TechRadar

Snappier interface means faster menus and smoother zooming
The best e-reader if you buy books from Amazon

Design feels out-of-date and cheap, lacks buttons
Once you see the Kindle Colorsoft, it?s hard to go black and white

The Verge

The best-looking screen on any e-reader
Slightly larger screen without a noticeably larger device
Faster page turns, loading, and a more responsive UI
A splash of color (without a color screen)

Upgrades aren?t as significant as the last Paperwhite
Lacks stylus support and page turn buttons
Signature Edition wireless charging is frustrating without magnets
Signature Edition back panel feels less grippy
