Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) review: slightly larger, slightly faster, slightly better

Small updates help keep the Kindle Paperwhite a great e-reader.

The screen and internals are the same, but the Signature Edition includes an ambient light sensor for automatic brightness adjustments, 32GB of storage rather than 16GB, no lockscreen ads, wireless charging, and a metallic finish on the back. The new screen occasionally made some of the fine text in Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s Ultimate Spider-Man: Married with Children appear bolder and easier to read without zooming in. Text customization is also limited in the Kindle OS compared to Kobo devices, which offer finer adjustments for font size, line spacing, and margins.
