![]() Its overall dimensions are 174.2 x 124.6 x 8.1 mm. That’s particularly helpful if you’re reading a hefty tome as it makes for a more comfortable reading experience. It’s easy to hold as it only weighs 205 grams, which is just a touch more than the average smartphone. The defining feature is its 6.8-inch display which means the device has a footprint similar to the average paperback book. The form factor and design of previous Kindles is relatively unchanged on this new model, but it’s a look that didn’t need changing. ( Update – September 20, 2022: Amazon quietly added a 16GB configuration of the standard Paperwhite, priced at $149.99 / £149.99 / AU$259) Design and display This is a new addition to this series of Kindles, and it costs far more at $189.99 / £179.99 / AU$289. That Signature Edition comes with some premium features, including 32GB of storage, an auto-adjusting front light and support for wireless charging. That’s the price for an 8GB model, which should be enough storage for hundreds of ebooks and some audiobooks too. This standard Paperwhite version is available directly from Amazon and a variety of other retailers. It was unveiled alongside two new editions: the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and the Kindle Paperwhite for Kids. I read for around an hour every day with 50% brightness, and my Paperwhite still has 55% battery in the tank going into the fourth week.This edition of the Kindle Paperwhite was launched in September 2021, and it went on sale soon after. Keep in mind that you might not come close to the claimed 10-week endurance if you’re a heavy user and keep the front light on all the time. I’ve had the Paperwhite 11th Gen for almost five months now, and I have only charged it three times, which is crazy when you think about it. Combine that with faster charging and USB-C, and the Paperwhite 11th Gen puts even the flagship Kindle Oasis to shame, which has a micro USB port and boasts six weeks of battery life. But you can’t complain about even better battery life. Honestly, my previous Paperwhite already had such amazing battery life I wouldn’t have minded if there was no improvement in the battery department at all. But the new version sets the bar even higher by promising up to 10 weeks of battery life. The Paperwhite 10th Gen offered up to six weeks of endurance. Kindle e-readers are known for their marathon battery life, often going on for weeks (not days) on a single charge. ![]() However, if you don’t want to shell out $50 extra for this perk, it’s possible to add wireless charging to the standard Kindle Paperwhite, as we demonstrate in this article. If you hate cables altogether, you can pick up the Paperwhite Signature Edition, which comes with wireless charging support. That said, you won’t find a charging brick inside the box, but any of your existing charging adapters should work just fine. Amazon bundles a USB-A to USB-C cable inside the box, but pretty much any USB-C cable at your disposal will do. Not that the Kindle e-readers need frequent charging, but it indeed feels good not having to carry an extra cable when traveling. The USB-C port means you can now juice up the Paperwhite with the same cable you charge your phone and laptop with. So naturally, when Amazon came out with the new USB-C equipped Paperwhite 11th Gen, I didn’t need much convincing to make the jump. It was the only device in my gadget arsenal to have microUSB. One thing that I absolutely hated about my old Paperwhite was its micro USB port. Additionally, you can customize the amount of warmth added to the screen with a dedicated warmth slider. The previous Paperwhite did offer a stop gate solution in the form of Dark Mode, but it couldn’t help you avoid blue light exposure. The Warm Light feature is accessible from the drop-down menu at the top, with an option to have it automatically enabled at your preferred time. Warm Light has definitely made my late-night reading sessions more enjoyable and easier on the eyes. But just like your smartphone and laptop, you can turn the screen color temperature of your Paperwhite to the warmer end of the color spectrum to cut down on harsh blue light. Research shows exposure to blue light at night can disrupt our natural sleep and wake cycle, making it harder to fall asleep. The feature, which first debuted on the Kindle Oasis, uses a series of amber lights to cast a warm yellow tint over the display for a more comfortable reading experience. If you’re someone who mostly reads at bedtime, you’re going to love the new Warm Light on the Paperwhite 11th Gen. Great for Bedtime Reading Kishan Vyas / How-To Geek
