HAVING SAID ALL THIS I MUST SAY THE NEW AND THE OLD KINDLE'S PROVIDE SUPERB READING CONVENIENCE AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN HIGHLY RECOMMENDING THEM. THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT YOUR NEEDS WHEN BUYING A KINDLE PAPERWHITE, AS THE CHEAPER MODELS STILL PROVIDE A SUPERB READING EXPERIENCE.
My wife’s Kindle began to display the same erratic behavior in late January. That, too, was promptly replaced and is, so far, still working normally.
In March my replacement Kindle began to malfunction in much the same manner as the original.
So, I am now about to begin the process of contacting Amazon customer support in the hopes of exchanging my All New Paperwhite for one that works. Wish me luck.
In the light of the above disappointing experience, a few comments about the All New Kindle Paperwhite while it worked. In my view, it is less crisp, more sluggish than my trusty 2013 Paperwhite. It is not as responsive to a tap to turn a page. Starting up now involves a waiting period. It appears to me that the definition of the print is not as sharp as my old Paperwhite. The dictionary and translations do not respond as quickly.
Would I recommend that somebody buy the All New Kindle Paperwhite (International Version)? See below.
UPDATE. 2/4/19
In response to my complaint, a brand new Kindle was delivered about a week ago. It has worked perfectly so far and I am, once again a happy customer. In my opinion the new Kindle is an improvement over the previous model in that it is slightly smaller and lighter, thus even easier to hold and use. Now I am able to say that the print is the same quality,if not better. The annoying waiting period on start up can be switched off. So, it was difficult for Amazon to improve on an almost perfect product, but I think they have done so. It is an absolute essential for the avid reader.
UPDATE 24/12/2019
Christmas Eve, and my replacement Kindle, the third, is now malfunctioning in the manner originally described above. Is it me, is it the Kindle, how long are they meant to last? I don’t know. My new year will begin with seeking a refund or replacement from Amazon. A time consuming exercise. This is not what I imagined the Kindle experience would be.
So for the main reason I bought this, I want a glare free, eink device that can handle some pdfs as well as ebooks. The ebooks functions is spotless. And while I knew from some reviews that reading PDFs on this one won't be that practical. But compare to my old kindle, this works fairly well. Some lags on zooming pictures and diagrams, I can still read them. Works best with mostly texts PDFs. The screen is sure small, but since I can zoom or go into landscape mode, I don't have much problems with that.
This is an international version with no ads.
Plus points, I ordered this on Monday and got it on Saturday of the same week which is way much earlier than expected. Very fast for shipping from US to Thailand.
I got the microusb charger cable in the box and I understand that there's no adapter included. I don't mind it that much because I still got the old kindle charger amd I also can charge this with my powerbank, notebook, and mobilephone charger.
