Can Kindle Paperwhite Connect to Bluetooth?
Yes, the Kindle Paperwhite can connect to Bluetooth, but this capability is available in specific models only. The Kindle Paperwhite 10th Generation and later versions include Bluetooth support. This feature primarily allows users to connect Bluetooth headphones or speakers, which can be useful for listening to audiobooks or navigating the device with audio support.
How to Use Bluetooth on Kindle Paperwhite

- **Connect to a Device**: Tap on the "Bluetooth" option to turn it on. Then, your Kindle will search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Make sure your Bluetooth headphones or speakers are in pairing mode. Once the Kindle detects them, select the device from the list to pair.
Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connection Issues
- **Restart Devices**: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix connectivity issues. Turn off your Kindle and your Bluetooth device, then turn them back on and try connecting again.
