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.

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.

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.
