The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is a good ereader, but the few premium perks, like wireless charging and an auto-adjusting display, don’t quite justify the price leap from the standard Kindle Paperwhite. Still, upgrades to USB-C and a wider screen with thinner bezels are a good refresh for an ereader that hasn’t been updated since 2018.
Bigger screen area than predecessor; Longer battery life; USB-C is convenient;
Wireless charging is finicky; High price; Slow page turn speed

More expensive than previous models; Lacks wireless charging; Limited to Amazon’s store

Barnes & Noble's Nook models also still exist, although the future of that lineup seems uncertain. Amazon has four E Ink Kindles in 2021, including the $89.99 Kindle, the $139.99 Paperwhite, the $189.99 Paperwhite Signatu...
Amazon's 2021 edition of the Kindle Paperwhite is similar to the excellent 2018 version, but adds a roomier screen that makes for an even better reading experience.

No Immersion Reading mode

Larger display with colour warmth; Longer battery life; USB-C; Shows Audible and Comixology content;
Content management still cumbersome;
Far superior to the kindle 7 I previously had. This is easier to read and has more words on a page so less page turning.
