The 11th-gen Paperwhite update, released in late 2021 for $140, was a big quality-of-life upgrade, with a bigger 6.8-inch screen, adjustable color temperature, USB-C, more frontlight LEDs, and (in the more-expensive Signature Edition) an auto-brightness sensor and wireless charging.

The 2024 Paperwhite is faster than previous generations. Amazon doesn’t specify what processor and memory make this possible but claims the ereader has 20% faster page turns than the 2021 model. Navigating the Paperwhite's user interface has never been easier, especially when it comes to typing on the on-screen keyboard.

No, you probably don't need another device. But you might need a Kindle. There are a decent number of e-readers on the market, but having tried many of them, Kindles are the best. But which Kindle is the best? Well, that's the Kindle Paperwhite, especially after this year's update.

The new Paperwhite features a slightly larger screen, improved performance and slightly better contrast. Should you ditch your old Kindle for it?
