I have used TCL NXTPaper Tab 10 as my e-reader for about half year. Immediately after switching to the tablet, I passed my 2018 Kindle Pepperwite (10th generation) to my daughter and my 2020 iPad to my husband. Then i tried the latest Kindle Pepperwight Signature EditionAnd I am not sure I can leave it.

The TCL tablet offers full-colored, colored paper and black-and-white paper mode, which gives you full experience of a tablet and an e-reader. I think I can turn on the pages and navigate the Kindle app on TCL quickly on a smartphone or a tablet, while still looking like an e-reader and is still a shame to its slow, six-year-old Kindle.
When Amazon last unveiled its new Kindle lineup, I fell like a ripe coconut on a linen beach for this. I have been a kindle user for a good 14 years, religiously read to give air before bed at every night. While a new kindle may not look exciting given the simplicity of the device, the 2024 lineup of the Kindle is Amazon’s largest upgrade in the years, which first offers a full-colored kindle and the fastest page changes yet.
Although TCL NXTPaper Tablet has many benefits, Kindle Pepperwight SE has many major advantages that have reached me more than TCL. The most important thing is that the new kindle pappervit weighs only 7.5 ounces and has a seven -inch performance compared to my tablet. This makes it easier to hold the kindle in one hand, something that I struggled with 10-inch, 16.9-oz TCL tablet.
No one wants to take around the book 1LB, especially if you read for a long time and prefer to hold your e-read in one hand.
Size and weight on one side, Kindle Peppervit SE has battery life up to 12 weeks on a charge. It is based on light settings on half an hour and 13 per day with wireless off, so your mileage may be different.

My TCL tablet, in turn, provides about 20 hours, which is impressive for a tablet. I charge it once a week and study each night for about an hour.
I have been using Kindle Papervhet for about two weeks and do not need to be charged after the initial fee. It is very specific for a kindle; My 10th generation kindle paperweight lasted for about three weeks, reading for just one hour in a day with backlight.
After reading a two -week daily on the same charge, a few days a day, my kindle paperwite battery is still 32%. According to Amazon, the kindle paperweight can last about 42 hours after reading with brightness on 13.
Also: Why do I use this cheap Android Tablet more than my iPad Pro – and it does not regret it
Given that I have studied about 29.5 hours in the last two weeks, and the battery is at 32%, the estimates look very accurate.
In addition to a long battery life, the fastest page twist I have seen on a kindle, and the benefits of a mild, compact e-reader, also the advantage of having a dedicated, distraught-free reading device to the kindle paperwite SE.
The Signature Edition also has 32GB storage and support for wireless charging.
