With its onboard light sensors, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is capable of automatically adjusting the brightness of the backlight depending on ambient lighting around you. Of course, Amazon has had this smooth display for several years now, but it was a welcome change to someone who regularly uses a 2017 Kindle. The other thing that makes page turning so seamless is the display, which sits flat and flush with the bezels. It feels as fast or faster than turning a physical page, and I don't really notice any delay in turning pages. Now, rather than waiting a second or two for the sluggish page turn animations, it happens almost instantaneously. As someone who has a four-year-old Paperwhite, I can attest that the difference is noticeable and makes a huge impact on the overall experience. This is the smoothest UI I've ever experienced on a Kindle e-reader.Į-readers aren't generally known for being zippy devices, but this new generation of Kindle Paperwhites promises 20% faster page turns than the previous generation. And when you do finally need to recharge your Kindle, it thankfully features a USB-C port instead of that dated micro-USB technology - hallelujah! Of course, Amazon's Kindles are famously built with excellent battery life, but I love the idea that I could go on a two-month hiking tour of Europe and still have battery left to spare.
However, what's more impressive to me than the wireless charging capability is the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition's battery life. The device works on any of the best Qi wireless chargers, from flat disks to angled stands. I didn't find much personal benefit from this feature, but it's pretty cool that it's available here if you need or want it. Depending on your usage and charging habits, this might be a game-changer.
