![]() ![]() One more thing that I started to notice was that my old Kindle took several seconds to load from its slumber. Both the latest Paperwhite (at 6.4 oz) and the Oasis (at 6.6 oz) weighed less than my old Kindle. At 7.8 oz, without any cover, it was kind of uncomfortable to hold it for extended periods with one hand while lying down reading. My primary reason for the upgrade was the weight of my old Kindle Paperwhite. I couldn't decide between the two models. I debated (with myself) about why I should upgrade my Kindle Paperwhite (6th Gen) with either the newest Kindle Paperwhite (10th Gen) or the latest Oasis 3. You may or may not receive a reason.Ī complete and up to date list of rules is available on the new Reddit view Failing to do so will end up on your post being removed and/or your account banned.

The new 2019 Kindle is perfect for people who liked the old Kindle but wish it had a built-in adjustable front light like more advanced Kindle models do. So why the difference? Blame the new backlight, which sucks up the juice. The 2019 Kindle only lasts 4 weeks based on 30 minutes reading a day. The 2016 Kindle actually has a longer battery life, with Amazon saying it lasts 6 weeks based on 30 minutes reading a day. Where they differ is in their battery life. ![]() So if you opt for the cheaper “special offers” version you’ll see ads pop up on your home screen.īoth Kindles also offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. “Special offers” is Amazon’s code for “ads”. And both Kindles come in two flavors: one with “special offers” and one without. ![]() Storage on both Kindles is the same at 4GB-enough for thousands of books even after 1GB of that storage is already taken up by the OS. Kindle (2016): Battery, Storage, and Connectivity The front light takes the form of 4 LED lights. The difference comes from the new 2019 Kindle having a built-in adjustable front light, which makes reading the Kindle easier both indoors and outdoors. When it comes to similarities, both feature a 6in display with Amazon’s E Ink Pearl technology at 167 ppm and with 16-level grayscale. The new entry-level 2019 Kindle and the 2016 Kindle do have similar displays-but not totally identical. Of course, perhaps the most important thing about an e-reader is the display. But overall, you won’t tell much of a difference between the two devices based on looks alone. We are mainly attributing that to the 4 LED lights now found in its display (more on that in a bit). The 2019 Kindle is actually a little heavier than the 2016 Kindle, despite it being a thinner device. The 2019 Kindle measures 160 mm x 113 mm x 8.7 mm while the 2016 Kindle comes in a bit bigger at 160 mm x 115 mm x 9.1 mm.Īnother difference is the weight.
