However, the Paperwhite 5 is really good for those of you that read multiple books a week or are considered serious readers. The screen is also sunken into the bezel, and does not have a layer of glass, so you will not receive any overhead glare from lights or the sun. In the past, I would never recommend this model, however this one is really good with 300 PPI screen, which makes a world of difference. If you are a casual reader, the base model Kindle should suit your fine. So what one should you buy? The All-new Kindle is around $99 and the Paperwhite is $139 for the 8GB and $149 for the 16GB model. Amazon tends to have the exact same reading experience, in terms of features on all modern Kindles. You also get the exact same access to X-Ray, user profiles, fonts, font types, line spacing and margins. It is around 25% faster, so it is not night and day. You only really notice the extra speed if you put them side by side. They have an animated page turn animation, which in conjunction with Carta 1200, makes the pages turn quicker, than the base Kindle. The reading experience is the same, however the Paperwhite provides a slightly better one. While 0.8-inch doesn’t seem like much on paper, the difference is striking when you compare both device side by side, as you can see for yourself in the image below. Other competing brands have a dark mode, but it only applies to the reading experience and is not system wide like the Kindle. The Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen flaunts a 6.8-inch E Ink panel, a step up from the 6-inch screen of the 10th Gen model. System wide dark mode is also important, since you can invert the colors, so the background is black and text is white. The e-reader is offered in three storage variants (16, 32 and 64 GB), is equipped with a USB-C port, and has the asymmetrical look of the Oasis. Both models have Bluetooth, so supported countries can buy and listen to audio content via wireless headphones or earbuds. Kindle Scribe sports the 300 ppi 10.2-inch Paperwhite, glare-free touchscreen display that’s enhanced by both the front and warm light. You get access to the Amazon bookstore and also the Audible audiobook store.

The software experience is the same on both devices. The Paperwhite also has a front-lit display, but also warm lighting too. The extra screen real estate is important, since you can fit more text on the screen.

The screen size is also a big bigger, coming in at 6.8-inches, whereas the Kindle has a 6-inch screen. It is using an E INK Carta 1200 display panel, which increases performance and page turn speed. The Kindle Paperwhite has similar specs to the Kindle, however they have a 8GB model and a 16GB variant, depending on your storage needs. It has a cool lighting system to read in the dark.

The new Kindle has a 300 PPI screen, USB-C and 16GB of internal storage. Many people who like to read digital books tend to gravitate towards the Kindle brand, since its the most well-known and the e-readers are really good, in terms of software and hardware. In the past year Amazon has released two new e-readers, the all-new Kindle Basic and the Kindle Paperwhite.
