Kindle Paperwhite

Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a PW last night. Was looking at it on my phone just before bed and Amazon reminded me, “if you order in the next 39 minutes, you’ll get this Sunday!” - the marketing worked on me. If I get it tomorrow I will have time to set it up before another work week starts!

Next, looking for a fun cover… :slight_smile: Mine is the waterproof edition - I’m thinking overall the last couple of editions are the same size?

@abasket my PW cover is also a stand, which I enjoy when I want hands free reading. I think it’s a Moku?

I used to get black covers. This time, I got a bright blue cover which is great because it’s easier to find the Kindle when I lose it, multiple times a day.

^^Right, no black for me!

@abasket I use this style of cover since I like to read in the vertical orientation and the cover acts like a stand with multiple viewing angles. Opening the cover automatically turns on the kindle, although I think if you got the type of kindle with ads you might have to press an extra button to unlock; I don’t know personally since mine doesn’t have ads, but I believe that’s what some reviewers have said.

I’m finding that I DO need to buy a case specifically for this 10th edition - it’s thinner so other cases won’t be a good fit. That’s fine!

Currently looking at this one - blue or yellow. :slight_smile: Doesn’t stand though.

I got an earlier version of this lightweight composition book case. I figured it might deter thieves who would think it was just a paper notebook and not a Kindle, and it did fool my husband once!

@Hello44 That’s funny. I got one of those Fintie also. My only rule is the case has to be bright and of an unusual color! Many times I left my dark navy kindle on a black chair and could not see it right in front of my eyes! Wish I got orange.

^^Funny my other choice that I found was not that pattern but that model of Fintie.
I like colorful florals! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZ2JKTY/ref=twister_B07M5LFH1Q?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

@abasket that is the floral cover I have on my IPad. It’s my 2nd Fintie cover for this IPad the other lasted about 3 years before the corner broke.

I got this cover. I love the way I can fold it into the stand, or leave it flat. It turns on the Kindle when I open it. Love it!

The one I bought is 10th generation - ^^^this one (and many others) won’t work! :slight_smile:

Good to know @mom60. I think 3 years out of that price range is great!

If anyone cares, there may be a new IPAd coming out this spring. I’m hoping for it.

The current 32GB iPad is on sale on Amazon for $250 - maybe the price drop is related to the upcoming release. Regardless, $250 is a great price and I’d jump on it if I was a price-sensitive buyer.

I’ve had the previous 2 generations of iPad and bought W the current one for Christmas - there really hasn’t been much change in the past few years at all.

How’s the new kindle? Busy reading? :wink:

I bought a Paperwhite solely for the purpose of being able to read outside, at the beach especially.
