The small size makes it absolutely perfect for me, as I only intend to use it at work and it looks and feels far more natural than what a bigger model would. This was a good review and I enjoyed the fact that you were honest in what makes the device impractical for you.

I bought the basic version since they upgraded it to 300 ppi. It’s smaller and lighter than the Paperwhite and it’s blue!

Ah, you got the Denim color version. The black version purports to use more recycled materials. I’m tempted to get one, but I already have more than a few Kindle e-readers. I’m practically hOarding them! 🙈💦

In order to be “environmentally-friendly, ” I need to consume less. I did get a 2021 Paperwhite 5 Signature Edition for my brother 🤔🧐

thanks for the review. i am super picky on screen. recessed screen is always better than flushed one in term of words crispness and whiteness of background. i am happy finally amazon produced one with 300 ppi. i am selling my 6.8 paper white. just my very small 2 cents.

I am giving away my 2019 basic Kindle. I have an older Oasis, current Paperwhite and 2018 Paperwhite and yet I still want this one. The thing I loved about the 2019 basic Kindle was it's compact size. The 167 ppi wasn't good for me at night though. I guess I am Kindle obsessed. LOL. I am thinking of trading the older Oasis in for this 2022 version. Call me crazy!

Looking at how well old ereaders hold up over time, despite less fancy features, they don't need the processing power or storage like phones do, and their battery gets far less cycles when you charge it biweekly vs every day so old ones still work. Just like book exchanges exist.. maybe an ereader exchange of sorta at a library could work?

wow ty i didn't know this would work to remove the adds but it did :)

i love the basic for the size and weight. i tried the paperwhite but it felt so much bigger and heavier..

Thank you much for the tip at the end of the video. It totally worked and now I can use the book covers as my Screensaver.

I'd still buy the 2022 Paperwhite if I were buying today. I read alot before bed, so the warm light is a huge deal for me. I love my Paperwhite!

Going to get my hands on the denim soon! Had basic since 2018 so why not upgrade. With denim color, it's tempting ;D

[cherilynbarber]

I love your videos. You remind me of my son

Hi, l am wanting a kindle that will read the book to me (legally blind). Here on Amazon Australia they now have great sales. Could you please tell me if the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 GB) – With a 6.8" display, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light will read the book back to me please? Thank you.

I had the previous basic version (167 dpi), and liked it. It was a gift; I thought it was a paperwhite, it seemed so good. Nearly a year later I found out it was a basic. Id be quite happy with the new basic if I received one. I do like page-turn buttons so if Amazon brings out a new reader with buttons, I’ll buy it.

[tonybueno]

my old basic is my travel kindle. I take to work and read when slow. fits in my back pocket. i like that. paper white for my bedside tho

[shagal]

Mmm, I already have the 2012 kindle paper white, hope it die soon to be free to buy this one 😂

[nordfolk]

Hello! Is the screen on this device plastic or glass? Thank you!
