![]() ![]() Regardless, with battery life measured in weeks and the ability to charge the Kindle to full in as little as two hours, you probably don't need to worry much about battery life no matter which model you get. ![]() Ultimately, how long the Kindle will last on a charge will change depending on your front light and wireless settings, as well as how much you read. This is a nice boost from the previous Kindle’s four weeks under the same conditions, but it still doesn’t match the Paperwhite’s ten weeks. Better Battery LifeĪmazon says the Kindle can last up to six weeks based on half an hour of reading with wireless connectivity disabled and the light set to 13. Depending on where you like to read, this can be the difference that influences your buying decision. The Paperwhite is rated IPX8, which means it can be completely submerged in water and still work. ![]() The Kindle isn't waterproof at all, so you shouldn't read it in the bath, and you should be careful at the beach or by the pool. The other major difference between the Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite is waterproofing. This is only an issue for the front light, though if you plan to read in a well-lit environment with the front light turned off, the Kindle’s screen looks identical to the Paperwhite’s, and gives the impression of very light gray paper. I find the warmer white balance the Paperwhite can produce to be more natural-looking and soothing to the eyes. The Kindle offers only one flavor of white with a relatively cool temperature, though you can dim it to your preference. The Kindle’s screen is front-lit with four LEDs, and doesn’t have any of the customizability of the Paperwhite’s 17-LED, white-temperature-adjustable display. That puts it in line with the Kindle Paperwhite in sharpness, though with a larger screen the Paperwhite has more total pixels. It has a pixel density of 300ppi, almost twice as much as the 2019 Kindle’s 167ppi. The big upgrade here is the E Ink screen. This is a welcome upgrade from the previous Kindle’s dated and finicky micro USB connector. The bottom edge of the Kindle holds a USB-C port for charging and connecting to a computer (a USB-A-to-USB-C cable is included), along with a power button, just like the Paperwhite. This frame, along with the slightly smaller screen, is the most apparent difference between the Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite the Paperwhite's larger 6.8-inch screen is completely flush with the rest of the face, for a more premium look and better resistance against dust and sand. It’s a simple, matte plastic slate (available in black or denim blue no white version like the 2019 Kindle is available) measuring 6.2 by 4.3 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and weighing 5.6 ounces, with a six-inch E Ink screen framed by a raised bezel. The 2022 Kindle looks and feels almost identical to the previous version, but is just a hair smaller and lighter. ![]()
