The 2021 Paperwhites include a Kids Edition, which brings a bigger and sleeker screen, more lighting options, and IPX8 water resistance for the first time over the original Kindle Kids Edition.
#AMAZON KINDLE BOOKS UPDATE#
We'll be testing it soon and will update this guide with our thoughts, but it's likely a safe bet to snag the newer model if you need a new e-reader. It's $10 more than the older version, now costing $100 (or $120 for no ads).

It has a USB-C port, so you can juice it up with the same cable as your laptop, tablet, or Android phone. This one gets double the storage at 16 gigabytes and a 300-pixel-per-inch (PPI) screen resolution versus the old one's 197 PPI. ★ Note : Amazon finally updated its base Kindle. (You can delete audiobooks when you're done to clear space.) It gets about three to six weeks of battery life, depending on how much you read. For reference, an hour of audio will take up about 30 megabytes, so it can fit dozens of audiobooks. It can also stream Audible audiobooks to headphones via Bluetooth, but storage is limited to 8 gigabytes (about 8,000 megabytes). If you can spend $20 more, you should opt for no ads on the home screen. This base Kindle has an adequate 6-inch E Ink capacitive touchscreen for reading, and it lights up so you can read in the dark. If you want a basic ebook reader, this has all the essentials ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) and is quite affordable. The 2021 Paperwhites all have USB-C charging, but the Signature supports wireless charging. Still, if you want to save some cash, just clean out your backlog you can remove a book from your device without deleting it entirely from your Amazon account. If you mostly listen to audiobooks, you may want to go for the Signature, since those tend to take up more room. That's a big difference, but you can still read and store a lot of books with 8 gigabytes (around 5,000). The Signature has 32 gigabytes of storage and the Standard has 8 gigs. Its faster page-turn rate means there's no delay while you read. The screens are brighter overall at their max and have adjustable warm lighting, but only the Signature can auto-adjust that brightness to your surroundings-we think that should be standard across all models. We tried the Signature Edition ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends), but all three have bigger, 6.8-inch screens with smaller bezels. The step-up, waterproof e-reader went from one to three models, and they rival the more expensive Oasis. Apple required e-reader makers to remove links in their iOS apps that allowed people to make purchases in 2011, even if the links redirected to a website.We think most people will like the latest Paperwhites the best. IPhone users are already familiar with this arrangement for the Kindle app. The company has also reportedly disabled in-app purchases on its Audible and Music apps, in addition to removing digital purchasing features on its Shopping and Prime Video apps. The app displays a notification that in-app purchases and rentals aren't available. Amazon implemented the change in version 8.58 of the Kindle app for Android. Google said it will remove non-compliant apps from the Play Store starting on Wednesday. The billing system isn't used for the sale of physical objects like groceries and clothes or for peer-to-peer payments or gambling that takes place on apps. Google takes a 15% cut of transactions on its Play Store billing system. The company later gave app developers until June 1, 2022, to comply.

The Android maker said in 2020 that apps must use the Google Play billing system to charge for "in-app features and services," which include digital content in addition to subscription services, upgraded versions of a free app and cloud services like data storage. The notification went out one day before a deadline set by Google to comply with the policy.

The Kindle app for Android displays this message when users click on a link saying, "Why can't I buy on the app?." The change was necessary "to remain in compliance with updated Google Play Store policies," Amazon said in the email. In an email, the company explained people will have to pay for the digital content on a web browser and then access the books through their app's digital library. Amazon let customers know on Tuesday they can no longer rent or buy books or pay for Kindle Unlimited subscriptions using the Kindle app.
