However, there\u2019s not just one Kindle to choose from. From Paperwhite to Oasis to Kids Editions, we\u2019ll help you find the right one.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a lot of different Kindle eReaders over the years. Originally, there was just the Kindle. Amazon soon started adding more models\u2014some of which have been discontinued. At the time of writing in July 2022, Amazon offers six Kindle models:<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Why I Prefer an eReader to a Real Book<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_They_Have_in_Common\"><\/span>What Do They Have in Common?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-761409 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kindle-paperwhite.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Kindle Paperwhite on a bag.\" width=\"650\" height=\"390\" data-credittext=\"Amazon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Amazon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let\u2019s start by talking about what you\u2019ll get from any Kindle eReader. There are a few features that come standard across all the different models. Things you don\u2019t have to worry about when considering which one to buy.<\/p>\n<p>First, all Kindle eReaders have touch input. The days of using a physical keyboard and d-pad to navigate the Kindle interface are over. The only model that still has some physical buttons is the Kindle Oasis (page turn buttons.)<\/p>\n<p>Second, all Kindle eReaders have backlights. This feature used to be reserved for only the Paperwhite and the other more \u201chigh-end\u201d models, but now you can read in the dark on them all. The only difference is the number of LEDs. The standard Kindle and Kindle Kids don\u2019t get as bright as the others.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing is storage options. The base storage across the board for all the Kindle models is 8GB. If 8GB isn\u2019t enough, the Paperwhite and Oasis models also have 32GB options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How Many eBooks Can Fit on a Kindle?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Screen_Size_Matters\"><\/span>Screen Size Matters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-761618 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kindle-paperwhite-signature.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Kindle Paperwhite with warm screen.\" width=\"650\" height=\"390\" data-credittext=\"Amazon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Amazon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Screen size and resolution is one of the most noticeable differentiators between the Kindle models. The standard Kindle and Kindle Kids modes come in with a 6-inch display at 167 ppi (pixels per inch). That\u2019s the smallest and lowest definition screen of the bunch.<\/p>\n<p>A step up from that is the Paperwhite models. All three of them have 6.8-inch displays at 300 ppi. That\u2019s the highest definition you can currently get on a Kindle eReader. But if you\u2019d like an ever so slightly bigger display, the Oasis comes in at an even 7-inches.<\/p>\n<p>Kindles are not like smartphones, there\u2019s not much need for yearly upgrades. People typically will use the same one for several years. If you can afford the extra cost, it\u2019s usually worth going with the higher resolution display for longevity.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_Features\"><\/span>Bonus Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 651px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-816058 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/kindle-water.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Kindle Oasis being used at the pool.\" width=\"651\" height=\"394\" data-credittext=\"Amazon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Amazon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Where the Kindle models really differentiate themselves is with extra bonus features. These things can really help you dial in which Kindle is right for you.<\/p>\n<p>Do you like reading in the tub or at the pool? Waterproofing may be something important to you. All three Paperwhite models and the Oasis have an IPX8 rating. The standard Kindle models don\u2019t have any waterproofing.<\/p>\n<p>While all models have backlights, they aren\u2019t all the same. In addition to the aforementioned brightness differences, the Paperwhite and Oasis models can adjust the color temperature of the light. The light can get warmer, which can be easier on the eyes. Also, the Signature Edition and Oasis have auto-brightness.<\/p>\n<p>On the design front, there\u2019s one major difference between the standard Kindle models and the Paperwhite and Oasis models. The display on the Kindle models is recessed below the bezels. However, on the Paperwhite and Oasis models, it is flush, more like a smartphone display.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the Paperwhite Signature Edition is the only model with wireless charging. The Paperwhite models are also the only ones with USB-C for charging, while the others still use microUSB. The Oasis is the only model with page turn buttons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How Water Resistance Ratings Work for Gadgets<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_the_Kids_Editions\"><\/span>What About the Kids Editions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-760265 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kindle-paperwhite-kids.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Kid reading Kindle Kids Edition.\" width=\"650\" height=\"390\" data-credittext=\"Amazon\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Amazon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As you may have noticed, the Kids Editions have the same features as their non-Kids counterparts.
