2024 Kindle Paperwhite 6 vs Paperwhite 5 Comparison Review
2024 Kindle Paperwhite 6 vs Paperwhite 5 Comparison Review

This video shows the differences between the new 7″ Kindle Paperwhite for 2024 (the 12th gen model) and the 6.8″ Paperwhite from 2021, the 11th gen model, the PW6 vs the PW5. They are mostly the same but the new model is faster and it has a newer E Ink screen with better contrast.
See my website for more reviews: https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/
I would have changed it from my PW5 if it had a metalic back, not the rubbery one(like oasis). Rubbery back is nice to hold, but it gets dirty toooo easily. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the comparison, and especially for highlighting the difference in contrast. For me, better contrast is the only reason to choose the 12th-gen. How does it compare to the Cobo Clara BW?
How does the contrast compare with the oasis or voyage?
Amazon is really getting lazy these days. My next e-reader will be a kobo for sure.
Básicamente es lo mismo, no vale la pena gastar en ese modelo.
I like the design of the Oasis more, I think they should make all their devices with that design, shame they discontinued it.
Is the New Paperwhite more comparable to the Voyage now? As far as screen clarity?
can you do a basic kindle 11 gen 2022 vs 2024 video too? really curious how the screens compare.
edit: also would appreciate pw6 vs basic kindle 2024
I’ll be sticking with my PW5 for now it still looks and functions like brand new. Not enough reasons to upgrade and at $160.00 – $200.00 I’ll pass.
Thanks for this great video comparison! Will I wait for Black Friday or any other sale to buy the new Paperwhite? That is THE question!
Great to see you update again❤ Thanks for the review!
Id prefer if Amazon made a small kindle of 4 to 5 inches.
People who upgrade their Paperwhite to the Paperwhite need to rethink their finances.
There is hardly a difference between the models.
You might be able to tell when you have them in front of you, but YouTube compression makes sure we can not.
Thanks for the video! As soon as you are able – could you please compare the contrast and also speed for UI and page turns vs. the Colorsoft? I’m really curious how the b&w and speed compares between the two new devices….
There are things where the new model is def a bit faster, although I would argue it’s not 25% faster in any way. Page turning though, after the latest update, is not of those things. I’m quite happy with my Gen11.
Without a side-by-side comparison at home, I think I will happily stick with PW5 and keep that money in my pocket.
Before I saw the title I thought a dual page kindle released 😭🙏
How is the battery life? I upgraded from an old PW and so far battery seems to die much quicker.
Definitely not 12 weeks of 30m reading with light at 13/24 but I hope it was just a first week thing.
Otherwise, loving it so far.
can you compare the contrast of new paperwhite with new basic and new colorsoft. compare the black text and white background
Was waiting for your review since you really do a great comparison. ❤Agreed the recent software update made them closer in speed, but I do appreciate the contrast difference. Thanks!!
practically the same
Thanks for the review! I’m glad there’s some incremental improvements between the models, and dark levels are really different, even in the video. I wonder how Kindle Colorsoft will look.
Kindle should add reading stats like Kobo.
Love your content! I’d really love a screen comparison between the Libra Colour and the Libra 2
No Carta 1300 ink, no microetched glass even to atleast try to come closer in contrast, crispness of the competitors. Forget all that, lets give marginal speed increase and new colour way.. YAY.
Might aswell had named the device "iKindle"
Seems like influencer/istagrammer crowd is the targetted customers instead of actual readers.
People have said the new is more yellow, but in your vid it looks the other way round
I don’t like it being wider than 11th gen. 8mm wider for only 6% bigger screen. They could have kept it the same imo.
The battery of my pw5 became drain more and more by the time pw6 was released. It seems Amazon wants me to buy newer model😂😂
Can you test high intensive pdfs. Ie library book scans, photo book scans. These don’t work on the last gen. Curious if they are working now.
i don’t really like the round corners on the screen. the corners on pw5 looks more like a book.
Good to know about the software update improving the page turn speed!
What I need is a paperwhite in a size of basic
Does Calibre work with the newer models?
I am gonna stick with my PW5 I got it 2 months ago for $50 from my local Target.
It seems new ppw doesn’t use carta 1300 because there is not much of different between these 2 devices. I have ppw5, Kobo Clara BW (which using carta 1300) and Boox Page (which using carta 1200), their difference much more noticeable than ppw 6 and ppw5 in this video.
Great improvement. Better black and silky smooth!
What about pdf readig? It works horrible pod paperwhite 5
Wow, it’s nothing. I bought a refurb PW5 for $50 a week before the new one came out. Crazy that it would cost me more than 3x the price.
