The screen on the Paperwhite is excellent, but not a reason to upgrade if you have any Paperwhite or Oasis that has been sold in the past five years. The operating system and user interface, updated for all devices, are easier to use, so again it is a pro, but not a reason to update.

There’s only one ad-supported version now, and one 32GB version, and a misunderstood kids version that most people will likely ignore. And I upgraded again and again, owning, or at least using, almost every kindle model that has been released.They all have glass substrates, and that’s why the kids version is better to get because it comes with the upgraded 2-year worry-free guarantee where they will replace it for free if it breaks or the screen gets cracked, unlike the regular Kindle warranty where you’re out of luck if the screen breaks.

Finally, the battery has been good and continues to be excellent; if your battery lasts for a week under normal usage, I would not upgrade. I also love how easy it is to remove the magnetic case if I want to just have a really light device in hand. That being said, I do find myself reading in a recliner, resting the kindle on my stomach or the arm’s chair. The more rectangular design of the Paperwhite prioritizes the screen instead of page turn buttons and space to hold the device one-handed.If you have any Paperwhite or Oasis from 2015 or later, you have an excellent screen, and the current technology of the eink display cannot really give you a better one. I like the warm light and the auto light sensor, which is why I sprang for the Kindle Paperwhite Signature. if I trade that in, will I get another gift card and an additional 20% off a new Kindle— in other words will I get a 40% discount on a new one? The ability to shift the warmth of the light from a colder blue to a warmer yellow is nice, but fundamentally, these are minor differences. And as much as I would love the warm frontlight, if I have to replace it, I’ll take advantage of the clearance sale instead of the new model.

But the additional screen real estate means that I no longer can fit it in as many pockets as I could with my 2015 Oasis, which is much smaller. Have to admit, my eyes are not stressed at all reading with this screen, unlike with my regular tablet or ipad. Finally, I don’t see a purpose of wireless charging or more than 8 GB of storage unless you like to keep many audiobooks downloaded. I’m really used to the buttons, and I’d miss them on another device, but for me the really stand-out feature is the origami case. The Paperwhite is also a fingerprint magnet, although part of that is that it is more grip-able than the Oasis.

I can tell that there is a faster processor, and the common delay when using the keyboard is significantly less.
