Kindle Paperwhite 3Īmazon released the Kindle Paperwhite 3 in June 2015.īasically there were only two improvements: they upgraded the screen to 300 ppi and they doubled storage space and RAM to 4GB and 512MB. The 2nd gen Kindle Paperwhite ended up having a 4.5-star rating over all customer reviews at Amazon, making it one of the most well-liked Kindles of all time. Touchscreen responsiveness was also improved, and so was the frontlight, which was more evenly lit than the first gen model.
#11th generation kindle paperwhite case upgrade
It was a relatively minor update, but they did upgrade to a newer faster processor and the latest E Ink Carta screen with better contrast (still with 212 ppi). The 2nd Kindle Paperwhite model was released less than one year after the 1st version in September 2013. The 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite ended up with a 4.3-star rating based on customer reviews at Amazon, a step up from the 4.0-star rating for the Kindle Touch that the Paperwhite replaced. It had a 212 ppi E Ink Pearl screen and it was the first Kindle to have a frontlight.Įarlier Kindles supported text-to-speech and audiobooks, but Amazon completely removed those features on the 1st Kindle Paperwhite, and they also decreased storage space from 4GB to 2GB, which didn’t sit well with some folks. The 1st Kindle Paperwhite was released back in October 2012. Looking back, I thought it would be interesting to see how the Kindle Paperwhite has evolved over the years.
If you want to know which specific model you have, there’s this Which Kindle E-reader Do I Have? page at Amazon that lists all the Kindle models, with a basic description of each one.
The way they’ve chosen to differentiate each model is by generation, but they are referring to the overall Kindle generation, not the Paperwhite line specifically.
Instead they’ve simply called all four models the “Kindle Paperwhite” all through the years to try and confuse everyone (especially when you’re trying to find a new cover or accessory).
