Kindle Paperwhite is the fastest Kindle ever, meant for bibliophiles who love speed

The all new and improved, Kindle Paperwhite is now in India! Priced at Rs 16,999 and available in Black , this is easily the most powerful and feature-rich Paperwhite yet. Heavy on the pocket? Yes. But, with a larger display to lightning-fast performance and marathon battery life, this Kindle is made for readers who want to ditch distractions and dive deep into the written word, who will definitely be able to justify the upfront cost of getting hands on this new device.

What makes the new Kindle Paperwhite special?

First off, it’s fast. The makers of the device claim it gets you 25 per cent quicker page turns, thanks to a zippier dual-core processor under the hood. For the average reader, that translates into smoother swipes, snappier touch response, and zero lag when flipping through pages or browsing your library. And yes, the keyword touch-response feels much more intuitive this time around.

But speed isn’t everything. The new Kindle Paperwhite also features a 7-inch glare-free display, making it the biggest on a Paperwhite yet, wrapped in a thinner, lighter body. That means more words per page, less scrolling, and more comfort, whether you’re curled up in bed or commuting on the go. Its 300 ppi resolution ensures every word and image pops with crisp clarity, even under direct sunlight. And for night owls, adjustable warm lighting and a built-in dark mode keep eye strain in check.

Battery life? A whopping 12 weeks on a single USB-C charge. That’s not a typo. Twelve whole weeks is what you can get as per the claims by the brand. Add in 16GB of storage, and you’re set for months of reading without needing to plug in or clear space.

The new Paperwhite is still very much a Kindle at heart that is purpose-built for reading, free from pings, pop-ups, and social scrolls. You’ll find all your favourite Kindle features intact, like X-Ray for character backstories, Word Wise for language learners, and a built-in dictionary and translator. And setup is smoother too. The Kindle app for Android and iOS helps you get started in fewer steps after its latest update. If you like dressing up your Kindle, covers are available in Black, Marine Green, and Tulip Pink at Rs 1,999.

So, whether you’re a voracious reader or someone trying to rediscover the joy of books, the new Kindle Paperwhite is easily one of the most thoughtful upgrades that has launched in a while. Thinner, faster, longer-lasting, and built with one job in mind, which is making you fall in love with reading all over again. Although, this time, it’s faster.
