<\/a><\/p> Should I get a Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite? \u00a0That is the question many of our readers have asked us. \u00a0In this article, we will do a detailed comparison between the “Basic Kindle” and the Kindle Paperwhite and provide our recommendation as to which is the better buy for you based on your needs. \u00a0Is it worth to upgrade? \u00a0How does the Kindle compare to the latest \u2018Kindle Paperwhite? What are the pros and cons when we compare basic Kindle Vs Kindle Paperwhite?<\/p> There is no doubt that the Amazon\u00a0Kindle is indeed an excellent dedicated e-reader that can\u00a0change your reading experience. \u00a0The Kindle is by far the world’s most popular e-reader and Amazon invests heavily to continuously update the product with new features. \u00a0Can you believe the first Kindle was released 9 years ago in 2007 and was priced at $399? Today, the basic Kindle<\/a> sells for less than 1\/3 of that and is thinner, lighter, and faster. \u00a0In fact now, Amazon has a line of Kindle readers designed to satisfy readers of all budgets including the Paperwhite<\/a>, Voyage<\/a>, and Oasis<\/a>. \u00a0We have reviewed the other Kindle models\u00a0here<\/a> (Voyage) and here<\/a> (Oasis).<\/p> Amazon states that the Kindle Paperwhite is its best selling e-reader out of the entire line. \u00a0It is easy to see why – it offers a number of features compared to the basic Kindle and it sells for under $200 making it quite affordable. \u00a0But the basic Kindle is a bargain at less than half the price. \u00a0 So are the features worth the price?<\/p> The decision ultimately comes down to what you need. \u00a0The table below describes the technical specs of each model<\/p> [box width=”700″ colwidth=”20|100|50″ colalign=”left|left|left”] Screen Size,6 inch glare free, 6\u00a0inch\u00a0glare free So as you can see, the biggest difference between the Paperwhite and the Basic Kindle is that resolution and the built in 4-Led light as well as Free 3G connectivity that will let you use your Kindle in over 100 countries for free. \u00a0Of course, the price is also a factor and you can find out today’s pricing on Amazon below:<\/p> \u2714<\/span> CHECK TODAY’S DEAL FOR KINDLE (The All New Version)<\/span><\/a><\/p> \u2714<\/span> CHECK TODAY’S DEAL FOR KINDLE PAPERWHITE<\/span><\/a><\/p> We feel that the Kindle Paperwhite provides\u00a0a significant upgrade for those who read often. \u00a0This is especially important in conditions such as bright sunlight (like when you’re reading on the beach!) or in the plane (like when that guy opens his sunshade and a flood of light comes in), and also when it is dark such as when you are in bed (and your partner wants to sleep while you\u00a0read). \u00a0The Kindle Paperwhite reads just like paper, but has\u00a0the added benefit of not hurting your eyes when it is dark. \u00a0The basic Kindle does not have a back light so in our tests, we found it difficult to read at night. \u00a0As Amazon states, the “Kindle Paperwhite guides light toward the surface of the display with its built-in front light\u2014unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes\u2014so you can read comfortably for hours without eyestrain.”<\/p> Our recommendation is that if you want the flexibility of being able to read in different conditions and at all times of the day, go for the Paperwhite<\/a> . \u00a0If you are a casual reader that plans to use it during the day or from time to time, we would suggest saving the money and buying the Basic Kindle<\/a>. \u00a0Regardless of which one you buy, we highly recommend\u00a0you\u00a0buy it directly from Amazon so that you get\u00a0the\u00a0full warranty and service that Amazon is known for.<\/p>Kindle Basic Overview<\/h1>
