Paperwhite 5 comes with the 6.8-inch and Oasis the 7-inch touchscreen. The 2022 Kindle is now the only Amazon e-reader that sports the 6-inch display.

What’s your choice? Kindle 11 has the similar display as Paperwhite 4 You can get Kindle Paperwhite 5 16 GB for $149.99 or you can get Kindle 11 for $99.99. Amazon added the 16 GB Paperwhite 5 variant at the time of announcing the new basic Kindle in September 2022. It’s worth noting that at launch Kindle Paperwhite 5 (Regular) was available only with 8 GB memory. Instead of 30-40 full-length audiobooks in the 8 GB Paperwhite 5, you can have 60-80 of them ready to be played any time. Space matters, however, if you want to use your Kindle as an audiobook player. Will you ever be able to load your e-reader with thousands and thousands of ebooks? I doubt so. System files take about 2 GB, so about 14 GB will be available for you. The new base Kindle model comes with 16 GB memory as a standard. It’s enough to store thousands of text-only books or some 30-40 Audible audiobooks. Approximately 6 GB is available for the user. The cheapest version of Kindle Paperwhite 5 costs $139.99 and comes with only 8 GB of internal memory. Kindle 11 has twice as memory as Paperwhite 5 I believe Amazon will keep the price of the most affordable variant of the basic Kindle under $100. $100 is a level that would prevent from perceiving the most affordable Kindle model as, well, affordable. Will Amazon keep increasing the price of future generations of the basic Kindle? I doubt so. The 7th-generation model from 2014 was $79.99, the one released in 2019 was already $89.99.

The basic Kindle released in 2012 had a price of $69.99.

It will let you compare the benefits that matter to you, and help decide between this model and the 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite released in 2021.īy the way, the previous-generation Kindle released in 2019 is still available on Amazon. Instead of presenting sheer tech specs of the 2022 Kindle, I will put its main features in the context. It sports a 6-inch display, with similar specs to Kindle Paperwhite 4. It doesn’t have warm light, and lacks the all-glass front. The 2022 Kindle model costs $99 and comes with a crisp 300 dpi display, USB-C port, 16 GB memory, and a battery that lasts up to 6 weeks.Ĭompared to the 6.8-inch Paperwhite 5, the 2022 entry-level Kindle is not waterproof. It’s the 11th-generation Kindle, according to Amazon’s device classification. ▸ The best gifts for librarians and library supporters ▸ 20 bookworm gifts for every occasion in 2023
