Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 5 Full Review - All New Paperwhite Gen. 5
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- The 11th Generation Kindle Paperwhite has a few major updates. It is the first Paperwhite to go beyond a 6 inch screen and now has a 6.8 inch. Page turn speed has been increased by 20% and overall performance by about 40%. This is some serious value for only $139.
In this review we look at the UI, although our review unit has the old UI. We also look at the Bookstore, Audiobook Store, Playing Audiobooks via Bluetooth, reading manga, and a PDF file.

I’ve just got mine and can confirm that the screen is crispier and the interface is snappier comparing to the previous model. I particularly noticed higher contrast in this new model. The weight difference is unnoticeable however the larger screen is a huge plus. Warm light is a good addition as well. Overall, very happy and I think it is definitely worth to upgrade.
crisper*
Could you please not spell check / grammar check people that are just trying to make a point? Thank you
Thanks! R
Why not? Mistake is a mistake
@@hb1949 we know, but we shouldnt be rude enough to just correct someone who is trying to make a pretty good point.
"if you tap something, you're pretty sure that it's gonna do it"
High praise 🤣
After being a dedicated kobo customer for 10 years, and having experienced screen issues with both the kobo Clara HD and libra h2o model, I purchased one of these the other day. I haven't been through all of the device yet, but I can say without a doubt that this thing is solid. The backlighting is even, no shadows or dark spots. The text is crisp and clear. Seems easy to navigate. Fast page turns. My first Kindle and I gotta say, A+ so far
I’m ton between the new paperwhite vs kobo Clara HD, which one do you recommend more?
Paperwhite for sure
read this comment in moment where i confused to choose between the new paperwhite and clara hd..
The warm light alone as well as the bigger screen on the Paperwhite 5 is worth the upgrade, imo.
For me USB-C is the big deal
for me too even more, since I use PW3
@@user-te4dm7gs9f ?Did you not know there are very cheap usb adapters
For me not. Unless you read pdf files :) I do not. Only books, text, on my pw3.
Worth upgrading from the Oasis?
The bigger screen, warm uniform backlight options, faster performance and USB C are well worth the upgrade. My 2018 model became especially sluggish after the recent OS changes. Picked up the new model with trade in bonus on Black Friday for $60 and I'm glad I did!
Mine is also sluggish, I can't wait for my new Kindle to arrive soon!
I ordered a signature edition on a whim to replace my Nova 2 and was questioning the wisdom of it, until I saw how flippin fast the new paperwhite is. Really looking forward to receiving it next month now.
Best review, Hats off to your patience and dedication!!!
10:05 excellent visual analysis summary. Thanks for your well-done review.
amazing review, thanks a lot!
I would love to see some comparison videos between the new paperwhite and the last gen. I’m also curious how the screen contrast differs between the new paperwhite and the older Voyage.
Dark Mode is HEAVEN. I read on it day and night. My eyes are THANKING me for it.
its actually much worse for your eyes!
@@elezavala can you elaborate on this
Dark mode on an LCD type screen makes sense, it reduces the amount of blue light.
Dark mode on eInk doesnt make much sense, because the screen doesnt emit any light, unless you turn on the screen light.
Which you probably will have to do on eInk screen, which will increase your eye strain.
@@elezavala Explain
@@ArdaKaraduman We need to reduce brightness. That will cut blue light. Decrease to 30%.
The 4th gen did not have a warm light option... Only this one has .. ( apart from the oasis etc) so.. that itself is an amazing upgrade...
Great review!!!
Highly recommend getting a case for your Kindle! My 2018 model received too much pressure in my backpack and now turns pages automatically at the slightest touch
I have been using the kindle app on my iPad and was really excited about this new release and getting my first kindle. However, seeing the images only in black and white has really put me off. So I’m really glad I have watched your review! I wish kindle would make a colour e reader.
I guess a color e-reader is actually the opposite of what an e-reader is. The e-reader aims to provide a paper-like display with the longest battery life possible and something that doesn't affect your eyes especially after spending an entire day in front of monitors and hence most e-readers take this decision to keep things in monochrome.
What's wrong with black and white? You don't need color to read. The entire point of an eReader is battery life and something like looks like paper.
I'm still reading on my second paperwhite and still love it and its screen is scratched too! Not upgrading anytime soon, because it does job and I'm a poor man most importantly!
