  • Our take on the Amazon Kindle PaperWhite 16GB 12th Gen

    The 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite has a 7-inch display with higher contrast and faster page turns, plus an adjustable warm light for comfortable reading day or night. It offers weeks of battery life and 16GB of storage, enough for thousands of books. It suits avid readers who want a dedicated e-reader with a sharp, glare-free screen. Compared with its predecessor, the screen is larger and crisper, and performance is snappier, but it lacks physical page-turn buttons found on some rivals.
