I'm sure it will be a fine device. But looking for reviews to tell you what you just bought after you have already bought it reminds me of the way Congress passes bills these days.

Because we ordered it a while ago and are eagerly waiting for it. Watching reviews is way to fill that waiting time.

And we can send it back if we don’t like it.

I'm hoping to get mine this weekend, but no shipping notification yet. And I don't know if it will be shipped today, but I'm hoping it will.

I'm really curious to see the screen next to the Paperwhite 4.

And I love all the review videos. It fills the time.

There are also a lot of reviews and pictures popping up on the Kindle sub-reddit now:

Got my brand new Kids Edition Kindle Paperwhite. First off, there was a screen about accepting the Kindle Kids or whatever it is, with no button to get out of the screen. I set it down with the cover closed. When I came back, the screen was gone, was in the main screen. Side loaded my fonts, but Calibre did not pick it up. Too new? I don't know. I hope there will be a way to get it to work because I am on Win7 and can't update Calibre.

Screen and lighting is beautiful!

Hoe does the screen compares to Voyage and PW4 ? Is it plastic like PW4 or glass like the Voyage?

No old version of Calibre is going to recognize your new PW, unfortunately. Support for a new device is only added to the newest version.

I’m interested in how the screen compares to the Voyage, PW4, and the Oasis, if anyone has the new Paperwhite and any of those devices please.

booklover6 · 10-27-2021, 03:25 PM

PW4 left, PW5 center, Voyage right

Josieb1 · 10-27-2021, 03:28 PM

booklover6 could I ask what devices are in the picture please? Thanks

booklover6 · 10-27-2021, 03:40 PM

My pics aren't the greatest, sorry. The paperwhite 4 is on the left, the new Paperwhite 5 is in the center, the Voyage is on the right.

thank you for taking the pictures. the PW5 screen looks good, although with it having a 6.8 screen the device is noticeably bigger.

best wishes koboy

Thank you, your pics are really good and I'm a little relived to see the PW5 being better than the PW4 on these pics.

My Paperwhite 2015 screen had a more textured, soft feel. My 2021 Paperwhite has a more smooth, tablet-ish feel. The new one looks and feels better to me... I also like that it is flush with the bezel. I'm also really liking the USBC port, as I can now pack away one more cable.
