All-New Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) – Fastest Kindle Ever with 7" Glare-Free Display & Long Battery Life – Black – Perfect for Reading at Home, Travel, and Outdoor Adventures

I recently purchased the Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation (2024) because I want to read more actual books (vs. articles and work material). This Kindle replaces two of the basic versions from the past few years that I honestly rarely/never used because the visuals were grey and slow-moving.No longer! The Kindle Paperwhite is superior in every way. Wait for sale or take the 20% trade-in if you already have a Kindle. I also found that if you return to Amazon to look at the item several times it may magically go on sale!The new Paperwhite is comfortable to hold, the "pages" turn at amazing speed, the usual font sizing options are there, as well as the adjustable warm light which is really the key for eye comfort for me. The clarity of the text is far, far better than on the basic Kindle, really noticeable. It's easier to highlight text and make notations than on the basic Kindle models, too.If you're on the fence between the basic Kindle and the Paperwhite, try to get the Paperwhite. The reading experience is measurably better.I suggest getting a cover because the Paperwhite, like the rest of the Kindle family, is thin and very portable, but needs the protection of a firm cover, imo. If you do take advantage of the 20% trade-in or other offers, be sure to follow-up to be sure the discounts hit your account. It can take a little time but it's a good option.
