The current Kindles have similar baseline features, including a glare-free display with 300 ppi resolution, adjustable brightness, Wi-Fi connectivity, and weeks of battery life. There’s also Bluetooth connectivity to listen to audiobooks via wireless headphones. However, diving deeper reveals key differences between the models, from water resistance to storage and to screen design.
Display size: There are three display sizes. For ultimate portability and one-handed reading, the six-inch Kindle is the perfect travel companion. For a slightly bigger screen without sacrificing portability, the 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition fit the bill. And for those who prioritize a large screen, the 10.2-inch Kindle Scribe provides ample room for reading and writing.
Storage space: Storage options range from 16GB to 64GB, depending on the model you choose. E-books are tiny, so storage space isn’t a major concern if all you plan to do is read. However, audiobooks can take up a lot more space. If you enjoy audiobooks and have an Audible subscription, consider a Kindle with more storage (32GB or 64GB).
Lighting: The level of front-light brightness to enhance your reading experience in different environments varies. The most basic Kindle uses 4 LEDs, while the Kindle Scribe’s larger display boasts 35. More LEDs can improve screen visibility, especially outdoors in bright sunlight. More importantly, higher-end models, like the Paperwhite and Scribe, elevate your comfort with an adjustable warm light. The feature lets you switch between a cool white and a warm orange hue.
