I've never felt the need for the Oasis, though, but that's as much about the curious form factor as anything else. If I'm going to spend a lot of time with this thing in my hand, anything that makes the experience better seems like money well spent. I'm particularly interested in this Kindle as I've always opted for the higher-end models, mostly because of that front-light. If it's important to you, you'll definitely want the Paperwhite, which has had waterproofing since the latest model came out back in November. Waterproofing is definitely a big "nice to have," but for the amount of time I spend reading near water, I personally can live without it. That's not a feature shared with the new budget model. The Paperwhite's flush screen serves another practical purpose: waterproofing. Perhaps the lack of muscle memory for the extra millimeter or two my finger needs to travel to hit the recessed screen is causing it? Hard to say. This might be how I am holding it, or the slight change in weight and dimensions, but I have noticed it enough to mention it. The other thing, based on my testing so far, is that I often have to tap twice to turn a page, as my first try isn't recognized. In a similar vein, some might prefer physical page turn buttons, but those folks are out of luck here. I've never had that problem, though, so the presence of a lint trap here is a small grumble. That said, I can see that some might find that a flush screen means it's also easier to accidentally rest your thumb on the display, causing unwanted page turns. A small detail, but one that prevents lint, dust and small hairs getting trapped in the lip where the screen meets the bezel. One of the more underrated aspects of the latest Paperwhite screen is how it sits flush with the bezels. There are two things about the display here that I'm less thrilled about. Spot the difference?Īs for that contrast, I almost think the cheaper Kindle goes toe to toe with the Paperwhite, though I always found the "white" in Paper white to be more like "Paper-a bit less gray." I keep checking the two next to each other on the same page of the same book, and while there is a difference, it's not significant in my opinion. And given that reading is mostly just text, this lower resolution might not bother you much, if at all.

But once you open a book to a full page of text (i.e., when you're actually reading), the difference in sharpness is less obvious.

Other tells include when you download something, and the spinning circle in the corner pops up it's much "smoother" on the Paperwhite. The small images of book covers show less detail on the new budget model than the Paperwhite. When I compared the home screens of a current Paperwhite to the All-New Kindle, the difference in quality is visible. Of course, the pixel density is lower (the current Paperwhite offers 300ppi), but depending on what you like to read (or rather, how graphical it is), I don't know how much that will matter. The E-ink panel used is similar to that in earlier Paperwhites (E-Ink Carta 1.2 for those asking). The screen density remains the same as the previous model at 167ppi, but the contrast is much better than on older models. Also, I find the proportion of the bezels around the display less attractive on the Paperwhite, but that's entirely subjective. The size difference is more noticeable when you place it beside the Paperwhite. Despite the sleeker footprint, it gains a little weight - an additional 13g, or just under half an ounce. (No "Amazon" text, but the trademark smile/arrow remains.) The device is also slightly smaller than the model it replaces, by about 2mm (barely 1/8th of an inch) in both depth and width. Amazon gave the latest Kindle a modest redesign, even if that's mostly a matter of smoother edges and a different logo embossed on the back. Of course, that's not all that's new here. Since then, those LEDs have likely been the main reason to make the leap from the budget model to the Paperwhite. In fact, for about five years after the first one, all Kindle owners were consigned to squinting when the lights went down - that is until the Paperwhite arrived in 2012 with its four LEDs in tow. There was a time when even the premium Kindle meant reaching for the reading light (much as I loved my Kindle Keyboard, I also like reading at night). The big news here is clearly that illuminated display.
