All-new Kindle Paperwhite

The answer is our all-new Kindle Paperwhite.

There is so much great content for you to enjoy that we’ve doubled the Kindle Paperwhite’s storage, and it still has the features customers love, like a glare-free display and a battery life measured in weeks.

The all-new Kindle Paperwhite features a sleek, flush-front design and a back made of soft, grippable material, so it rests easily in your hand. It is the thinnest and lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet, measuring 8.18mm thick and weighing 182g—less than half the weight of many paperback books—so extended reading sessions are even more comfortable.

The six-inch, high resolution 300 ppi display features crisp, laser-quality text that reads like real paper. It also includes five LEDs and an adjustable front light for a uniform, glare-free display in any setting—even direct sunlight.

The most popular Kindle is now waterproof (IPX8), so you can read in even more places. It is designed to withstand accidental drops in the bath, spa, pool, and ocean, with protection against immersion in up to two metres of fresh water for up to one hour.

The all-new Kindle Paperwhite comes with twice the storage, so you can keep more content on your device. Available in 8 GB, which is twice the storage of the previous generation and can hold thousands of titles, and 32 GB for storing even more content with large file sizes.

Kindle includes a variety of ways to tailor your experience, so you can read your book your way. We’ve also added even more personalisation features, including:

The new home experience makes it easier to find your next read based on your reading history.

Now save multiple reading settings, selecting the font, boldness level, and orientation settings you prefer all from the main menu and quickly switch between those settings.

By design, Kindle devices are purpose built for reading so you can lose yourself in a book. Unlike tablets and phones, a Kindle has no glare, even in bright sunlight, and won’t distract you with social media, emails, text messages, or notifications. The all-new Kindle Paperwhite includes features that have made the Kindle family the best devices for reading, enhancing the experience beyond a print book:
