- Is the 2024 Paperwhite worth it over the previous model?
- Yes, if you want a larger 7-inch screen, faster page turns and a warmer front light. The previous Paperwhite is still fine for basic reading and often costs less.
- How long does the battery really last?
- Amazon rates it at up to 12 weeks based on 30 minutes of reading a day with wireless off and light at a moderate level. Heavy use with Wi-Fi on and bright light will drain it faster.
- Can I read in the bath or by the pool?
- Yes. It is waterproof, so splashes and brief immersion are fine. Avoid salt water and charging while wet.
- Does it support audiobooks?
- Yes, it plays Audible audiobooks over Bluetooth headphones or speakers. There is no built-in speaker or headphone jack.