My paperwhite 2 is still pretty much hold up well too. This gadget is looong lasting.
Very useful, love kindle videos
What a worthy upgrade for me in the coming year!
I cant change the layfonts letters😢
I actually picked up the Signature Edition so this thing lasts a INCREDIBLY LONG TIME!! I went two weeks just reading a Printed Copy of a Book and it barely dropped about 12% off a Hundred of that. The extra is that it’s Qi Chargeable but that’s more of a extra feature less of a selling point. Point is, if you wanna spring for the Signature then go for it if not then the 5 edition is amazing too. Both are great!!
This just reinforces what a price-gouge the Oasis is. An extra 0.2" of screen real estate, a few extra LEDs and some faux 'aluminum' backing and almost double the price of the PW5 (in my part of the world, at least).
You miss the most important: physical buttons for turning pages. For me a deal maker for Oasis
@@africandoo I've not upgraded from my 2015 Kindle Voyage which has haptic buttons and auto-brightness. No wonder this model is now obsolete.. too much value for money :P
Lol, another Oasis-dissing know-nothing. You think screen real estate and tech specs are why some prefer the Oasis? Nah... it's the ability to easily disable the touchscreen and manhandle the thing, read on your back or in any position, because you hold it like an actual book, thumb ON page. The contour for your fingers on the back make your grip that much easier. THIS is what makes the paperwhite a ghetto eReader.
Nice review. It helps a lot. :-)
Thanks for the video. You showed reading different formats, including comics, which is great and I do appreciate. Though most reviews do no cover reading music sheets/scores. It'd be good to include a couple minutes about it. Anyway, I think it's worth buying one for reading small music sheets.
For readers this looks very promising for an efficient performance and consistent support.
Even 5GB of storage is a ridiculously large amount for most readers. These devices are meant for ebooks and that’s plenty of space. Audiobooks are much better suited for smartphones and PDFs & graphic novels are much better suited for tablets.
But manga is better in kindle, and manga is heavy
@@arturocalderon1043 wouldn't suggest Manga on kindle, not good enough
Nah never gonna get a tablet for manga
😔
A bunch of light novels is enough to fill up 5 gb bro... Each epub is 20 mb atleast with few shoring up even more
@@aakash777 like 3K to 5K books…I’d say that’s plenty.
How pocketable is this one compared to the pw4?
I feel like the last gen just fits in my pocket and this one is a little bigger.
This Amazon and mediatek e-reader was an awesome investment for me!
Helped me to read more!
I wanted this when I saw that it had a warm light, but I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need another eReader. Seeing how fast that thing isn't helping my resolve. But seriously, thanks for the review.
Compare to the older paperwhite maybe... My paperwhite 2 still holds itself pretty well but the cumulative improvements since then are significant that now might be a good time to upgrade
Good review, thanks. Although, you didn't say anything about the weight. I know it's heavier than the paperwhite 4. But my doubt is if you can feel that difference in a way that matter.
Is the screen less matte than the Paperwhite 4? One of the selling points of the PPW for me was the almost paper-y texture and genuinely glare-free screen. If the newest has a glossy screen I might just stick to the last model because that's one of the reasons I even got a Kindle in the first place. Would really prefer not to go back to easily smudged and reflective screens when reading.
Pretty good one actually for the buyers and this mediatek-powered device is amazing for bedtime reading.
I would love to see a version that allowed you to both listen to the audio version of the book and read it at the same time. So far I have only ever seen the either or option.
Yeah i'm a bit disappointed that this is not included as a feature. I hope we don't have to wait another 3 years to get this, and that they will add it via Software to the current model. Maybe @Goodreader know more?
Yes!!
Maybe I should upgrade from my 2012 kindle paperwhite now.
Thanks !
My recap for 2021 vs 2018:
- Bigger screen: for a device dedicated only for reading, this is a huge concern. Keep in mind, the screen is bigger, but the device is not that bigger compared to the old one, the bezels are slimmer.
- USB C: it's so convenient to use only one type of charger for everything.
- Warm light: nice to have.
- More responsive: it's already quick but why not.
Actually, the newer Paperwhite is slightly bigger and heavier. I only know this because my wife just got the 2021 Paperwhite while I have the 2018 model.
