Dive in. With the waterproof Kindle Paperwhite, you can read and relax in even more places, such as at the beach or in the bathtub.

Very good82/100
- Waterproof according to IPX8+
- Audio books via Bluetooth
- No Onleihe support
The casing of the Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof, at least for a few minutes. The 6-inch screen offers a very good 300-ppi resolution, can display 16 greyscales, is anti-reflective and has an illumination with adjustable brightness. The device does not have scroll buttons; operation is exclusively via the touch-sensitive screen...
- Good display
- Only test candidate with GSM module
- No Onleihe
- Compulsory registration
A narrow double victory for Pocketbook: In both the 6-inch and the 7-inch class, the devices from Switzerland took the test victory by a razor-thin margin. In the low-priced readers, Amazon's Kindle Basic and the Tolino Page 2 were tied. The slightly lower price ultimately helped the Amazon device to win the price-performance category...
- Very good workmanship
- water-protected
- Registration with Amazon mandatory
All six tested eBook readers offer solid features, are well-made and display texts crisply. In addition, all candidates score points with integrated lighting. Those who want to take care of as little as possible and can live with limitations in the book shop selection are best served with a Kindle from Amazon...

If you only want to read, you can be happy with a Kindle from the third Paperwhite generation onwards (equivalent to the seventh Kindle generation). The new Kindle is worthwhile above all for people who want to want to store, listen to and read a lot of audio books and e-books on one device.
This test report belongs to a different type: Kindle Paperwhite (11th Generation) - 2021 (6.80", 8 GB, Black)
- Simple operation
- Top processing
- Favourable price
- No SmartLight
- Account compulsion
- Only a few formats readable
The third one reads better: The winner of the eBook reader comparison comes from Pocketbook. Only very close behind are the top dogs from Tolino and Amazon. But no matter which model the buyer chooses: He always buys a good device.
