How Amazon's new Kindle Paperwhite e-reader compares to the old one
PCWorld
|December 2021
Amazon’s latest revamp of its mid-tier e-reader is out now. Here’s what you get compared to the previous version.
Our pick for the best Kindle (fave. co/3cc10wH) just got an overhaul. The Kindle Paperwhite now sports a larger screen, faster hardware, longer battery life, and the addition of an amber tone for the front light as new standout features, and that’s just the headliners. (Fans of the USB-C connector can rest easy at last.)
But the new Paperwhite (fave.co/3DmaC3H) also costs more, especially if you want the version with more storage. To make it easier to decide if you want to upgrade (or which version you want if you see the 2018 edition [fave.co/3kCHRsa] on sale), we’ve highlighted the key differences for you, along with putting the full specifications for each side by side.
KEY DIFFERENCES Size
The 2021 model of the Paperwhite is larger than the 2018 version. It’s about a quarter inch (7mm) taller and wider. It does remain about the same thickness, though.