Good review, this is the first paperwhite i could consider to buy, b4 the 6" screen on paperwhite was to smal, i have a Kobo Clara but same where to smal, just only if i need a ereader on the fly in pocket i use it, home i use 7" or 8" BTW the resolution vs DPI seams wrong.....
Because of the PW 10gen price drop, I was able to get it and I'm not sorry. Even though I know the one I got probably will have less updates available, i find the size to be really comfortable and I don't find the warm light as necessary since e-ink alone has saved my eyes.
I personally don’t think that 8gb is enough. I have the 32 and have 21 free. I really like that I don’t have to worry about freeing up space.
I think there is no point personally, as once I'm done reading the some 500-4000 books (depending on size) I can fit on the 8gb, I'm pretty sure I'm ok with swapping a few out lol. XD
@@SonGoku-jh4xv All good for regular e-books, but audibles are consuming much more space. 8GB would fill up quickly.
You have book-diogenes. Sorry
The heck are you putting on there?
I personally nevery use more than 3GB on my paperwhite 4.
And the full-browser you showed us on the preview?
Considering that paperwhite 4 is a lot cheaper than it used to be, should I just wait for the paperwhite 5 or is it ok to get the gen 4 (since the 5 is still unavailable in my area)
so comic magazines will come out as the original ? with drawing & text ? kindle app displays mostly text on those
Are the overall dimensions similar to previous one?
Comparing my Paperwhite 5 to my Oasis 3
1. Paperwhite has a brighter and clearer screen. It is more evenly lit which is amazing since i thought my Oasis was really good
2. Paperwhite chargers MUCH faster. Yes, USB-C makes a big difference.
3. I still prefer the slightly bigger screen on the Oasis. 7.0” vs 6.8” is noticeable side by side.
4. I realized how much more I prefer the Paperwhite form factor instead of the Oasis.
5. Unfortunately Paperwhite doesnt show up on Calibre (yet).
Overall I think the Paperwhite is much better and improves on all areas from its predecessor.
Mate, can you reply to my comment when Calibre works for you? The only thing holding back my purchase is Calibre integration. Thanks.
@@SergioRodriguez-ib6xw The new Paperwhite now works with the latest Calibre software update. Good to go.
@@richi5831 cheers mate
@Richi
,
hello. In the kindle paperwhite 5, what is installed on the front of the screen? Glass or plastic on the screen e-ink display?
The Kindle version with the mediatek processor is just too good! Its going to offer top experience.
Awesome video, but I really would appreciate a web browser review as well! Thanks
I get that book files take little to no space to actually store, but I mean come on 5GB? in this day and age where 128GB micro SD cards run for $15 to $20 bucks. It is absurd how Amazon can charge almost double for 32GB. The best suited solution would be expandable storage, but honestly I doubt that they’ll ever do that. I would like the ability to keep all my book files, but also manga and visual novels, that take lots of space in comparison.
hummm no it doesn’t, if u do a lil research, you can one thousand books in only 1GB. and comics don’t take thaaat much more space compared to a normal book. 8GB is more than enough even for avid readers for some good years. they only offer the 32GB for people who like audible books, those do take lots of space but still would take some few hundreds of audibles to fill that space up.
Absolutly dont get this device for manga. The dimension of one manga on Kindle store is about 100/150 Mb, much more compare to an ebook. The best choise is wait the 32Gb version, and choose this version or the new Kobo Libra 2, for the same price (and this is not an easy choice!)
I have books that go up to 100mb, but I merge entire series into 1, and some have occasional artwork
Just keep your books on phone and use FTP to transfer books easily.
I definitely want to upgrade from my Paperwhite 3 to this newer model but I do have one question. One of my favorite features of my current Kindle is that you can upload custom fonts. It may be nitpicking butI like this since I'm not very fond of the preloaded fonts if I'm being honest. So does this newer model have that feature as well?
I have kindle signature. Yes you can add fonts, just put your fonts in fonts folder. It is the same with older version of kindle.
Is it possible to switch Landscape view 180°? Very hard to hold it with one hand since margins got thinner.
In comics, they're called "panels" not 'cells". Thanks for the review. It was very helpful. I plan on buying the Paperwhite 5. Mainly for the size and speed. I still use the 3, never upgraded to the 4. But I'll probably wait until one of Amazon's many sales to buy it.
