The basic Amazon Kindle’s older version from 2016 also comes in ad-supported and ad-free versions. If you find them distracting, you can remove ads later by paying a small fee. Ad-supported Kindles will cost even less than their regular version. It comes in two versions, ad-free and ad-supported. However, the biggest selling point of this model is its price. Unlike the Paperwhite and the Oasis, it’s not waterproof either. This basic model comes with a weaker battery-it will last about four weeks before you need to charge it-and 8GB of space for your e-books.

The device also comes with a front-lighting option, but color temperature adjustment is unavailable. The Amazon Kindle 10 has a PPI density of 167, which means a less crisp image. The smaller display, unfortunately, also comes with a lower PPI density. It can easily fit into your pocket and won’t tire your hand even when holding it for a long time. With a 6-inch display and smaller dimensions overall, it’s also the lightest current Kindle, weighing just 170 grams. The 10th generation Amazon Kindle is the smallest of the bunch. This affordable model will also do the job for someone who just wants to read and doesn’t care about fancy features. The 10th generation of this e-reader may be simpler than the previously described models, but it’s still a force to reckon with. Kindle’s most basic entry-level model got its latest update in April 2019. Therefore, if you like to read in low-light settings, color temperature adjustment makes the Kindle Paperwhite 5 a preferable choice. However, many are still concerned about the effect of blue light the LEDs emit. The e-ink technology, in combination with front lighting, causes less eye fatigue than a backlit screen. While a Kindle is perfectly usable in most situations, even without front lighting, this option makes it even more versatile. However, color temperature adjustment had been limited to the higher-end Oasis model until 2021. Since the ninth generation, the front lighting has been a feature of all Kindle models. While the PPI density of the screen remained unchanged (300 DPI), the enlarged screen surface and the slimmer border give this model a sleeker look.Īnother significant display modification that elevates the Paperwhite 5 is the introduction of color temperature. From the standard 6-inch display, the Paperwhite received an upgrade to 6.8 inches. The most noticeable difference between the newest Paperwhite and its older 2018 version is its size. The fifth generation of this mid-range model came out in October 2021.
