When you find a book that interests you, by simply tapping the “Want to Read” button, you can add it to “Your Reading List,” which pops up on the right-hand side of the home interface. Tapping on a book allows you to see what others have said about it, its ratings, and similar books. Using this app, you can search under the same categories Amazon provides. The Goodreads app, located on the home interface’s top bar, also guides you to potential book choices. We took it to a number of local libraries, for example, and discovered that they don’t support this format, limiting options for acquiring books outside of the Kindle Store unless you use a program like Calibre to convert the format. Keep in mind that the MOBI book format that Kindle devices use limits your choices somewhat. If none of those books tickle your fancy, you can simply go into the Kindle Store button at the top of the home interface and you can find books by genre, title, author, and ISBN.

One section, called “Recommended For You,” started providing titles within these genres, including new releases and classics. When we tested it, we played around with a couple sci-fi and fantasy books. What’s really convenient about the Kindle is that Amazon groups the books into different options catered to your browsing history. In under two minutes, the book is downloaded to your Kindle and you can read. Simply press the Kindle Store button, search for a book you’d like to read, buy it. Once the Kindle is set up, it’s easy to get reading. Once we set these up, the Kindle gave us a very brief overview of the Kindle, comprised of six tutorial screens which demonstrated the various aspects of the homepage: the Kindle store, which includes various sections, like “Recommended For You” the Goodreads “Wish List” and your library.

After getting past this setup, the Paperwhite also took us through optional features, like connecting to Audible, Goodreads, Twitter, and Facebook. You’ll be required to create or log into your Amazon account, and connect to the Wi-Fi, as well. It flits through the general settings, such as language selection, and then boots up, providing an easy bar to show its progress. Setting the Paperwhite up was very easy and user-friendly. The setup depleted the power down to 50%, and we tested its charging power-it was completely charged in about an hour. When we booted up the Kindle, it was at 70% power. Amazon claims that the Kindle can charge in about four hours. A wall adapter does not come with it, but since it can be charged from a computer with its handy micro USB port, it’s not a big deal. The new Paperwhite comes with two components: the Kindle itself, and a micro USB charging cable. Lifewire / Rebecca Isaacs Setup Process: Quick and easy Adding a Kindle cover helps alleviate this while also protecting the touchscreen. Our only issue with the design is that the bezel was too thin, making it too easy to accidentally activate the touchscreen and flip a page. The 6-inch tall screen blends seamlessly into a soft-touch plastic exterior, allowing for easy gripping.

It’s also incredibly light, clocking in at 5.7 ounces, so our arms didn’t ache after extended use. Among the many models, the new Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation) stands out for offering all these features without breaking the bank.Īt 6.3 x 4.6 x 0.3 inches (HWD), the Kindle Paperwhite is thinner than a pencil, making it easy to tuck into a bag on your commute. A basic e-reader from Amazon or Kobo won’t cost you too much, but if you want features like waterproofing, audiobook support, and larger storage you’ll have to shell out a bit more.
