That’s the price for an 8GB model, which should be enough storage for hundreds of ebooks and some audiobooks too. This standard Paperwhite version is available directly from Amazon and a variety of other retailers.

It was unveiled alongside two new editions: the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and the Kindle Paperwhite for Kids. If someone has a Qi charging pad or stand in their house, they can place the Signature Edition on top of it and charge its battery without plugging in any cables.This edition of the Kindle Paperwhite was launched in September 2021, and it went on sale soon after. And, last but not least, only the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition pairs its USB-C port with Qi wireless charging. Where users of the normal Paperwhite have to make these changes manually, the Signature Edition has an ambient light sensor that does this automatically based on the room it's in. Both models have 17 LEDs to change the brightness and temperature of the screen's light. However, if you want to download multiple audiobooks at a time, the extra storage is probably reason enough to get the Signature Edition.Īnother perk of the Paperwhite Signature Edition is its automatic light adjustment.

The 8GB in the normal Kindle Paperwhite is enough space for folks exclusively reading e-books.

The regular Kindle Paperwhite is equipped with 8GB of storage, whereas the Signature Edition has 32GB. For starters, it has more room for your virtual library. So what makes the Signature Edition worth the extra $50? It all comes down to a few small hardware improvements.
