An invention par excellence
Even as someone who reads mostly paperbacks, this is one device that is a brilliant invention and has completely revolutionised the reading culture. I use it for night time + travel reading and it just exactly serves what I need, a distraction-free reading time with no nonsensical apps or notifications to disturb or digress. An extremely strong firmware and built. my last device lasted 9 years without even one small niggle. Always recommended.

Add audible in UPDATE PLEASE!!!
Amazing but hoped there would’ve been audible available as in USA Like at this range audible should have been provided..I have to use my phone separately for the audiobook which leads to a lot of distractions..overall nice!!

13 Years, 5 Kindles, and a Reading Ritual That Stuck
My Kindle saga started way back in 2012 with the 5th Gen—imported from the US because Kindle hadn’t reached Indian shores yet. That little slab of e-ink magic got four solid years of loyal service before I passed it on to someone who’d never tried an e-reader.In 2015, I picked up the Kindle 7th Gen Touch, and wow, did that one put in the work. It survived until 2023, almost eight years! What finally brought it down? The micro-USB charging port broke. That’s it. No drama. Just a quiet exit after a long, noble run. Honestly, most phones don’t even make it to the second Android update.In 2018, I got the Paperwhite 4—not because the old one failed, but because I needed that front light. Nighttime reading without waking anyone up? Game changer. That one lived right next to my pillow.Then in 2021, I moved to the Paperwhite 5 (USB-C, bigger screen, better light), and now in 2025, I’ve pre-ordered the Paperwhite 6. It’s like clockwork—every few years, I upgrade not out of necessity, but out of curiosity and gratitude. And each old Kindle gets handed down. No landfill. Just legacy.The Kindle isn’t flashy. It doesn’t send notifications or beg for attention. It just quietly builds a reading habit that sticks. After all these years, it’s still the only device that makes me feel like I’m spending time instead of wasting it.Final Thoughts:Speaking from over a decade of experience, it’s time to break the misconception: a Kindle isn’t just a ‘lesser tablet.’ It’s not about flashy features or multitasking capabilities. It’s about what it doesn’t have—no notifications, no social media, no distractions.When you pick up a Kindle and leave your phone behind, you enter a zone of pure, uninterrupted reading. It’s a device that respects your focus and fosters a genuine connection with the written word.So, if you’re looking to build a reading habit or deepen your existing one, a Kindle isn’t just a gadget—it’s a gateway to a more mindful reading experience.

Not useful for maths and science books. Equations don't display.
Device is fine. Not useful for scientific and mathematical papers. I found it after purchasing. No refund only replacement.I guess for electronics Brick and Mortar stores are better. You can check everything.No return policy is anti customer friendly and draconian.This policy shall back fire.

Simply great..
This is the third Kindle Paperwhite(12th Gen) I have, besides the Kindle Paperwhite(11th Gen) and Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. This Kindle is a little bit larger than the earlier Kindle Paperwhite. It has a 7'' Screen. It looks nice and sturdy. It is faster than the earlier Kindle Paperwhite. The page turns are also fast. It is more finished in the corners. It is a 16 GB Kindle, from which you will get 11 GB to store books. It is more than sufficient. You should buy this Kindle. Go for it. Waiting for Amazon to launch Kindle Scribe in India.
