Amazon have announced the next generation Kindle Paperwhite - the screen size increases from 6 inches to 6 by 8, which brings it close to the Oasis with its 7 inch screen. The bezels on the new paperwhite are also flush, again like the Oasis and at last the Kindle's gone to USB-C charging - something, most thought Amazon would have done a lone time ago since USB-C seems to fast becoming an industry standard.
The new Paperwhite has a larger screen, 6.8 square inches compared to 6 square inches for the previous version, a dark mode and adjustable warm light, IPX8 water resistance and, according to Amazon, 20 percent faster page turns and 10 percent more brightness at the highest setting. Amazon says that this e-reader has a battery life of up to 10 weeks, compared to up to 6 weeks in the last version, and the new version takes 2.5 hours to charge fully with USB-C charging (with a 9W adapter or larger). The new version still has the 300 ppi display and 8 GB of storage that the previous version had, and access to Amazon’s collection of e-books.
