"We are excited to launch the all-new Kindle Paperwhite, which has always been a favorite among readers," said Dilip R.S., Director and Country Manager, Amazon Devices India. "This Kindle comes with upgraded features, including faster performance, a larger display, and a more lightweight design, all designed to enhance the reading experience."
Speed and Performance Like Never Before
The standout feature of the new Kindle Paperwhite is its 25% faster page turns, made possible by a powerful dual-core processor. This upgrade ensures that readers can move through pages with ease, without any delay—perfect for those long reading sessions. Additionally, the Kindle Paperwhite comes with improved touch response, making it easier for users to navigate their libraries and browse through titles.
And, of course, one of the most impressive upgrades is the battery life. Thanks to the device's efficient design and USB-C charging, users can enjoy up to 12 weeks of reading on a single charge—no more worrying about frequent recharges in the middle of a good book.
The Largest Paperwhite Display Yet
For those who love reading on a larger screen, the new Kindle Paperwhite features a 7-inch display—the biggest ever for a Paperwhite model. This increased screen size comes with narrower borders, offering a larger screen-to-body ratio that enhances the reading experience. The new display uses an advanced oxide thin-film transistor, which improves text sharpness and image clarity, making every page look vibrant and easy to read.
Thanks to its glare-free 300 ppi display, reading on the Kindle Paperwhite feels just like reading on paper—even in bright sunlight. Additionally, with adjustable warm light and dark mode, readers can customize the display to their preference, whether they’re outdoors in direct sunlight or reading in a dimly lit room.
