Our take on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 32GB Waterproof 2017

The 2017 Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon's mid-range e-reader with a 6-inch, 300 ppi E Ink screen, an adjustable front light and an IPX8 waterproof body. This 32GB version holds far more than the standard 8GB model, which matters for comics, manga and Audible audiobooks. It lacks the larger 7-inch screen, warm light and physical page buttons of the newer Paperwhite and Oasis models. Owners praise the even lighting and weeks-long battery life; some find the flush-glass-free design and slower page turns dated next to newer Kindles.

Questions and answers

Is the 2017 Paperwhite still worth buying?
It is a solid reader if you want waterproofing, a sharp screen and lots of storage at a lower cost than newer Kindles. It lacks warm light, a larger screen and USB-C, so check whether those matter to you.
How is it different from the newer Paperwhite?
The newer Paperwhite has a 7-inch screen, warm adjustable light, USB-C and faster performance. This model has a 6-inch screen, cool-only light and micro-USB.
Can I listen to audiobooks on it?
Yes. It supports Audible over Bluetooth headphones or speakers. The 32GB storage leaves plenty of room for audiobooks and comics.
Is it really waterproof?
It carries an IPX8 rating, so it can be submerged in fresh water for a limited time. It is not designed for salt water or soapy water, and the port cover must be closed.
Do I need a case?
The screen is recessed and the body is plastic, so a case protects against scratches and drops. Waterproofing works without one.
What comes in the box?
The Kindle, a micro-USB charging cable and a quick-start guide. A power adapter is not included.
