Slow and mostly steadyĪmazon doesn't set out to make iPad-level powerhouse tablets with the Kindle Paperwhite line. Unfortunately, getting to that point can be somewhat troublesome. This is an ideal e-reader for me once you actually have a book ready to go on the screen. It should go without saying at this point that I loved everything about the new Kindle Paperwhite's physical design. It sits on the bottom of the device next to the power button, which is the only button you'll find here. As we move further and further into a USB-C world, this is a godsend and was probably overdue, seeing as the how 2018 model didn't have it. I'd be remiss not to mention the small but important addition of a USB-C charging port. You can truly take the new Paperwhite with you anywhere and have a good time reading it. Even at high brightness, the screen didn't hurt my eyes, either. In both scenarios, it was as comfortable as reading off an actual page with a light shining on it. I've read Frank Herbert's meandering epic Dune (what can I say, I've got sandworm fever) on the new Paperwhite both outdoors in the shining sun and indoors at night with the lights turned off. The glare-free screen is immensely legible and pleasing to the eye in all kinds of lighting. Text is sharp even when holding the device right up to your face. All of those nifty features are secondary to reading books, however, and the excellent Paperwhite display makes that a delight. Highlighting passages, looking up the definitions of words, and bookmarking pages are all here, too. You can adjust screen warmth to make it more comfortable to look at in different settings.
