The screen size is still 6-inch (vs 6.8-inch on the Paperwhite), but it is a lot sharper than before, be it text or book covers. Amazon has bumped up the pixel density on this one to 300 PPI which is the same as that of the Paperwhite. The older base Kindle screens used to have 167 PPI pixel density that made the text a tad rough around the edges. This is by far the biggest improvement on this new Kindle. There are no speakers here but one can connect Bluetooth earphones or speakers to consume content from Audible. There is a solitary physical button along the bottom edge to turn on the device or put it in standby. However, unlike the Paperwhite’s, they do not merge seamlessly into the screen and are noticeably raised. The top and side bezels are slimmer than before and almost the same size as the latest Paperwhite. It may fit into some pants pockets too but I wouldn’t recommend doing that. And its compact size makes it easy to slip it in a bag. Holding it in one hand for long does not cause fatigue. To put things in perspective, that’s lighter than most smartphones these days. The device does feel incredibly light in hand and weighs just 158 grams. The company claims that this 11th-gen All-new Kindle is the most compact and lightest to date, and we won’t disagree.

We got to try our hand at the All-new Kindle (as Amazon likes to call it) for the past few weeks, and here’s what’s good and not-so-good about it. With the launch of the latest Kindle (non-Paperwhite), the choice between the two may not be as straightforward as it borrows a lot of goodness from its more elite cousin. It was a no-brainer as the Paperwhite had far better features and readability in comparison to the basic Kindle model. But ever since Amazon launched the first Kindle Paperwhite, that has been a device of choice for those who could afford it. The device is currently in its 11th generation. It’s been almost 15 years since the first Kindle was launched.
