Thinner bezels and a larger 6.8in screen means more words per page, and it's noticeably nippier than the previous generation too, booting up and loading the Kindle store faster than ever. Each one has access to the same Amazon store for books, which offers a huge array of reasonably priced books and magazines.Ģ021 saw the fifth generation of Kindle Paperwhite introduced, and while it's not as significant a step forward as the fourth, the all-new e-reader has enough new features to be an appealing choice to newcomers and those looking to upgrade.
The Kindle Paperwhite sits between the two, but there are multiple configurations for each model as well. The most expensive model is the Kindle Oasis 32GB with Wi-Fi and 4G, which will set you back £320. The cheapest Kindle is the 6in touchscreen model, first introduced in 2016, which is available from £70 and has recently been updated with a built-in front light under the screen.
These days, however, the choice of Kindles is more complicated – there are three different models at three very different prices.
There were two models: Amazon's Wi-Fi Kindle and the 3G-enabled Kindle, and they were effectively identical aside from offering different levels of connectivity. In the beginning, buying a Kindle was a simple job.
