Q: Does this Kindle version have text to speech option? In other words, will it read out loud as the reader reads a book?

submitted by Maria - 6 days ago
  • A: Hi Maria! Yes, current-generation Kindle Paperwhite devices (11th gen and newer) have a text-to-speech (TTS) option called Assistive Reader that reads text aloud and highlights the words as you read. I hope this answers your question!

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) Yes, the Kindle Paperwhite (including the 2024 model) does have a text-to-speech option, but it is accessed through an accessibility feature called VoiceView.

Q: Can you plug Ina micro card for more memory space?

submitted by Paula - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi Paula! No, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) does not have a micro SD card slot for expandable memory. The device comes with fixed internal storage options of either 16 GB or 32 GB, and there is no way to expand the storage capacity with a memory card. Unlike some older Kindle models that had micro SD card slots, the current generation Kindle Paperwhite and other recent Kindle e-readers no longer support expandable storage. When you purchase the device, you'll need to choose the storage capacity that best fits your needs, as you cannot add more storage later. For reference, the 16 GB model can hold thousands of e-books (a typical e-book is around 2-5 MB), while the 32 GB model provides even more space, which is particularly useful if you plan to store audiobooks, graphic novels, or manga that require more storage space. Hope this helps and have a great day!

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) This Kindle Paperwhite does not have expandable storage. Current Kindle models do not include a microSD card slot or any other way to physically expand the internal storage. Instead, Amazon offers different models with different amounts of internal storage. The Standard Kindle Paperwhite (2024) comes with 16 GB of internal storage and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024) includes 32 GB of internal storage. Keep in mind that all books and content purchased through Amazon are stored for free in your Amazon Cloud (Kindle Library). You can download and remove books from your device as needed to free up space, as they will always be available in the Cloud. The internal storage is primarily necessary if you plan to keep a large library of audiobooks (which are very large files) or manga/graphic novels (which are large image files) downloaded simultaneously. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Am I able to transfer books from the kindle app on my iPad to the paper white?

submitted by Paula - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi Paula! Once you set up the Kindle Paperwhite by signing in with your Amazon account, all of the books in your Kindle Library will be available to download. Not only that, but Whisper-sync will make sure that you never lose your place by keeping track of where you are in a book no matter what device you're using! Just make sure the devices are all connected to WiFi so they can share your progress. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

    submitted byAmazon Devices Customer Support - 1 month ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) Kindle books are stored in your personal Amazon Kindle Cloud Library, not on the Kindle app itself. To get your books onto your new Kindle Paperwhite, you just need to ensure both devices are linked to the same Amazon account. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can I use any usb-c wall charger for this or must I purchase a kindle one?

submitted by totomama - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello totomama and thank you for your question! The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite does not need a specific USB-C wall charger as long as it provides 5V of output. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

    submitted byAmazon Devices Customer Support - 2 months ago

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) Yes, your 2024 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite can use a standard USB-C charger, though it's important the charger is compatible with the Kindle's power needs, typically a 5V output, to ensure it charges safely and efficiently. You can use a USB-C wall adapter or even charge it by plugging the USB-C cable into a computer with a USB-C port. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Does this capable of playing audiobooks? Can I transfer my current kindle books to this ?

submitted by Wendy - 3 months ago
  • A: Hello Wendy, thank you for your question. Yes, an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite can play audiobooks purchased from Audible or included in a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but it requires Bluetooth headphones or a speaker. You can transfer your current kindle books by setting it up with your existing kindle account. I hope that helps, have a great day!

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) Yes, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) plays audiobooks, but you must use a Bluetooth-enabled headset or speaker for audio output, as it lacks a built-in speaker or headphone jack.

Q: can you play games on the e reader

submitted by Kathy - 3 months ago
  • A: Hello Kathy and thank you for asking this question. There are currently no games available for Kindle e-readers, however there are thousands available on Fire tablets, which can also access the Kindle library. I hope this answers your question and that you have a great day.

    submitted byAmazon Devices Customer Support - 3 months ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024). Kindle e-readers, including the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024), are designed primarily for reading. They use an e-ink display, which is excellent for text but has a slow refresh rate and is grayscale, making it a poor choice for most games. Amazon stopped officially supporting games and apps (known as "Active Content") on its e-readers many years ago. The Kindle Store no longer has a dedicated section for these. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Is this compatible with hoopla?

submitted by Jenn3 - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi Jenn3, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) The Kindle Paperwhite is not directly compatible with the Hoopla app. Hoopla is an app-based service: It requires a dedicated application to access its content, however this is an e-ink e-reader and does not support installing apps. They are designed primarily for reading eBooks from the Kindle Store or sideloaded in compatible formats.   If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 2 months ago
    Hi Gary! Thank you for sharing your feedback about your Kindle Paperwhite screen discoloration issue. I understand your frustration with both the device problem and the store experience. Warranty service and technical support can be handled directly through Amazon. Since this appears to be a hardware issue, the best solution is to contact Amazon Customer Support directly at 1-888-280-4331. They are available 24/7 and can check your warranty status, process a replacement if covered (typically at no cost within the 1-year warranty period), or explain your options if out of warranty. In the meantime, you can try some quick troubleshooting steps like restarting your device by holding the power button for 40 seconds, checking for software updates, or adjusting your screen brightness and warmth settings. For the fastest resolution, I recommend reaching out to Amazon Device Support directly, as they have specialized training for Kindle issues and can provide the most appropriate solution for your specific situation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I hope this information helps you get your Kindle screen issue resolved quickly.

    planned obsolesence after 7 years it died

    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 2 months ago
    Hi! Thank you for sharing your concerning experience with the Kindle Paperwhite and subsequent customer service interaction. I sincerely apologize for the loss of access to your books and the frustrating response you received. I want to clarify that your purchased Kindle books are not actually lost - they remain permanently accessible in your Amazon account library, even if your device fails. You can access these books through the free Kindle app on any smartphone, tablet, or computer, or through the Amazon Cloud Reader in your web browser at read.amazon.com. While electronic devices do eventually fail, a Paperwhite should ideally last longer than 7 years with proper care. If you're still interested in resolving the original device issue, you could try these steps: perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 40 seconds, then check if the battery will hold a charge using different cables and power sources. Sometimes what appears to be complete failure can be resolved through these methods. If you'd like further assistance recovering access to your books or addressing the device issues, please contact Amazon Customer Service at 1-888-280-4331 and specifically request to speak with the Kindle Technical Support team, who are better equipped to handle device troubleshooting rather than sales. Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. Thank you for your feedback. I hope this information is useful.

    Dear KTMaz, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Kindle Paperwhite! We're glad to hear the backlight feature is enhancing your reading experience, especially for those cozy bedtime reading sessions. It's one of our most popular features, along with being straightforward to use - just as reading should be! If you haven't tried it yet, you might also enjoy adjusting the warmth of the backlight for even more comfortable nighttime reading.
