The 2021 Paperwhites all have USB-C charging, but the Signature supports wireless charging. Still, if you want to save some cash, just clean out your backlog you can remove a book from your device without deleting it entirely from your Amazon account. If you mostly listen to audiobooks, you may want to go for the Signature, since those tend to take up more room.
That's a big difference, but you can still read and store a lot of books with 8 gigabytes (around 5,000). The Signature has 32 gigabytes of storage and the Standard has 8 gigs. Its faster page-turn rate means there's no delay while you read. The screens are brighter overall at their max and have adjustable warm lighting, but only the Signature can auto-adjust that brightness to your surroundings-we think that should be standard across all models. We tried the Signature Edition ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends), but all three have bigger, 6.8-inch screens with smaller bezels. The step-up, waterproof e-reader went from one to three models, and they rival the more expensive Oasis. The coffee caramel bonbons, featuring Taiwanese coffee beans, are shaped like a coffee cup with cracks and gold dust to evoke the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery known as kintsugi ($42 for 12-piece box).We think most people will like the Paperwhites the best. Formosa’s artistic bonbons combine flavors such as blood orange and Speculoos for a warmly spiced riff on the crisp cookies. The outfit uses single-origin chocolate as a base with tropical, Filipino-inspired flavors like mango lemongrass and the calamansi, a tiny green citrus ($23.50 for Lucky Nine Truffle Box $41.95 for 16-piece Holiday Gems Collection). Or check out the intricately patterned truffles at San Francisco’s Kokak Chocolates. The matcha strawberry chocolate bar ($12), with its bright green and red color scheme, is a particularly appropriate stocking stuffer. In Los Gatos, Deux Cranes crafts visually striking, Japanese-influenced geometric bars. New small-batch chocolate makers are continuing to set up shop in the Bay Area, with several specializing in Asian-inspired flavors.

While wine critic Esther Mobley has several favorites for this type of fortified wine, an aperitif made from heirloom rose petals feels like a particularly romantic gift to give this season. Also buzzing this year: sunny and breezy aperitifs, which have taken off in sales after wineries rebranded vermouth into chicly designed bottles. Get a bagel in a custom shape - a letter or number - for the bagel fanatic in your life. Bagel lovers may have heard that Berkeley’s Boichik makes some of the best bagels in the country (yes, country) after a controversial stance from the New York Times. They also reflect the best of what’s been happening in the Bay Area’s food and drink world this year. Find high-end, carefully sourced mezcals or a nutty, spicy salsa macha from new Nob Hill shop Tahona Mercado, or pick up chocolate from one of several new-wave producers, including artistically designed treats with Japanese influences that taste as stunning as they look.īut all these options are not just from local creators.
