Amazon Kindle Paperwhite vs Amazon Kindle

Both are in our tablets & e-readers picks, which means neither is a bad choice. What follows is what actually separates them, and who each one suits.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, 16GB

Amazon Kindle, 16GB, Newest Model

Why it is on the list

Larger screen and waterproofing over the base Kindle. Worth it if you read in the bath or outdoors.

E-ink, not a tablet — it does one thing and the battery lasts weeks. Do not buy it expecting to browse.
