Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen) Review: The E-reader Champ Is Back

Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen) Review: The E-reader Champ Is Back


All-New Kindle Paperwite is finally here! Launched in international markets later last year, the 12th generation kindle packed a tonne upgrade. This should be cheered for users in India who were disappointed after the disappearance of the Kindle from the e-commerce platform Amazon last year. Rupee. 16,999, the new kindle comes in the same black color and is now available on amazon.in.

So, what does the latest Kindle bring to the table? Lots of upgrades, but some missing features. The company claims that the latest e-reader is the fastest and thinnest paperwite ever. Well, it’s not bad for the beginning, for a model that went away from the shelves and finally returned after a gap of about a year. Let’s dive into the review, where I will talk about why the latest kindle is the best kindle for you in Pepperwite recent years.

All-New Kindle Paperwite is available on Rs. 16,999

Kindle Pepperwite (12th gene) design: appears with familiar improvement

  • Dimensions: 127.5×176.7×7.8 mm
  • Weight: 211 grams
  • Waterproofing: IPX8-Ratid

Kindle comes to the top of every e-book readers’ list, and the reason is simple: it offers to read distraction-free. A true book lover cannot find it on a smartphone or tablet. The new Kindle Pepperwite (12th gene) offers a 7-inch shine-free e-Enc display, slightly larger than a 6.8-inch display, which we have found on the Pepperwite Signature Edition (2021). While the size difference is not significant, the new kindle looks long.

Interestingly, Amazon chose to stick to some basic characteristics such as resolution, but it still stuck on the new Kindle on the 300ppi pixel density, similar to the older model. The new kindle is still rated IPX8, so it is tested to withstand immersion in 2 meters of fresh water for 60 minutes.

It has a USB-C port to charge

Matt glass around the display is now smud-free, a huge improvement, and the back side’s soft touch texture is still pleasant for long-term reading sessions.

At 211 grams, the new kindle is slightly heavy, but you will not notice anything until you compare it with the Pepperwight Signature Edition (2021) than the side-by-side. The back also has curved arrows indicating Amazon’s prestigious people.

It is worth noting that despite the long trend of the new kindle paperwite, the device is still manageable by one hand and provides excellent ergonomics for the comfort of reading with one hand. The rubberbit makes an excellent material for catching the back material.

Long talk, it is the same old kindle feeling with a large display and some slight improvement touch.

A 7 -inch performance on the new kindle has a high contrast ratio

Kindle Pepperwite (12th Jean) Performance and Perform: Best you can get now

  • Performance and Resolution: 7-inch and 300ppi
  • Processor – Dual -Core Processor
  • Battery: up to 12 weeks (claimed, based on use)

The biggest attraction of the new Kindle Peppervit is its performance. It is the largest screen on a paperwite device and is also claimed to be the thinning. Compared to Kindle Pepperwite Signature Edition (2021), the larger screen is not immediate noticeable. Nevertheless, you get a longer stance, and it certainly offers a better screen-to-body ratio for a better reading experience. The 1264×1680 pixel screen resolution appears more crisp, although the 300ppi pixel density remains similar to the final kindle. The display on the new kindle uses an oxide thin-film transistor that the company claims to increase the reading experience with sharp text and images that pop the screen.

Then, there is also a double-core processor under the hood and the claimed 25 percent faster page turns. The processor on devices such as kindle will not give you any feeling of processing improvement during daily use. However, you can notice a more responsive experience while jumping through pages and opening a book. Flipping through the chapters and scrolling through the Kindle Library also feels staggering on the new kindle compared to the older models. In terms of purely reading experience, the latest kindle kindle seems better than the paperwite signature edition (2021). It also provides brightness and warm light adjustment options for a comfortable reading experience. Everything on the new model is sharp, crisp and clear. Of course, I am comparing with the 2021 version. However, adding auto shine feature to the new kindle would have a cherry on the cake.

The added weight on the new kindle paperwite does not feel too much in daily use compared to the Signature Edition (2021). Performance is excellent, and I had no problem using the kindle to read and sunlight or a dim light. Onboard has 16GB storage, which means that there is enough space to store thousands of your books. However, I think a little more storage is ideal, given that there are no kindle tools that people want to switch to every year or two. For example, I have been using my Kindle Pepperwight Signature Edition (2021) for almost three years. After testing the new kindle, I realized that the new is a snapper, and I can switch to it purely to upgrade.

With dark mode, you can switch between black text on a white background or white text on a black background. Then, you also get familiar features such as selecting font based on your personal choice or customizing the font size. Users also get features like highlight, X-ray and book cover lock screen. Users also get a popular voiceview feature that is available only on Bluetooth audio. This provides spoken response, allowing users to navigate the devices and read books with text-to-speech. However, features are available only in English. Almost everyone loves the Kindle The biggest reason is that the Kindle Store has access to the title worldwide.

New Kindle Packs 12 White LED and 13 Amber LED

Regarding battery life, Amazon claims that it can lasle for 12 weeks on a charge. However, this claim depends on the use. The good thing is that it packs USB-type C for charging, so there is no problem carrying a dedicated charging cable to the kindle.

If you keep your kindle screen for extra time without actually use, it can affect your battery life. During my time with the device, I have found that the Kindle has been solid in terms of battery performance. At the time of writing this review, it has been at 65 percent charge, and I have charged it only once to complete it, after receiving it for this review, which was in late April. And my daily use is about an hour to read before bed, so it is honestly decent.

Kindle Pepperwite (12th Jean) Review: Decision

So, should you choose the new kindle paperwite? The answer is a simple yes. It is currently the only kindle available in the Indian market (of course, if you do not consider the refurbished on amazon.in) and the best one yet yet.

It has fantastic ergonomics, which offers a hand reading comfort. The 7 -inch display is an excellent upgrade on older models and provides crisp text. All-New Kindle Paperwite is thin, portable and travel-taiyar. Focusable upgradable upgrade such as sharp page turn and snapier response is a major reason why it becomes an easy recommendation. Battery life is decent, and fond Chawla readers can enjoy reading on the device for days without the need for charging. You also get adjustment options for screen glow and heat. However, the automatic brightness must have been a great addition. Similarly, wireless charging support would have been appreciated. Nevertheless, the kindle packs in upgradation of paperwite tones which makes it ideal for reading uninterrupted.
