Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review: The best e-reader for avid bookworms
The new Kindle Paperwhite (2021) finally brings USB-C to the table, plus color temperature adjustment, and a bigger screen with thinner bezels.
Bigger, brighter screen ; Warmer color temperature adjustments ; USB-C charging port ; Waterproof
Screen smudges easily ; No auto-adjusting light
“The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite ticks all the major boxes with USB-C, a bigger screen, and an improved reading experience. It's one of the best e-readers to get.”

Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review: Luxurious updates raise the bar—and the price
Amazon's popular e-reader gets a revamp that makes it bigger and better, but the improvements don't come for free.
Larger screen (6.8-inch) ; Long battery life (up to 10 weeks+) ; Front lighting is more even and supports cool and warm tones ; Automatic screen brightness & wireless charging support (Signature Edition) ; USB-C charging port
Larger screen (6.8-inch) ; Long battery life (up to 10 weeks+) ; Front lighting is more even and supports cool and warm tones ; Automatic screen brightness & wireless charging support (Signature Edition) ; USB-C charging port
The higher starting price of the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is commensurate with its luxurious, comfortable reading experience. A bigger screen, higher-resolution, and an improved front light make it an extremely appealing e-reader in its own right, and...

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) Review
Amazon's 2021 edition of the Kindle Paperwhite is similar to the excellent 2018 version, but adds a roomier screen that makes for an even better reading experience.

Kindle Paperwhite 2021 review: A better screen and a nearly perfect size
The new Paperwhite adds USB-C charging, which is good, but the 6.8-inch screen is its biggest improvement.
Larger 6.8-inch E Ink display in a chassis that's only slightly bigger and a tad heavier ; Light adds warmth settings and is a touch brighter ; USB-C charging ; Improved battery life ; Fully waterproof
No dedicated page-turn buttons ; A little more expensive than the previous model ; Costs $20 to remove the ads

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review
Once again the best ereading experience for most people
Large and clear display ; Switched to USB-C ; Comfortable reading experience
More expensive than previous models ; Lacks wireless charging ; Limited to Amazon’s store
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite remains the must-have ereader for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money on a gadget but also don’t want the most basic option out there. The introduction of USB-C and a larger battery are exciting, but it may not be...
