Take reading to new places

The Signature Edition also comes ad‑free by default, includes VoiceView support, dark mode, adjustable font and margin settings, and continues receiving security updates for at least four years after it’s discontinued.

Key Features

Spacious 32 GB Storage

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition doubles the onboard capacity found in the standard model—offering 32 GB of storage—which is ideal for avid readers. Whether you’re storing thousands of e-books or large graphic novels, audiobooks, or PDFs, this generous memory ensures you never run out of space.

Auto‑Adjusting Front Light with Warmth Control

Equipped with both white and amber LEDs, the device features an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness and warmth based on your environment. This makes reading from bright daylight to a dark bedroom effortless and gentle on the eyes without manual adjustments.

7‑inch 300 ppi Waterproof Paperwhite Display

With a 7‑inch glare‑free E Ink Carta display at a sharp 300 ppi, the screen offers high contrast text readability. Plus, it’s fully waterproof (IPX8 certified), so you can confidently read near the pool, in the bath, or outdoors without worry.

Long‑Lasting Battery and Ad‑Free by Default

A single full charge of the Kindle gives you up to 10–12 weeks of typical reading time (30 minutes daily), depending on usage settings. The Signature Edition also comes ad-free, so stories remain uninterrupted by lock screen promotions or sponsored content