I'm on the PW3 too, Prime Day has the best Kindle sales, but i'm just going to wait for Black Friday next month.
I'm sorry if I missed this in the video but how do you take a screenshot? I can't work it out
I may have missed it somewhere in the video if it was mentioned... but on my 10th Gen I usually tap (at the same time), the corners of my Kindle page. So tap at the *top right corner* and tap at the *bottom left corner* at the same time. You can also tap the opposite sides too if that's more comfortable for you. Hope that helps. 🙂
What does Carta HD mean ? It is the same 300 ppi ? Does it have better greycolor depth ?
My 2015 kindle is still going strong, but it’s time for an upgrade
Can You compare the screen with thé Voyage please?
They FINALLY updated to usb c 👏 I hate having to look for my old cable every time I have to charge my Oasis. Everything else changed to usb c years ago.
Eu estive pesquisando e notei que algumas pessoas notaram travamento no touchpad! Procede??
Is there any point to dark mode on e ink ? It is not emitting any light anyway.
I just hope they make again the voyage, with this same form factor and the screen size of the Oasis. The Oasis is not as portable as this, and nothing has improved the experience from my previous voyage. I'm still not understanding why Amazon dropped the voyage for the form factor of the Oasis.
Pretty good review and it would be a good update for my dead basic kindle no backlight.
But in your experience, which is the best best best note taking e-reader?. I really like to read and I would like to replace all of my notebooks from school and have it all in my device :3.
As I mentioned I had a Kindle that doesn't have backlight, was the basic of 2015, so it gave me a lot of fun in this years and I want a new one with those characteristics. Thank you :).
For note taking I'd check out the Remarkable 2, or something similar. More expensive than a Kindle but MUCH better for note taking.
I have been thinking of getting one of these, a coworker has one. When I first got my iPad, I tried reading a few books on it thru an app, and didn’t really like it. I like holding a real book in my hands. But, for portability, the instant gratification of not having to go to the store or order and wait for a book, and less books cluttering up the house, I’m reconsidering. But now I’m stuck on what I should get…
Should I buy used-ppw3 or buy a new ppw5? Should I use more money to buy a new one if my demand is just reading?
Hi. Great video, thanks. My paperwhite is arrived yesterday. Can i use phone charger 65w, superfast, is there a possibility to damage a kindle with that kind of charger?
The best part of the original was how light it was, is that a huge difference? Is it noticeable how much heavier it is?
Can this rotate to both right and left in landscape mode?
I have the oasis , but i will buy this one as well , just to change from one to the other . This one looks good too
The quicker speed and screen size alone might be worth it. My Kobo broke 2 years ago and I haven't been reading as much since.
So... I'm very fond of Kobo. I have an old Kobo. I've been following the unboxings and Reviews you guys make. The software on Kobo is more Open since it allows for Epubs without conversion etc etc.... But this Kindle has shaken my basement! Wow! Such a Fast device! It's almost tablet like. Seriously, what did they do? And forget about processing power, I'm not sure if the 120+ dollars Kobo Sage can keep up with this guy, except on screen size of course. For the price, you can't get anything better. Not that I know of.
I’m quite sure actually that the Kobo Sage doesnt keep up… it doesn’t even keep up with my Oasis 2. :). Kobo should really improve their responsiveness and speed on their devices. THe Sage has a 1.8ghz quad-core processor, which should be more than enough. On the other hand, it has a much larger screen, and the e-ink technology can only do so much (larger screen size takes more time to draw the ink). It’d be nice if Amazon came up with a larger screen device, then we could really do a comparison.
wondering if I should upgrade my first gen 2012 paperwhite
The screen resolution at 1:26 is wrong for the new one (the 5), it should be 1,236 x 1,648.
When can we get a kindle device which can support epub books? I am still waiting.
Something doesn't add up here: how can both have 300 ppi, but almost the same XY resolution? If the "pixels per inch" really is the same in both models, shouldn't the 1072x1448 of the 6" be scaled up by a factor of 6.8/6, to get approximately 1214x1641?
To be truly 300ppi at 6 inches the original should have been 1080x1440....it was just shy of that
At 6.8 inches assuming 3:4 ratio stays, it would be 4.08 in by 5.44 in and
1224x1632 yo be exclusive 300 ppi
Translate works on manga too?
