Of course, Amazon uses a proprietary format for the majority of its e-books, this format is called KFX (AZW being another proprietary format), and it is what affords Amazon the best formatting options available on any e-reading platform, solely because the company fully controls this format.
#Kindle paperwhite 2021 series
If you jump to the Advanced Options, that’s where you’ll find the new setting that lets you group books by series in your library, which is definitely handy. Since the Paperwhite 2021 offers warm lighting, there’s a scheduler in the Display Settings, which is robust enough so that you can choose the exact times and intervals your screen warms. Just tap on the Device Options section so that you can toggle Display Cover to the On position. This is where you can turn on the popular cover display feature. The Android-like drop-down menu allows you to dip into the device’s settings. The Signature Edition also comes with 32GB of storage instead of the standard 8GB. Warm lighting is also available, helping with eye strain at night. Wireless charging is the big one, but auto-adjustment for the 17 front-lit LEDs can be a real lifesaver when moving from room to room in an office or home. The Signature Edition I’m reviewing today comes packed with extra hardware over the $139 Paperwhite 2021. While it’s difficult to nail down this performance increase, I can confirm that navigation and reading feel much snappier over the 2018 Paperwhite. Thanks to the switch to the MTK 8113, the processor has seen a 20% bump in performance, 20% according to Amazon. More or less, this black slab looks like any other Paperwhite, and only a trained eye will immediately see the difference. The most significant difference between the 2018 Paperwhite and the 2021 model is the switch to a USB-C port, a long-overdue convenience.
The bezels have shrunk with the change in screen size (hooray!), and the back of the device is slightly more rounded with a soft-touch coating. The flush screen is still plastic, and it’s a fingerprint magnet even though it’s etched to minimize reflections.
#Kindle paperwhite 2021 upgrade
This is an upgrade over the E INK Carta HD screen used in the 2018 Paperwhite, and the added screen real estate is much appreciated.
The brand-new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition may look similar to the 2018 Paperwhite, but the screen has been upgraded from 6-inches to a 6.8-inch 1236 x 1648 E Ink Carta 1200 EPD (same as in the Kobo Libra 2 and Kobo Sage) with a 300ppi.
