The Amazon Kindle starts at £69.99 / $89.99, but that’s a version with adverts on the lock screen. The Paperwhite is substantially more expensive. Most other things are similar or the same, including their software and battery life, with both models offering weeks of life on a single charge with typical usage.
The other major difference is that as well as Wi-Fi you can get the Kindle Paperwhite in a Wi-Fi and cellular flavor (with free 3G and 4G connectivity), whereas the basic Kindle only supports Wi-Fi.įor most people this again shouldn’t be a big deal, but cellular data does mean you can buy and download books any time, anywhere, whereas you’re a bit more limited with just Wi-Fi. That’s a feature both ereaders support, but it’s far more viable on the Paperwhite - though arguably a smartphone is a better choice for this than either of them. However, the storage space becomes more of a concern if you plan to listen to audiobooks through Audible.
This needn’t be a major problem, since ebook files are usually tiny and if you’re buying from Amazon they can be stored in the cloud when you’re not actively reading them anyway. The first is that the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite comes with far more storage, as you can get it with 8GB or 32GB, while the basic Amazon Kindle only comes with 4GB. There are two main differences in the specs of these ereaders.
