Kindle Paperwhite (2021) : Luxurious Updates Raise the Bar— and the Price

The last time Amazon updated the Kindle Paperwhite, the changes were dramatic. Our review of the fourth-generation model (fave.co/3fQn29M) called them a “raft of innovations,” with waterproofing and twice the amount of storage among the more standout upgrades.

The enhancements in the new fifth-generation Kindle Paperwhite are less revolutionary. Outside of the larger 6.8-inch screen, they’re refinements—ones that make the digital reading experience more comfortable…and expensive.
