A comparison between the new 12th gen Kindle Paperwhite and the new basic Kindle for 2024. I forgot to mention the Paperwhite has longer battery life than the Kindle, but the Kindle is more pocketable and is about 50 grams lighter.

A note about contrast: Both screens are very similar, but in direct light the ink looks slightly darker on the Paperwhite's screen. At some points in the video the ink looks darker on the basic Kindle, but that seems to be a result of the light hitting the Paperwhite's flush screen at an angle. In person the difference is minor, but I have to give a slight edge to the Paperwhite's screen, especially when using the frontlight.
