If you listen to audiobooks or podcasts from Audible, you'll want more space, and the Paperwhite Signature Edition isn't a terrible deal for the upgrade it offers. That means audio, not books, because you'll be able to fit thousands of books on a standard Kindle Paperwhite.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature addition was harder to recommend before the base model Kindle got a huge storage upgrade. Read the full Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review For avid readers on the go, the Kindle Paperwhite is the easy top pick.

It lasts weeks and weeks on a single charge, more than enough to leave the USB-C cord at home while on vacation. The screen is bright and crisp, and it can shift to warm mode at night for sleepy eyes. That's plenty for books, but we have a huge Audible library to tote as well, and a subscription that adds titles monthly.įor reading, though, the Paperwhite can't be beat. The upgraded Kindle 2022 got a storage bump that endowed it with twice the storage of the Paperwhite, and it's silly that the more expensive Kindle is saddled with only 8GB of space. That makes it worth the price premium, though we still wish we were getting more.

If you're going to get wet, the Kindle Paperwhite is water resistant and can even handle a little salt water. We read in the bathtub, by the pool, and at the beach, among other spots. Because of the way we read, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the Kindle we need.
