In short, it should survive a few splashes of water or a light drizzle, but it's best if you don't try using it underwater. The IPX8 rating should provide protection “against accidental immersion in up to two metres of fresh water for up to 60 minutes, and up to 0.25 metres of seawater for up to three minutes,” as per Amazon. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has a Type-C charging port at the bottom, next to the power button. The new logo on the back of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2021)

There's a slightly raised border running along the edges which should provide some protection for the screen when the device is placed face-down. The space below the screen is still quite broad, but the overall reduced bezel size together with the larger display (that sits flush with the front face), gives the new Paperwhite a sleeker profile and a modern look.


The bezels on the sides and above the display have been reduced drastically when compared to the previous model. The biggest design change to the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is on the front.

A small design change that easily differentiates the 2021 models from previous ones is that there's just one big, curved arrow (or smile) now instead of the Amazon logo on the back panel. It has a plastic chassis with a rubberised texture on the back for grip. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition looks identical to the standard Kindle Paperwhite. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2021) build quality and design Despite the Signature Edition's relatively reasonable price, I still find that it will only appeal to a select set of buyers. 21,999 for its slightly larger display, more buttons and premium build quality. 17,999 compared to the Kindle Oasis (2019), which is priced higher at Rs. I have been using the Signature Edition of the Kindle Paperwhite (2021) for a few weeks, and it's easy to conclude that it offers good value for money at Rs. The Signature Edition, which is the one we'll be reviewing today, builds on the standard Kindle Paperwhite and adds more storage along with other handy features. The new Kindle Paperwhite (11th Gen) maintains the IPX8 rating and has a bigger display with an adjustable warm frontlight, a USB Type-C port, and a slightly bigger battery than the previous model, but only Wi-Fi connectivity. Previously updated back in 2018, the Kindle Paperwhite (10th Gen) received an IPX8 rating and optional LTE capabilities. Back in September 2021, Amazon launched its new Kindle Paperwhite (11 th Gen) and a Paperwhite Signature Edition with additional features.
