Awesome for reading! So convenient!
I can't believe I didn't for this sooner. It's just amazing for reading. The storage is small, but since it's only books, it's basically limitless in practicality. You can adjust the brightness according to the room ambiance. It's easy to hold with any cover that has a strap, and the battery performance is outstanding. Amazing and I'm so happy to get back into the reading habit with the kindle!

Este es el que tienen que comprar para no tener anuncios desde LATAM, es espectacular, recuerden siempre pedir un buen forro que lo proteja bien sea en esta app o en otra. Y recuerden siempre libros originales para apoyar a los autores

KINDLE IS TOP-NOTCH.
I’ve been using it for over 15 years. My previous one was version 11, and now I’ve switched to 12. As always, everything is excellent. There are almost no differences compared to version 11. However, right from the very first power-on there was a burnt (dead) pixel. It’s a small thing, but still disappointing.

kindle(非防水モデル)を愛用しておりましたが、 暖色系のバックライトでベッドサイドでの読書を充実させたく購入しました。 実際に比較してみると、重量感は通常のkindleよりも手応えがあります。 ただ、iPadなどと比べても軽く片手で読書できるのは嬉しいですね! 私は背面にMagSafeリング台座を装着して、スマホ用のリングを装着して愛用。 驚くほど読書の質が上がります。 また、毎日1時間 2週間程度読書をしてもバッテリーの充電する必要がないのは驚きます。 鮮やかで美しい液晶も魅力的ではありますが、読書に没頭できるのはやっぱりkindle。 防水とバックライトの色調変更をしたいのであればkindle paper White、 軽さでポケットに入るサイズ感なら通常のKindleが扱いやすいと感じました。 両方愛用しておりますので、シーンによって使い分けていこうと思います。

Fue un regalo de navidad y es el mejor regalo que cualquier persona lectora podria recibir. Funciona perfectamente, la personalizacion esta bien, poder cambiar las fuentes y el tamaño para mayor comodidad, yo prefiero que sea lo mas parecido a un libro fisico. Solia leer en mi teléfono y el cambio es mucho, me es mas comodo a la vista y no me cansa a comparación con la pantalla del teléfono, la luz calida y el modo oscuro de verdad te ayuda en la noche. Si la recomiendo mucho, es mejor que estar gastando mucho dinero en libros que al final ni puedes leer en otros lugares que no sean en casa, este es mas ligero y fácil de llevar a todos lados 🫶🏼

I upgraded from the 2018 model (shows how indestructible these things are) and this newer model is essentially the same but crucially faster. I immediately notice the page swipe is quicker and there's no lag when shopping. If you're upgrading, you'll notice the size difference. I have small hands and I think I'll need a strap for this model. I was worried about the weight increase as I read my kindle a lotttt but it's barely noticeable. If you're new to paper white, I'd say it's the best model of the kindle range. No glare, no unnecessary colours, doesn't keep you awake like other screens and the brightness and text size adjustments are ideal - lots of range to find what's right for you.And as mentioned, they're indestructible. I've never used a case and my previous model has been around the world for 8 years. Comparison photos of paper white 10th gen / 2018 and the new model. Brightness set to 6/24 and font size 3/14 (personal preference)
