More significant is the larger screen size. Amazon kept the same pixel-per-inch density here, so the display looks as nice as ever. Between the extra screen space and some changes to the interface, using the device is much more comfortable than it used to be.
It is worth knowing that the new Paperwhite is ever so slightly wider and taller — so if you have small hands or already found the Kindle to be a little too large, this might be an issue. The screen bezels are also significantly smaller as well.
The bottom bezel is on the large side, presumably so you can rest your thumb on it while reading, but the ones on the top, left and right are all very thin.
The smaller bezels, larger display and lack of a recessed screen all combine to make this hardware feel more premium than previous Kindle Paperwhite models.
A less impactful change is the new LED front lighting system. There are 17 individual LEDs that give the Paperwhite its gentle glow that lets you read in poor light, up from five that were in the previous model.
The Old Paperwhite already had a very smooth front lighting system, and it looks great on the new model, too, just not dramatically better. As with other devices, you can set two different color temperatures, one for during the day and a warmer setting for after the sun has gone down.
It took me a bit to realize that one slider covered the warmth outside of the scheduled time and another was only in effect during the schedule. I eventually I got everything sorted out, though. Smartphones have had this feature for years, and the more expensive Kindle Oasis has had it for a while, too. Here, it works pretty quickly and reliably. I first manually set the brightness to a comfortable level for the room I was reading in, and then put my trust in the auto brightness feature.
I could definitely notice it kicking on in brighter rooms and turning things down in my dimly lit bedroom when I was getting ready to crash for the night.
The SE also has wireless charging, which works quite well — I dropped the Paperwhite on a few Anker chargers I have around the house, and it charged up quickly and reliably. The SE also has an ad-free lock screen. While 6. I measured the actual screen sizes -- not the devices themselves -- and recorded that the previous Paperwhite's display is about 4. Using an average font size, you get three or four more lines of text per page and a few more words per line. While the display is larger, the new Paperwhite is only a little bigger and weighs just 23 grams more than the previous Paperwhite g vs.
The model also has a smaller It'd be nice if it was slightly slimmer and had almost no bezel, but it does feel like it's edging closer to being the perfect size. It remains small and light enough to fit in a jacket pocket with a more spacious screen.

Like the Oasis and the previous Paperwhite, this version has a ppi display, so text and images appear with the same degree of sharpness Amazon calls it "laser-quality" text.
With the Signature Edition, you're getting a Kindle with comparable features to the Oasis such as the auto-adjusting light sensor, but you're also getting USB-C and wireless charging, features we assume will come to the next Oasis. Unlike the Oasis, however, the new Paperwhite doesn't include physical buttons for turning pages -- you'll still need to tap the screen for that. You can see the difference in brightness, but it's quite subtle. The real lighting upgrade is the ability to adjust the light's color warmth from a sort of bluish-white to sepia tone, depending on your preference -- I usually go with a middle setting.
This is another feature that's trickled down from the Oasis. The Signature Edition just adds the auto-adjusting component. The Kindle Paperwhite line of e-readers are normally updated every every two or three years.
The original Paperwhite came out in and the Paperwhite 2 came out in The Kindle Paperwhite 3 was released in and the Kindle Paperwhite 4 came out in All of the different color variants, such as black, plum, sage and blue color models are also not available.
