Amazon Kindle Oasis: Best high-end Kindle Read our full Kindle Paperwhite review for more detailsģ. While the extras it offers – wireless charging, automatic brightness adjustment and 32GB of storage – are certainly pleasing, if you're going to spend that much on an ebook reader, you're probably better off looking at the top-of-the-range Kindle Oasis instead.

It's probably not worth paying £50 more for the £180 'Signature Edition', mind. The new chip that makes this possible is also a lot more efficient, as battery life jumps from an already stunning six weeks to a gargantuan ten. Add to that 17 LEDs with warm lighting to help night-time readers sleep and USB-C connectivity, and it's a solid upgrade that builds on the previous edition by maintaining Audible integration and IPX8 waterproofing. Thinner bezels and a larger 6.8in screen mean more words per page, and it's noticeably nippier than the previous generation too, booting up and loading the Kindle store faster than ever. 2021 saw the fifth generation of Kindle Paperwhite introduced, and while it's not as significant a step forward as the fourth, the all-new e-reader has enough new features to be an appealing choice to newcomers and those looking to upgrade.
