How is this different from the last Paperwhite model? I see "improved screen" and "faster processor". It seems like there's also some new software features, but that's just software. Is that all that's new?
- rob-alarcon 13y agoI'm planning to upgrade my old Paperwhite just for the hardware update, Processor and battery basically, I feel my current kindle kinda slow, and the battery dies pretty soon if you're with airplane mode off.
- gambiting 13y agoI have the wi-fi on permanently and it lasts more than a week of reading books every single day(backlight set to 12). I don't think I would upgrade just to improve that, it's plenty for me.
- marblar 13y agoThe hardware upgrade specifically mentioned processor speed. I would be mildly surprised to learn that Kindles are CPU-bound. I have always assumed the device was limited by the screen's refresh rate.
- sliverstorm 13y agoTo me it reads kind of like the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S. Most everyone who had an iPhone 4 didn't upgrade, but it gave the people with the iPhone 3 an extra nudge to upgrade, and also sends the message "hey guys, we're continually improving the device, even if the updates aren't always huge".
