## Description

Kindle Paperwhite | Waterproof, 6" High-Resolution Display, 32 GB—with Ads—Black (Previous generation) : desertcart.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Review: Love everything about it. - I’ve always loved physical books (still do) so for a long time kindles and other devices like it held no interest for me and then I fell into the world of FanFiction the majority of which isn’t available in book form so you have to read it online, I was reading on my phone which was both too small for my liking and drained my battery when I discovered that I could download fanfics as ebooks and read them on a kindle I snapped up a bundle deal with the case and plug and I absolutely would not be without it now, I currently have over 700 fanfic books on mine, - the battery life is fantastic, - It’s easy to use, - the desertcart plug is well worth purchasing, - it’s so easy to put books on just save the book to your laptop, plug it in open the relevant file and copy and paste or drag them over. - the background light is well worth having - paying the extra £10 to have it ad free is also well worth it in my opinion. -once a book is downloaded onto the device you can read it anywhere no need to be online. -the storage is immense, I have over 700 books of varying lengths on mine and have barley used a gb. -it’s the perfect size and nice and light. -it saves your page so you just open it and go. If you’re a book lover like me it probably won’t ever be able to completely replace books but it’s a brilliant little device to be able to carry about with hundreds (or even thousands) of books at your fingertips, it’s perfect for my needs and I wouldn’t be without one now and highly recommended them.
Review: A fine method of preservation and enjoyment of millions of literary classics! Highly recommend. - ~Pros~ - A backlight! Yes, we all wished that our 7th gen kindles had some form of glow to them for bedtime reads (or maybe if you were reading in a cave) and now we have it! The ability to set it specifically to your needs is also a nice bonus. - The E-reader, whilst being lightweight and compact enough to comfortably fit in a large jacket pocket, is also suprisingly robust. I have dropped mine a few times and it is still working fine; that being said though, it would be wise to invest in a case for reasons I will mention in a moment! - It has a lovely 300 ppi touchscreen that makes reading your library of books a joy. - The kindle store actually has many free books that you can download on this device, so no further investment is necessary granted you want to read classics like treasure island or les miserables. However, most books do require payment, which brings me to... - ...The kindle discount on books! Indeed, often you will find that novels on the kindle will cost less in general than their physical counterparts! Excellent for bargain hunters and bookworms alike who do not mind using a screen to view their beloved books! -Cons- ~ As mentioned prior, you will want to get a case. This is for three main reasons; A: The kindle is a fingerprint magnet, which is generally a consequence of using the material that desertcart uses in order to mass produce the plastic shell for the unit. If you like your electronics pristine, be sure to cover the back at the very least! B: The kindle screen, whilst being lovely to look at, is not very tough and thus prone to scratches. Given enough scratches, your unit may lose functionality in terms of the touchscreen, so (I hate to sound like a parent here but) take good care of it! C: Most importantly to me, the sleep button is located on the bottom of the unit. This may not seem like much of a complaint until you factor in the fact that most people will likely hold the unit by the bottom, where they will inevitably accidentally press the sleep button and interrupt their reading! Very frustrating, and for this very reason a case is quite necessary for your device. ~ The kindle itself will take up a lot of computing power to index your kindle book library upon registering the unit, which can drain battery quite significantly for the first day of owning the device. However, this problem will not likely persist beyond a few hours to a day or two granted your library of books isn't in the thousands! ~ The kindle in general does run quite slowly at times; due to it using an E-ink display, the display will not be as fluid as a regular LED display as the display physically functions differently to make itself look like paper! Try not to be impatient, just think of it like you are turning a page quite quickly! Another brief complaint is that sometimes the screen does not refresh itself and words from a previous page may linger on the screen- in this case you may want to select the "refresh screen every page" setting in the kindle settings. All in all, I love my kindle! I think its a fantastic bit of kit for the train, for the plane (granted your airline allows it) and perhaps even for a trip on the Seine! If you want a compact, backlit and overall high quality E-reader, the kindle paperwhite is for you! If you do not fancy spending the money, do not worry! Your phone is also capable of reading kindle e-books; simply download the kindle app! Happy shopping all!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An almost perfect eReader and a great upgrade to the Basic model.
