Being able to read in less than perfect light, or even in complete darkness, is fantastic.Change the default log in details immediately. Perhaps Calibre will add the ability to do this in a future update, but even if not, I'm pleased with my purchase. Again this isn't that much of an issue for me, but I did like to have my fiction and non-fiction separated on my old Kindle, and now I have everything in one giant list. My main criticism - something others noted above - is that there's no way to make collections, either via Calibre or on the device itself.

It's only a couple of additional taps to get to my books, so hardly an imposition, but it would be nice to be able to bypass that altogether. Amazon seem to have decided to really emphasise the shop, and as such there's a lot of wasted space on the screen. I don't like the interface quite as much as my old Kindle, but it's a minor complaint.

I don't know whether it would have changed anything had I done that. Note that I didn't pre-register it when I placed the order.

CALIBRE FOR KINDLE PAPERWHITE REGISTRATION

It did funnel me into the registration process initially, and at first I thought I might be stuck there, but all you have to do is click OK a few times, and if you're not connected to the internet, it just tells you to come back and finish the registration the next time you're online. I put it straight into aeroplane mode the first time I turned it on, and that's where it's staying. I haven't connected it to the internet at all. Managing the device with Calibre is exactly the same as it was with my 2014 Kindle.

CALIBRE FOR KINDLE PAPERWHITE OFFLINE

It can live permanently offline quite happily and it does everything I want, with only a few minor shortcomings. TLDR - I bought a 2021 Paperwhite, and it's great.

CALIBRE FOR KINDLE PAPERWHITE UPDATE

I bought at Kobo Libra 2 at the same time and I much prefer the screen on the Kindle.ĭragging up an old thread here, but I thought I'd post an update for anyone who might have this question in the future. In the meantime, making it refresh every page mostly eliminates the problem.

CALIBRE FOR KINDLE PAPERWHITE SOFTWARE

Seems to me we saw this behavior in a kIndle back in the day so maybe it'll be corrected in a future software update. Also, I notice that when the page refreshes, it sometimes jumps an extra page. One thing to consider is that the new one has slim bezels and you might want to consider a cover for it because of this. And the battery life is the best I've seen on any of my Kindles. The screen on the new Paperwhite is amazing I'm sure you'll like it.

CALIBRE FOR KINDLE PAPERWHITE DOWNLOAD

I use mine with Calibre exclusively to download my books without any problems. I don't think you'll see any difference with Calibre than you're already used to, so I don't know what Jon is talking about. I think they already register the device before they send it and you can see it in your "Content and Devices" before you ever get it. My feeling is that you're going to have to at least sign in to your Amazon account with it. I wasn't concerned about that when I got mine, so didn't pay that much attention. I'm not sure whether you can use it without registering it or not. I just want a dumb device that displays what I put on it, and does nothing else. Will I be able to take this new one out of its box, put it in aeroplane mode right away, copy my books to it, and basically pick up where I left off with my current Kindle? I don't want to be forced through any kind of registration process. Will I still be able to do that? I know that more and more devices these days positively demand to be online, and sometimes won't even function properly if they're denied access. My current one has been in aeroplane mode since the day I got it, and I use Calibre exclusively to manage what's on it. I don't connect my Kindle to the internet at all, and I'd like it to stay that way. If you've got one, as a fellow Calibre user, are you happy with it? I know Calibre support for it is fairly recent, but in general does the device work well?

That's the one additional feature I always wanted. The adjustable warm backlight on the 2021 Paperwhite is turning my head though. It's been fantastic, and a faithful companion for the past seven years.