"It's only day and later that day"
😂
Wow! Great giveaway! I have an older Kindle, love the upgrade of screen size…AND the warm light options would really help with eye strain! Good luck to everyone, but, not gonna lie…would love to win this upgrade :)
Why would they continue putting the power button in the same bottom location where it always gets accidently pressed?
This, so much this. The #1 reason why I was not upset when my Paperwhite died. We must hold the kindles differently to others. I don’t hold in a pinch grip, instead use an open left hand so the thumb could page turn and the little finger supports the device from underneath. Unfortunately this stupid paperwhite design has the power button exactly on that spot. It is likewise a problem using the Amazon kindle stand, you had to very carefully rest it in because that sat on the button. Best loccation ever was the Voyage with a recessed long press button on the back of the device for me - but then Amazon can’t sell you any covers so that is no more.
@Goodereader If i buy this 8gb model can i charge it wireless with the signature edition wireless charging stand?
No, no wireless charging :(
I bought one at 3 am during cyber Monday (it was an impulse buy, I was asleep). It just arrived, and I haven't unpacked it yet. I have an iPad pro 10.5 and it isn't super comfortable for reading since it's a little heavy, but it's not such a big deal. I'm not sure if I really need the Kindle, I don't read that much. Should I unpack it? I can always sell it. I'm going to wait a little, maybe someone can convince me here :-)
I should add that my iPad is always with me, since I use it to draw. I'm tempted with the kindle but I'm not sure why.
If you're in dark mode and long press a word to check the dictionary, will the pop up window also be dark? On the Kobo Libra 2 I was disappointed that the pop up window was white. This stresses my eyes when reading in dark mode in a dark room.
I just tried it, window comes up dark while in dark mode.
Can't wait to buy whenever it's comes to India
Coming Soon on Amazon....
It has already come....I have ordered it and it is coming by day after tomorrow!!

what's everyone's opinion on this kindle vs kobo libra 2? thinking of one of the two but not sure which would be "better".
6 & half a dozen. Pick for ecosystem.
Just bought one of these from ebay. Still using my kindle keyboard that I bought over 10 years ago 😂
How can the screen be larger and the resolution be lower and it still be 300PPI ??? Where did you get those resolutions?
Everybody is talking about resolutions that doesn’t make sense.
They just copy and paste the info.
Those pixel density numbers are impossible with those resolutions.
The Paperwhite 4 resolution/screen size does come out to exactly 300ppi but the Paperwhite 5 with that resolution comes to 263.53 pixels per inch
Did the math, assuming 300ppi on a 3:4 screen and exactly 6.8 in it comes to
1224x1632
4.08in x 5.44in
New Paperwhite has 1448x1648 resolution. 32% increase in area. Someone did a screenshot and checked the image size on the pc.
@@innuendo8497 at 300ppi that wouldn't be 6.8 inches, the numbers I gave are 100% mathematically correct, assuming only that the page ratio (3:4) is the same as it has been on all previous paperwhites, and that it is exactly 300, and exactly 6.8.....I say that because if the pw1-4 were the resolution claimed they were technically closer to 299.8 ish ppi....so my numbers may be off just because they (amazon) were not completely precise
Edit, also, 28.4% again, assuming the 3:4 ratio amd number accuracy from amazon
Can you browse internet and read online articles on this?
Figured out the page animation problem. Doesn’t work in dark mode
Does ppw 5 have ttd feature?
Where can I buy the bluetooth alarm clock?
1:19 ppw 5 is with larger size and almost same resolution, how can you get 4 and 5 both have a PPI of 300
The text does appear darker. Reminds me of the darker contrast seen on the old Kindle Voyage. Is this better than the Kindle Oasis 10th Gen?
I have both and yes the new Paperwhite has a better screen. It is more evenly lit has better contrast.
@@richi5831 Thank you! I have been trying to get this question answered for a while. Would you consider the new Paperwhite 2021 Signature Edition an upgrade over the Kindle Oasis 10th Gen, which is the e-reader I currently use?
