In October 2024, Amazon refreshed its entire Kindle range, with a new entry-level Kindle, a new Paperwhite, the new Kindle Colorsoft and an updated Kindle Scribe. On one hand that means that there are new devices to choose from, but on the other, making a decision is a little harder.
The article from Express.co.uk compares the Amazon Kindle (2022) with the Kindle Paperwhite, detailing their features, design, and performance to help consumers decide which e-reader suits their needs. The standard Kindle is described as a budget-friendly option with a 6-inch display, 300ppi resolution, and a front light, but it lacks the waterproofing and adjustable warm light found in the Paperwhite. The Kindle Paperwhite, on the other hand, offers a larger 6.8-inch display, waterproofing, and an adjustable warm light for better reading comfort in various lighting conditions. Both devices support USB-C charging, but the Paperwhite provides a more premium experience with its higher resolution, flush-front design, and additional features like a longer battery life and more storage options. The choice between them largely depends on whether one values the enhanced features and durability of the Paperwhite or prefers the more affordable, yet still competent, standard Kindle.
