![]() ![]() There are dedicated options to do this automatically based on your time zone, but can also be done from a specific time duration. This can be done via the slider bars when you hit the menu. Alongside being able to toggle between a just a light and dark mode, you can also adjust the color temperature of the backlight for cooler hues during the day and a warmer look at night. When using the Kindle Paperwhite 5 for the first time. I am sure this has something to do with the company wanting to get carbon neutral. I can really see it getting damaged when delivery drivers just chuck in onto your porch. Amazon also seems to be using different retail packaging with this generation, it is flimsy recycled cardboard and there is no protection of the Kindle, it just has a static proof bag. There is no home button or manual page turn buttons, there also isn’t any expandable storage via an SD card. On the bottom of the unit is the USB-C port, power button and status indictor light. The back is jet black and has a piano black embossed logo for the Kindle. The Paperwhite 5 is very minimalist, compared to previous models. The dimensions are 124.6 x 174.2 x 8.1 mm and weighs 205g. The battery will last around ten weeks, which is very solid for an e-reader. It is rated IPX8 to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes, and up to 0.25 meters of seawater for up to 3 minutes. It has Bluetooth, which can be used to connect a pair of wireless headphones or an external speaker to listen to Audible audiobooks. It has WIFI only and there is no cellular option. You will be able to connect it up to your MAC or PC via USB-C. ![]() Underneath the hood is a NXP/Freescale 1GHZ processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. This is a mixed bag, since glass can reflect light, and if you are outdoors, you likely will experience screen glare. The screen is flush with the bezel, protected by a layer of glass. The Kindle Paperwhite 4, had an excellent lighting system, with 5 LED lights, but the Paperwhite 5 has 17 white and amber LED lights, giving users the ability to get a candlelight effect. The Paperwhite 5 features a 6.8 inch E INK Carta 1200touchscreen display with a resolution of 1236 x 1648 and 300 PPI. Amazon has also been able to use a new form of CARTA 1200, to increase the page turn speed. The major selling points are the enhanced lighting system, providing the best front-lit and color temperature system in the world. This is the first modern Kindle to go beyond the standard six inch display and it is close to seven inches in size. Still no good book reader exists IMO.Amazon has just released the Kindle Paperwhite 5 today and Good e-Reader would like to provide you with our first impressions and what this e-reader brings to the tablet. Kindle might sell pretty well but it's no iPod of books. A DVD sized e-book reader about say half the thickness or slightly thicker with great battery life, a headphone jack and a speaker without massive bezels, silly chin and with simple software is what's missing in the e-book reader world. A DVD case is 9" on the diagonal and is about the smallest an e-ink book reader should be. A tiny 6" screen for reading books is a joke, sorry. Would much prefer if they scrapped all of the models and just focused on making one awesome 9" model and tried to bring the prices down through economies of scale, selling just a single model in black and white and one storage size: we're talking books.įurther, another thing Kindle needs is a headphone jack and a built-in speaker like Kindle 3 had. What Kindles have going for them mostly is price, but that really in my mind only applies to the cheapest model. I'd also like to see a slightly thicker reader with longer battery life. If Apple made a 9" e-ink reader (kindles are too small) that looked like the page of a book "Apple Page" or "Apple Book" and had some innovative features such as page numbers (ffs) and the ability to squeeze either side of the page to turn the page I'd honestly buy one. I honestly would like if Apple made an e-ink reader because Amazon isn't great at hardware or software, at least when it comes to Kindle. I do wish Apple would add e-ink tech to iPads but that’s probably hard to engineer. ![]()
