Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (newest model) – 20% faster

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (newest model) – 20% faster, with new 7" glare-free display and weeks of battery life – Black

The fastest Kindle Paperwhite ever, with a larger 7" glare-free screen built for travel.

  • Next-gen 7" display adds a higher contrast ratio and 25% faster page turns.
  • Ultra-thin design keeps pages sharp wherever you read.
  • No distractions here: no social media, notifications, or other apps.
  • Best for readers who want a balanced, bright e-reader with room to spare.

Editor's note

Tom's Guide named this the best e-reader for most people, citing the balanced, bright backlight and waterproofing, which lines up with how I think about it.

Why we picked it

Best for: Travelers and anyone who reads near water

The best all-rounder: a larger 7-inch screen, the fastest Paperwhite yet, and waterproofing for about $40 more.

What we like

  • + Larger 7-inch glare-free display
  • + Fastest Paperwhite yet with higher contrast
  • + Up to 12 weeks of battery via USB-C

Watch outs

  • - Heavier and pricier than the base Kindle
  • - Still black-and-white, with no stylus
