Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

This top ereader just got even better, giving you tons of storage, a big 6.8-inch screen and wireless charging

- 

Some might be fooled into thinking the new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is the same as the Paperwhite because they look similar at first glance, but there are some big differences. With a new 6.8-inch screen, 32GB of storage, wireless charging and automatic brightness, this has just about everything you could need - without spending upwards of £200 on the Kindle Oasis.

Firstly, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has a 6.8-inch display in comparison to the 6-inch screen on the cheaper model. You also won't be plagued with ads and you'll get 32GB of storage, up from 8GB on the Kindle Paperwhite.

When it comes to the display, the Signature Edition has a matte coating with 300ppi and a 16-level greyscale. Words and numbers look precise and sharp in a very clear, uncomplicated font. It's a really pleasurable experience reading on the screen and you can even see it in bright sunlight because it doesn't suffer from glare.

It's also easy on the eyes because the backlight automatically adjusts itself based on the lighting around you, switching between white and warm lights, as well as increasing or decreasing the brightness level. It works well and we didn't find ourselves squinting as afternoon turned into evening.

Made from 60% post-consumer recycled plastics, it has black bezels surrounding its screen that are thick enough to hold without touching the screen but thin enough that the e-reader still looks sleek and compact. It a measures 174 x 125 x 8.1mm and weighs 207g so it's small and light enough to easily hold onehanded, plus the rubber backing makes it grippy enough to not slide out of your hands. It's waterproof as well, with a rating of IPX8.
