The 2018 Paperwhite model isn’t an entirely new Kindle. It’s more of an iteration on the previous model, adding extra features including water resistance and Audible compatibility.

More Storage
The latest Kindle has doubled its storage for the base model, from 4GB to 8GB. That might not sound like much compared to what you’re rocking in your phone or tablet. Though ebooks are tiny when it comes to storage, and you can pack a lot of them into a small space. Take Stephen King’s doorstop of a novel, It. At 1,169 pages, it only takes up just over 3Mb of storage.
Audible
Thinner and lighter
It’s unlikely you’ll notice it unless you compare side-by-side with the older version, but we can’t begrudge a more compact Kindle.