*by P***E on 6 March 2020*

This is an almost perfect eReader only let down by a couple of minor things which can be overlooked for the price. First off I bought this as an update to my 2016 Basic Kindle which was my first eReader and I couldn't be happier with the upgrade really. It comes in a minimalist packaging with just a basic manual and a charging cable, there is no charging plug supplied and for me that is very good as I already have plenty of them from previous devices and another would just be overkill and sit in the packaging unused but if for any reason you don't have one already lying around this could be an issue but really, who doesn't already have several from other devices! It's thinner than the basic but slightly taller but very light and comfortable to hold, much more so than most physical books. The higher resolution 300dpi screen is nicer to read from over the 167dpi Basic model and the additional fine tuning with the font boldness control over the Basic is nice, if you use larger size fonts it will also look smoother to the eye.. You can add custom fonts which my Basic model could not do which is nice but not necessarily a must have for some but good to have the ability to add them if you do want to. The screen is slightly more reflective than my Basic was but still easily readable in most conditions and in full sunlight. The new flush screen is very nice and wont get fluff and lint trapped in it as my previous Basic model did and won't require cleaning so often and with this iteration it brings 2 major things that my Basic didn't have. First up is that it is lit (which the latest Basics do actually have now but didn't then) which now means I can read in bed with no additional lighting or when waiting for a train without having to stand directly under a platform light and he light works very well for me, it seems to light the screen evenly and being front-lit it doesn't tire or strain my eyes when reading in a dark environment as a back lit scren does, unfortunately there is no way to make the light warmer in tone though. Secondly it has an IPX rating for being waterproof which with the inclement UK weather means I can read waiting for trains and buses without trying to shield it from the elements and I can relax in a bath reading without worrying if dropped that my Kindle will die on me. The battery life is good too, with my commute on trains and a bit of reading in bed I read for 2-3 hours a day with the wifi off mostly and the light off during the day but on after dark at a brightness of 10 (out of 24), it will last me around 2-3 weeks before it requires a charge, it seems to be longer without the special offers than it was before I had them removed so if your battery is not lasting as long it may be those that are affecting it. I got the 8GB model (6GB is actually usable storage space, the rest is taken up by the operating system) which is 4GB more than the Basic which was starting to get full but to be honest with about the 400 mixed books and comics I have on it I still have 4.5GB free space, so there is plenty available space for maybe another 800 books and more than enough on it already to keep me reading for at least a year anyway even if I didn't acquire any more content. As for the kindle book store, there's quite a wide selection of books to buy (the biggest eBook store) and there are plenty of old (public domain) classics that are free and a lot of indie writers often put a few of their books up for free too (to get you hooked on a series and purchase further volumes) and if you have the a standard Prime account there is a selection of about 1000 books (that change on a monthly basis) that you can borrow up to 10 at a time to read for free too! I don't listen to audio books so I can't comment on that functionality. The only things that let it down are that there is no colour control on the light so although it is only slightly blue in hue you can't change it to a slightly warmer light to make it a little more comfortable at night. Also I don't really like the rubberised finish on the back as it is a fingerprint/grease magnet although if kept in a case that won't be so much of an issue. And the only major complaint I have with it really is that, like my previous Basic model the power button is on the bottom of the device, this is not so much of an issue when it is kept in most cases but if you use it without one it does occasionally get activated and switches the screen off which can be annoying. If a button is really required to be on the bottom of the why can't it be one of the type that is flush with the frame and needs to be pushed in a little to activate! So with the little niggles I have with it why am I still giving it 5-stars you may ask, well it's a fantastic device and I bought it on Prime day so for what I paid for it, it really is a good value reading device (if I had paid full price I might only rate it 4-stars).
