Part 3/9:
Next in line is the updated Kindle Paperwhite, priced at $160. Also seeing a $10 price increase, this model delivers a step up in both performance and aesthetic. The bezel has been reduced, resulting in a 7-inch screen that fits within a similar chassis size. Claiming to be the fastest Kindle yet, Amazon reported 25% faster page turns thanks to the new oxide thin film transistor that allows for the highest contrast ratio across all Kindle devices.
Battery life is impressive at three months, and it's waterproof—features not present in the entry-level model. An upgrade option, the Signature Edition, priced at $200, comes with 30 GB of storage, wireless charging, and an auto-adjusting front light, in addition to new color variants: metallic raspberry, metallic jade, and metallic black.
