Our take on the Kindle Paperwhite (11th Generation)

The 11th-generation Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon's mid-range e-reader with a 7-inch E Ink screen, adjustable warm light and 16 GB of storage. It is waterproof (IPX8) and rated for up to 12 weeks of reading on a charge, which puts it ahead of the base Kindle on screen size, lighting and water resistance. It suits people who read a lot and want a dedicated, distraction-free device rather than a tablet. Against the Paperwhite Signature Edition it gives up wireless charging, auto-adjusting light and 32 GB, but it covers the essentials for most readers.

Questions and answers

Is the Paperwhite 11th gen worth it over the base Kindle?
Yes for most readers. The Paperwhite adds a larger 7-inch screen, warm adjustable light, waterproofing and more storage, which the base Kindle lacks.
Should I get the Paperwhite or the Signature Edition?
Choose the Signature Edition only if you want wireless charging, auto-adjusting brightness and 32 GB. The standard Paperwhite has the same screen and waterproofing.
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 set to a moderate level. Heavy use with Wi-Fi on shortens that considerably.
Can I read in the bath or pool?
Yes. It is rated IPX8, so it survives accidental immersion in fresh water. Avoid salt water and soap, and dry the port before charging.
Does it support EPUB and library books?
Yes. It reads EPUB, PDF, TXT and DOC files, and supports OverDrive library lending through Amazon's send-to-Kindle service.
What comes in the box?
The Kindle Paperwhite, a USB-C charging cable and a quick-start guide. A power adapter is not included.
