Q: Greetings Will this version work in Cyrrilic alphabet? Will it work well if used in Bulgaria? Thanks

submitted by Martin - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi Martin, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) To better understand your individual needs, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    Target expert support
  • A: Hi Martin! All current generation Kindles, including the Kindle Paperwhite, support the Cyrrilic alphabet. The device itself should work fine no matter where in the world it's being used, however your access to the Kindle store may be limited depending on where you are accessing the internet from. You'll always have the option to load books and files manually via a USB connection though, so even if you find you don't have access to the correct store front for the languages you're looking for you'll have some options to add new content to your device. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

Q: Can I transfer my downloaded books and games from an early version to this new version?

submitted by Deb - 5 months ago
  • A: Hi Deb! The Kindle Paperwhite is an eReader, so if you have an older Kindle Fire you will only be able to transfer purchased or downloaded books to this new device. If you're looking for a device that will work with both your games and books I would suggest checking out the Fire HD 8 for a similarly sized device that will do both. The best part is that either way, your games and books are linked to your Amazon account so all you'll need to do is sign in using the same account in order to regain access to them. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love my Kindle Paperwhite! It’s super easy on the eyes, even when I’m reading at night or outside in the sun. The screen looks just like paper, and the adjustable lighting is a nice touch. I’ve been reading way more since I got it—it’s lightweight and the battery lasts forever. 4 out of 5 stars only because I kinda wish it had physical page-turn buttons, but honestly, it’s still an awesome little device. Totally recommend for book lovers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this kindle! I’ve been a long time Kendall user and fan. This is the newer generation of the Kindle version, and I love it! Super lightweight and excellent battery life. My previous older version had a lag with turning the pages and going to the menu, but that’s not the case for this one. I love this Kindle so happy it was gifted to me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably one of my most favorite possessions. I love that you can read it in the dark or in bright sunlight. It’s light, hold a charge for a long time, I can hold tons and tons of books. I take advantage of my libraries offerings for free e-books And can take them wherever I go. Throw it in my purse and I’m a happy camper one piece of advice is to buy a magnetic case, because it’s easy on off just by closing the case. highly recommend couldn’t live without it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Paperwhite ColorSoft's defining feature is its color e-ink display, which minimizes eye strain with a soft white hue. If you want a comfortable e-reading experience with a slight color enhancement, the Kindle Paperwhite ColorSoft would be a compelling choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how dim the screen can get because I’m very guilty of doing late night readings, so I enjoy not straining my eyes. I’ve charged my Kindle Paperwhite once and it has lasted me for a few weeks now. The UI is easy to use but I find the software can lag sometimes or just isn’t instantly responsive. It’s also pretty small so it is easy to travel with if you plan on reading on vacation or on a trip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) has surprised me quite a bit. The durability is excellent, and the fact that it is waterproof adds points. The 7-inch screen has better contrast and you can notice the difference in reading. The battery lasts for weeks without any problem, something that is always appreciated. The storage is more than enough to have thousands of books without worrying. In addition, the improved resolution and page-turning speed (25% faster) make the experience super fluid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Kindle paper white for an honest review. Let me first say thank you to Influencer for giving me a chance to review this item. I love to read and have been contemplating buying a paper white for a while now. I usually just read with the Kindle app on my phone, but my main issue is that when I want to read outside, my phone tends to have a glare or is not bright enough. This is not an issue with the paper white. I absolutely love it. There is no glare, and it is definitely bright enough. It is the perfect size to hold and is very light weight. I love it so much. I went ahead and perched Kindle unlimited. The battery life is amazing. I charged it when I first got it about a month ago, and it's still has 45% battery life. I have read 3 books on it since I got it.I am so happy to have received this, and I will get a lot of use out of it. If you love to read, dont hesitate to buy one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this has a really good size for the screen, and I appreciate the ability to adjust the brightness as well as connect to Bluetooth if needed. I only dislike that there isn't an option to turn the machine off and only turn the screen off. The fact that it's waterproof against splashes/rainfall is a great bonus though so the power aspect is less of an issue and more something that just feels "off" about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In love with my new Kindle Paperwhite! I’m always on the hunt for good books to read, but for some reason never actually reach for my paperbacks. Since receiving this Kindle I’ve already finished one book, and halfway through another! I take it with me to work and read my entire lunch break instead of aimlessly scrolling on the phone. I also find myself wanting to read until I fall asleep like I did years ago. The battery life is extremely impressive so bringing along a charger on the go is not needed. Absolutely would recommend any reader to try the Kindle Paperwhite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this is an amazing kindle. It is JUST a book or audio book which is great because my two year old is electronic obsessed so a way for me to not have my phone out. It also had kiddo settings. It’s a great size, super thin. Hasn’t run out of battery yet. There is a dimming seeing which is a great upgrade from my period kindle fire.
