This might be a big ask, with the new Kindle Oasis (2022) probably more likely to get a color screen, but it’s something we’d love to see on the new Kindle Paperwhite (2022) as well.Ĭolor ereaders are coming, with TCL having already announced one for example. This has been the case since day one of Kindles, and while the situation has improved a little in recent years, you still don’t really feel like you’re using a slick, modern device, so this is something that we’d like to see improved for the next Paperwhite. One issue we found even with the Signature Edition of the current Paperwhite model is that page turns feel slow.

Maybe if Amazon adds major new features like a color screen (more on which below) then charging the current prices (or even higher ones) could be justified, but otherwise, we want the Kindle Paperwhite (2022) to cost a bit less. It’s not unusual for tech prices to go up, but given that this is a mid-range model and feels fairly low-tech in a lot of ways, we don’t think the price should be too high.

One complaint we had about both the standard Kindle Paperwhite (2021) and the Signature Edition was the price, as you were paying more than for previous models. So for the next generation of Kindle we’d like to see Amazon skip the Signature Edition and just add those features to the standard Paperwhite. While it’s a good device, it doesn’t add much to the standard Paperwhite, and doesn’t really justify the price leap. Speaking of which, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2021) feels a bit unnecessary. A Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2021) (Image credit: Future)
