ability to highlight words and interesting sentences in color while reading gives you flexibility and the ability to categorize your choices. Everything first underlined and then changing to a grey highlight is boring plus it gives no choice to indicate different reasons for highlighting a specific passage or a new word. The third thing I was disappointed with was that you find information by using new commands. Why aren't they the same as in a regular Kindle so that a reader can easily transition from one Amazon product to another. Having to search for new commands and finding it difficult to find answers and too often discovering they are only available on YouTube which you do not subscribe to. It takes the fun out of purchasing alleged aligned products. My Paperwhite also doesn't track well and doesn't keep up with the reading I do on my Kindle very well. I still love my Kindle products though and will keep using them daily. Thanks for letting me vent my suggestions.

Love the charging dock!

I have had several Kindles and really like this one. I love that you can use a charging dock to charge it up. No need to search for the charging cord every time. It is sitting there ready to go when your battery is low, which is not often. The battery last a long, long time in this one. This Kindle is lightweight, easy to hold and has a great, easy to read screen. Very glad that I got this one. Now I keep this one downstairs and my Kindle Oasis (which is also good) upstairs so I don’t have to worry about carrying one back and forth every day and always have one handy when I have time to read.

Better than expected! Get it!

My daughter is an avid reader and was apprehensive about switching to an e-reader. Luckily, the Kindle Paperlight Signature helped ease her mind. The screen looks almost paper-like, it’s light, and easy to use. The cork case looks great and charges easily on the wireless stand. Overall, we are SUPER happy with our purchase! So much so, that we ordered a second and third one for the rest of the family!

Nice upgrade

Have owned both a previous Kindle and Paperwhite. When the paperwhite's battery started to drain too fast, decided it was time for an upgrade and this is a nice replacement. Screen is responsive, love having no bezel so dog hair and cat hair can't get in the bezel. Still lightweight and easy to hold while traveling or lying down.

Not too crazy about the newest Kindle Paperwhite

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2023

Option: Black DeviceDigital Storage Capacity: 32 GBColor: Cork DarkVerified Purchase

I liked my old Paperwhite but it finally went wacko and had to be replaced. This one is a nice size, looks nice, is easy to read. It keeps good battery power for much longer than my previous ones. But, I hate the new library feature which I find very hard to use and I don't like that my new books don't automatically download. The touchscreen can be difficult--there have been times when it won't work at all until I close it long enough to rest and then awaken it.

Excellent E-reader

I use this all the time. It's easy on the eyes, portable and the battery life is excellent compared to other editions I have used and finally used USB-C. In all, a quality product that I am happy I purchased.

Finally, an e-reader that works better than the printed book

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023

Option: Black DeviceDigital Storage Capacity: 32 GBColor: Cork LightVerified Purchase

I've bought and returned e-readers in the past, in favor of sticking with printed books. I read a LOT. This Kindle converted me, however. The reading part is straightforward and much better than printed pages in darker environments. The extras really make the difference. Getting a definition while you're reading is huge. So is highlighting passages for reference later. So is keeping extra books in your library for ready reference. The small size makes the Kindle ideal for taking your book with you to the coffee shop, the auto mechanic, the doctor's office. The cork cover is gorgeous and has often been the subject of compliments. The wireless charging is easy and the battery charge lasts weeks. Finally, Kindle books are often a tiny fraction of the cost of paperback or hardcover editions. I'm a convert, I'm sold, and I proselytize on the 21st century marvel of the new and best kind of book.

The weight

I like this version of kindle because you don’t need to press the sides to turn the page. Just swipe it, so easy to use especially reading using one hand due to the light weight of it. My old one is a bit heavier.
