The biggest complaint I had was that I found the light to be a bit harsher than the warmer tones you can get on the Paperwhite. The e-ink grayscale display looked fantastic and was easy to read. This Kindle has an upgraded 300 ppi 6-inch display that felt incredibly comfortable for this former Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (3rd generation) user. Now, Amazon is fixing that with the Kindle (2022). That's fine for reading, but noticeably below the resolution of the rest of the Kindle lineup. While the Amazon Kindle 2019 upgraded the display by adding four front lights, which allow for a better and more energy-efficient reading experience, it still featured a relatively low resolution at just 167 ppi. One of the biggest complaints about the previous iteration of the Kindle in our review was the mediocre display resolution. I think that Amazon could accomplish this without undercutting the more expensive Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which still offers improved lighting options and a larger size than the base 2022 Kindle. The only design change I would advocate for is upgrading the chassis for the Kindle to be IPX8 waterproof resistance rated. Some people like to have physical page-turn buttons, but personally, I don’t view the lack of those as a negative. To be fair, there isn’t really a need for anything else. Aside from a power button and the USB-C charging port, there’s nothing else. It also remains a no-frills device in terms of extra physical features.