@@emcdonald75 I don’t have the signature edition, I purchased the PW5 8gb. I personally like the form factor more on the PW5 than my Oasis 3 (10th gen). I also really enjoy that it has USB-C because it charges much faster. For those two reasons I would switch to the PW5. Also as I mentioned the screen on my PW5 is clearer and has better lighting. But it is a little bit smaller than my Oasis. It’s really personal preference but in my case I would say it is better.
@@richi5831 Thank you for your help! I will order the Signature Edition. I'm just afraid Amazon is going to release a new Kindle Oasis with newer and better features. I hate Amazon gives us no preview of newer devices in their pipeline. Lol
Still not enough of an upgrade for me to move from the previous gen Paperwhite. Is it just me, or is technology in general moving much slower now? Everything is minor updates, from this to the newest Iphone, to the Switch OLED. It feels like nothing truly new is being released.
I would guess they work on the 3 designs behind, they probably already have the specs of the next version, makes people mnore likely to upgrade i guess.
So what would be ‘truly new’ in your opinion? What are you hoping for? Technology is still moving forward: e-ink devices with color are here now, you can even write on them. Foldable screens / phones, better camera’s, etc. The hardware in all these computer devices is absolutely amazing already… and at some point there’s no use putting in extra power or more / better camera’s for the majority of users. Computing power is still evolving, with some truly incredible advancements just around the corner (quantum computers), self-learing devices, self-driving cars, etcetera. Of course, those are all iterations of previous tecchnology, but it’s always been like that. I think for many people it’s already quite hard to keep up with all the changes technology imposes on them!
Agreed
I’ve owned various Kindle versions ranging from the original version through the first Oasis, but just learned from this video that the size of the font could be changed by pinch and zoom instead of going to the font settings. Thank you for that info, Goodreader. I highly recommend getting the 32bg version if you can afford it. My Oasis has 32lgb and it is 2/3 full. (It was at 1/2 for quite a while but I then added a bunch of audio books.) The original Oasis doesn’t have the warm light option and I’m tempted to get the PW5 just for that feature, but I think I will wait to see what changes, if any, are made to the Oasis.
Hi, how did you use so many gbs, do you read mangas or just ebooks?
@@stefano4721 Thanks for asking. I just have e-books, some documents, and some audible books. No mangas. I have to amend my earlier reply to say that I still have 18 GB out of 32 GB free so not quite 2/3 full. The library screen on my Kindles shows 503 pages at six items per page. I want all my e-books, etc. to be immediately available so I download all of them when I buy them. I don’t want to be in the middle of nowhere without wi-fi if I’m in the mood to read or listen to one of the books I’ve bought. I’ve got lots of room and I hate low memory warnings on devices.
I'm still using a pw3, but I might upgrade. Is this much bigger than the older one? I need a pocketable device
The screen itself is 0.8 inches bigger
Is it called Generation 11 in germany?
Can't have 1080x1430 vs 1072x1448 and still be 300ppi at 6 vs 6.8
If it is still 3:4 ratio it would be
1224x1632
Is it worth buying if i got a working paperwhite 2?
Anyone else having issues with their device being stuck on the boot screen (tree screen)? Amazon's sending a replacement but I'm worried it will happen again. Seeing a lot of people having this issue.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but what's the difference in this context between manga and graphic novels? Why not have the same features for both (quick page turn, guided view)? I get that guided view would have to be specially programmed so that each frame can be correctly cropped, and that takes time so not all graphic novels are gonna get it, but the way you phrased this made it seem like they refuse to do it for manga, and I can't think of a good justification for that.
Maybe because Manga are generally smaller in size, so you can read them comfortably at that screen size. But graphic novels sometimes even have Din A4 size and you need something to zoom in.
My Paperwhite 5 arrived today, it is on the old UI i.e no drop down menu. Looking online it appears numerous probs with PW5's freezing up and Amazon have pulled the latest update and reverted to the old UI.
Bizare that not one review managed to pick up on this but the prob is wide spread, are reviwers even actually using the thing to read ?? no info from Amazon about a timescale for the for this. If you are planning on pulling the trigger and like the new UI, hold off until they fix the issue.
I'm also facing same issue. It's being constantly crashed.
Mine it's stuck at the booting screen after a month of use. The only solution was getting a replacement from Amazon. Still waiting for it. Now I'm worried it will happen again
Why can't I see that top bar on my kindle?
