More and more Kindle fans are waiting for the new generation of Amazon’s most popular e-reader model – the Paperwhite.
The current model is already two years old, and – having in mind its price level – a replacement combined with upgrade is more than needed.
Kindle Paperwhite 5 – what we know so far
It will most probably be released next year
Amazon is putting more stress on Alexa-powered devices. Introducing the new Kindle, especially the model with a bunch of considerable improvements, is a huge cost.
The demand for the current model is still high. It was not available before Prime Day. Now, some versions will be back on stock just for Black Friday.
It should feature adjustable warm light
The next model should feature a major improvement. The most sought after feature is adjustable warm light.
Warm light is offered only by Kindle Oasis 3, but competitors have it already for a long time.
Amazon will have to add the feature to a middle range model to remain the leading brand in the e-reader industry.
Adjustable warm light is a feature that lets you reduce blue light tones in the evening. Warm light will help reduce eye strain and prevent problems with sleep.
Other things we expect to see
With the growing interest in audiobooks, we could see bigger storage options. 8 GB may be kept but the bigger storage variant may be set at 64 GB.
The full Amazon logo may be replaced by Amazon smile icon, the way it’s used on the 2019 basic Kindle.
The current shape is more than enough to fit the new warm light technology, so we don’t expect to see any essential improvements.
We don’t expect to see the white version. With the warm & orange front light, the white bezel may look ugly.
It would be great to see the white Kindle Paperwhite, but the color may be used only on the back.

Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus, and Sharpen Your Creative Mind
by 99U & Jocelyn K. Glei
Preface
The world we work in today is not the world of Michelangelo, of Marie Curie, of Ernest Hemingway, or even of Paul Rand. It is a new world, empowered and entranced by the rapid-fire introduction of new technologies—a world where our metaphysical front door is always open, where anyone can whisper in our ear, where a “room of one’s own” no longer means you’re all alone.
Creative minds are exceedingly sensitive to the buzz and whir of the world around them, and we now have to contend with a constant stream of chirps, pings, and alerts at all hours of the day. As these urgent demands tug us this way and that, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a centered space for creativity.
Taking stock of this challenging new landscape, 99U’s Manage Your Day-to-Day assembles insights around four key skill sets you must master to succeed: building a rock-solid daily routine, taming your tools (before they tame you), finding focus in a distracted world, and sharpening your creative mind.
Dedicating a chapter to each of these focus areas, we invited a group of seasoned thought leaders and creatives—Seth Godin, Stefan Sagmeister, Tony Schwartz, Gretchen Rubin, Dan Ariely, Linda Stone, Steven Pressfield, and others—to share their expertise. Our goal was to come at the problems and struggles of this new world of work from as many angles as possible.
Because we each have a unique set of strengths, weaknesses, and sensitivities, it is impossible to prescribe a single approach that will work for everyone. The right solution for you will always be personal—an idiosyncratic combination of strategies based on your own work demands, habits, and preferences.
Technology is a word that describes somethingthat doesn’t work yet.
