Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After almost 4 years what do we get? Nothing of practical use. Is 8gb of storage really necessary? Of course not, unless you have 10,000 side-loaded books that will take you 20 years to read. Waterproof? After 10 years of owning Kindles I’ve never needed it. So unless you’re Michael Phelps or love to read underwater with goggles on its not necessary. Bluetooth? Does a real book have bluetooth? Worse yet, there is no immersive reading so it’s pointless.... Why is this the the worst Paperwhite yet? It feels flimsy and hollow. It still has the same design as the original Paperwhite, you know the one released back in 2012 which makes it 6 years old. It still has the same Dinosaur bezels and now attracts more reflection, smudges and fingerprints than ever before. There is so much glare on this thing my girlfriend uses it to put make-up on. No but seriously a more appropriate name would have been the "Kindle Refection" or the "Kindle Pinhole" due to going through three different exchanges due to pinholes and dead pixels. It's sad. In my opinion, the previous Paperwhite 3 is better with the paper-like feel of the screen, it also has no glare and much better contrast and clarity. The new Paperwhite suffers from this as well as the dull and uneven lighting as seen in the picture. It also feels cheaply made and you can tell Amazon cut corners in assembly. As an example, the Voyage is also lighter but feels sturdy and solid in the hand whereas the new Paperwhite feels empty. Needless to say this new release is a major disappointment, but thats what happens when Amazon has no competition, the customer is the one to suffer. We all lose. Amazon is not innovating, they are not doing anything to improve the Kindle in practical ways that matter. More storage, waterproof and bluetooth are all gimmicks that the 99.9% of us don’t need. Its all a marketing scam. What would have been nice is page turn buttons, less monstrous bezels, less glare, and Comfort light (the adjustment of color temperature for nighttime reading). Even the Glowlight 3 has it, and it’s 2 year old technology. Side by side this Paperwhite is worst in every way that matters next to my Paperwhite 3. I'm just disgusted with Amazon right now for slacking and making us wait so long for a mediocre device. Lastly, what is up with the White Logo? Talk about distracting! Amazon went black on black with the Paperwhite 3 to avoid distractions and allow for a more immersive reading experience. To go back to a white distracting logo makes absolute no sense. Why Amazon? Here is a side by side picture of the new Paperwhite 4 which should be adequately named (on the left) and the superior Paperwhite 3 (on the right). The choice is clear.
