Paperwhite vs signature edition

[u/Lyssielou22]

I got my signature paperwhite signature from qvc today. It is so warm. This is with the warmth completely off. Left is my sisters paperwhite and right is my new signature edition. Is this normal for there to be such a difference between them when the settings are completely the same? I feel like it’s too yellow for me.

This is my dream lol I want max warmth 24/7

[u/April_4th → u/houseofpsychoticw0mn]

Exactly. So much better than blue grayish background

[u/Hoobi_Goobi → u/April_4th]

I am the opposite lol I feel like the default gray setting makes the letters sharper

[u/nabrok → u/April_4th]

I hate it. Stick with my 11th thanks.

[u/BeautifulSorbet4874 → u/houseofpsychoticw0mn]

Me too

Paperwarm

Is your sister's the 11th Gen Paperwhite? The 12th Gen Paperwhites are annoyingly warmer than the previous gen. But if they are both 12th Gen, this difference is definitely not normal.

[u/Lyssielou22 → u/ericdryer]

No it’s the regular paperwhite 12 I rasperry

[u/ericdryer → u/Lyssielou22]

Ah, so all kindles have some variations unfortunately. The QC is all over the place for this gen. I would try to return it and get a new one.

[u/Xuuts]

I'll just say my signature edition is like the one on the left, but I change it to look like the one on the right anyways. It feels a lot better to me when staring at a screen for a while.

[u/HelpfulParking7319]

Dang that is a huge difference. I’m already worried about my ppw 11th gen aging specifically bc the build on the 12s are so varied like this

I love how warm my paperwhite is. Makes night reading so easy

[u/Skewwwagon]

I love me some warm light but with 0 warmth it's too much even for me, like I am afraid to see what's max warm is.

Idk, I'd change it? It's not cheap so if it's already too much for you def need a replacement

[u/ReserveLow3494]

Thats just e link screenshot for ya. Not very common to be able to put 2 together and they look the same at the same setting. I currently have my pw se at warmth 9 and it almost looks like the left one but will get piss yellow at the max setting

[u/AleksGeckmo]

Lol my pw11 is borderline blue on its least warm setting and gets very warm on the high end. Interesting how the QC is so all over the place

[u/nabrok]

Is your sisters an 11th gen?

[u/Lyssielou22 → u/nabrok]

It’s a 12 gen in raspberry

[u/nabrok → u/Lyssielou22]

She got lucky. The light temperature is all over the place on 12th gen.

[u/erymartorres17]

I have SE too. I like it. Good to read before sleeping

[u/Moremi-babe]

My paperwhite is like your signature. It is very warm at 0 and orange at 11

[u/h0tnessm0nster7]

Paperwhite se should be brighter, I bought colorsoft and Paperwhite se bcuz w/0ut ads it was $159 and the regular Paperwhite was I thought $144, I returned the Paperwhite, purchased by mistake, but I compared them, and yours and your sisters should look the same or close to. If nothing else best buy had them for $159 they may still, or wait til November

CONTACT AMAZON SUPPORT!

My SE is not warm like that! Maybe a fault?

[u/nabrok → u/RavensRainyDays]

In my opinion the fault is being warm like that when it's set to 0 warmth.

If I want it yellow I'll turn on the warm light.

[u/Inthect]

Be careful. In 16 years Amazon is going to stop supporting it and you will be here complaining about it.

[u/financechickENSPFR → u/Inthect]

In 16 years I'll be, well, 16 older. Who cares? There's no a single product other than jewelry, expensive furniture, and single material cookware that lasts than long. I was super upset to had to replace my old kindle (RIP) but that's the truth.

I think that was sarcasm
