With a full model change, the screen has been enlarged to 6.8 inches, and page turning has become explosive! "Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (11th generation)"

"Kindle Paperwhite (11th generation)" is Amazon's e-book reader equipped with E Ink e-paper. In addition to increasing the size of the screen from 6-inch to 6.8-inch, the major feature is the adoption of the latest form factors such as the adoption of USB Type-C.

The Kindle Paperwhite, the first model released at the same time as the landing in Japan in 2014, has undergone repeated minor changes with the same housing design, and in 2019 it was renewed to a different housing design for the first time. Only two years after that, this model has undergone a full model change again.

The highlight of this model change is the larger screen. Recently, the screens of smartphones have tended to become larger, and rival Rakuten Kobo has introduced 7-inch and 8-inch models one after another for e-book readers. Now that the once mainstream 6-inch is becoming obsolete, it can be said that the larger screen of the main Kindle Paperwhite was inevitable.

This time, we will use the model I purchased (without ads) and verify its usability, focusing on the differences from the conventional model.
