The best part of having an e-reader is being able to carry dozens, if not hundreds, of books with you when you travel for work, errands, family gatherings, or vacations. Ayman de @aymansbooks On TikTok, she is one of the most successful BookTok accounts, with more than 900,000 followers. She creates content and memes about novels and recommends the books she reads on the platform.
Ayman told ZDNET that the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is her Kindle of choice. Whether she’s at the DMV, sitting in a cafe, or waiting in line, she always has her Paperwhite Signature Edition with her and pulls it out whenever she has a free second to read. “I love being able to easily highlight and annotate while reading – it feels like I’m reading a physical book,” Ayman said.
Review: Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is designed for travel. It supports USB-C and Qi wireless charging, so you don’t need to have a special charging cable for each device. The internal battery can also last up to 10 weeks on a full charge, allowing you to enjoy reading on the beach even if you forget your charging cable.
The display features an anti-glare coating for better visibility in direct lamp or sunlight and a backlight that automatically adjusts to suit dimly lit rooms. With 32GB of internal storage, you can store tens of thousands of titles on the tablet. However, some owners on Reddit say the extra storage is unnecessary, given how many books the Kindle Paperwhite already holds. The waterproof tablet is great for reading by the pool, at the beach, or anywhere accidental spills can happen. Plus, it has a screen reader feature for blind or visually impaired users and supports Bluetooth headsets for audiobooks.
When former ZDNET contributor Jason Cipriani reviewed the Signature Edition, he said, “If you opt to spend a little more on the Signature Edition, you’ll get some notable features in wireless charging and a light sensor, further improving an already reliable experience.”
