I'm seeing multiple reddit posts and TikTok videos showing the new 2024 to be a lot warmer than the 2021 even with warmth set to 0.

My Paperwhite 2024 doesn't have the Bluetooth pairing option... Why? 😢

My Kobo is still faster, has color, better price, quality build, and again, faster.

it's not worth an extra $40 for me to get the signature version

169€ for that kind of device is a joke.

How about a burned image? I have tried that refresh option and it is still there.

Tough sell for Signature and you sound to sell it too hard for the viewers.

The screen has frozen. I have 2 books on it and haven't even had a chance to use it. No matter what I do, it won't unfreeze. What a huge waste of money

I had no idea they had add and no add versions. That is pure evil.

The metallic finish is still plastic and rubbery, why do you make it sound like it feels hugely different?
@darkfeign on YouTube
it's more like "Paperyellow" and it's even more yellow at the bottom and in some areas the sharpness is washed out... Awful quality control.. Dissapointed.
