This is more acceptable on the basic Kindle, but we think the Paperwhite deserves an upgrade to USB-C by the next iteration. Sadly, both of them rely on antiquated Micro USB ports for charging. The Amazon Kindle also takes four hours to charge, while the Paperwhite can be charged in three hours. Amazon prefers not to reveal the capacity but suggests the Kindle will last four weeks, based on half an hour of reading a day, while the Paperwhite can go six weeks.

Both the Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite are fairly quick to turn pages and, though there’s a screen flicker as ghost images fade in menus, it’s not noticeable when you’re reading.

The IPX8 rating means that it can be submerged in up to 6.5 feet of fresh water for up to an hour without sustaining damage. What the Paperwhite offers that the basic Kindle lacks is waterproofing. However, there’s not much in it, and some people will prefer the smaller and lighter Kindle to the beefier Paperwhite. The Paperwhite’s screen also sits flush with the casing, and this more high-end design gives the Paperwhite a slightly more expensive feel and look. The Paperwhite is all glass on the front, with big bezels around the 6-inch screen, while the Kindle has a 6-inch screen that’s surrounded by a plastic frame.
