They are bigger screens than the 2017 models, too, I think. 6.8" now vs 6" then.
I think the screen may be cracked inside? Smooshed on something in my bag this week maybe? It doesn't look like the ghosting that most people mention for e-ink, but like a cluster of dead pixels.
Yeah, that looks very much like the corner got crushed, a bit.
Well prime day Kindle deals are up, to replace my old Paperwhite, damaged above.
$160-something for the Signature Edition Paperwhite bundle. Extra storage, no ads, leather case, wireless charger.
Trade in my old broken Kindle. Gets 20% off the new one. The 20% comes off the retail price of $210 or whatever, not counting the prime deal discount.
So $111 with taxes and I had a $100 gift card.
Yoink.
Be here Wed, so I can finish reading Leviathan Falls in style
The newest Paperwhites are really good, you’ll be happy.
My Oasis has already had one battery exchange (it's 4 years old) and it's starting to quickly lose charge (20% a day, maybe?) even on airplane mode, so I'm considering a new Paperwhite instead. I love the Oasis but that last update was minimal and I don't think the cost is warranted any more, really.
Looks like a lot more bundles available today. Still happy with the price I got yesterday but today you can choose from essential, signature, ads, no ads, whatever, there's a bunch of options
Not for me. No way am I sending my functioning Kindle back more than a month before the new one ships...
Not finding anything worth buying on the Amazon garbage sale. Discounts aren't spectacular and it looks like most of the items are house brand or might as well be.
Samsung tablets are on sale. I bought one figuring I can delete or hide most of their bloatware.

I went from an Oasis (the model with the side buttons and smaller screen) to the current Paperwhite. Pretty much the same reason as you because the battery was failing and would only last like 4 hours. I have been happy with the change and it was a good upgrade. The only thing I really miss is the side buttons so I could hold it with either hand and easily turn the pages one-handed. The touchscreen on the Paperwhite works really well, it just isn't quite as convenient.
I vastly prefer the current Paperwhite over the Oasis but the model I really loved and miss is the Voyage.
