Convert to new Kindle Paperwhite 2021
Hello!,
I want to convert a book to the new Kindle Paperwhite 2021, but I cannot find it in the list, I can't neither find a device with its resolution 1246 x 1648.

Should I wait for an update, or I can custom the resolution?

Best regards

Just pick an output profile with a larger size, such as the Kindle Oasis one. And where did you get those pixel size numbers from?

Just pick tablet as an output profile. Tablet means the images will not be resized.

The new Kindle Paperwhites have a 300 DPI 6.8" diagonal screen so they get more pixels than the older Paperwhite 6" diagonal screen.

Assuming a 3x4 screen ratio, 6.8" diagonal and 300 PPI, this would give 1224x1632 pixel count.

If my library was converted for Paperwhite 3, should I re-convert everything for my new Paperwhite, or will I not notice the difference?

Unless you have lots of images and maps in your books, you won't notice the difference. Ordinary text is the same.

Use the Kindle Oasis profile, its size is 1264x1680 which is sufficient. Using tablet will prevent some kindle specific features, especially for news downloads.
