Amazon on April 30 launched the Kindle Paperwhite in India, featuring the biggest screen yet for the lineup. The refreshed model brings a 7-inch glare-free e-ink display flanked by thin bezels, and a thinner, lighter design. It’s also the first Paperwhite to get an upgraded dual-core processor, which Amazon claims makes page turns 25 per cent faster and improves overall responsiveness.

Kindle Paperwhite (2025): What is new

 

The highlight of the new Paperwhite is its 7-inch glare-free E Ink display, which now features oxide thin-film transistors for improved contrast. While the resolution remains at 300 ppi, the increase in screen size and reduction in bulk should improve both readability and portability. Readers can also adjust the display’s warm light and enable dark mode for low-light environments.
