Admittedly, if Amazon fixed those things there would be no reason to get the Paperwhite, so while we're disappointed we aren't shocked. Also, our reviewer missed having the option adjust the warmth of the display light, another minor but meaningful Paperwhite feature - though if you’re fine with using dark mode it’s easy to move past that shortcoming.
The fact that the Kindle 2022 isn’t waterproof is probably the biggest differentiator between it and the more expensive Paperwhite. That’s not to say there aren’t improvements that could be made. Being locked into Amazon’s ecosystem is a drag, but you can’t really knock the Kindle for that. The Amazon Kindle (2022) is nearly a perfect device for what it is, and some of its flaws are more down to Amazon than the device itself.

Read our full Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review. It worked just as well as it did before when we took it out. Our testing of the Paperwhite 2021's waterproofing included a 20 minute bath in our sink. That said, it's gained one of the Oasis' once unique features: display warmth. The Paperwhite costs slightly more than half as much as the $250 Kindle Oasis, coming in at $139 ($10 more than in previous years). Faster charging doesn't appear to be on the table, but the microUSB port has been around for way too long, and is often fragile, so we're happy to see it go. It's a welcome change if only for the reversible port. And it's still got a great waterproofing (IPX8-rated) protection.Īfter the larger display, the big change this year is the move from microUSB charging to USB-C. While it's still a super-sharp 300-ppi display, it's now supported by an array of 17 LED backlights, for incredibly even lighting. The bezels are also smaller, so the device didn't have to grow too much to accommodate the growth from a 6-inch panel. It's got the same basic look as previous Kindles and Kindle Paperwhite models, a matte black shell and an e-ink screen, but this time it's larger, with a 6.8-inch panel. Small changes lead to great products staying great, and such is the case with the new Kindle Paperwhite (2021).
