Our take on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation) 8GB, Wi-Fi, 6 inch eBook Reader

The 10th-generation Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon's 2018 e-reader with a 6-inch, 300 ppi glare-free display, five built-in LEDs for even lighting, and an IPX8 rating that lets it survive a dunk in fresh water. It holds 8 GB, adds Bluetooth for Audible audiobooks, and weighs about 0.56 lbs, so it slips into a bag and reads one-handed. Against the base Kindle it adds a sharper screen, adjustable warm-free front light and waterproofing; against the newer 11th-generation Paperwhite it has a smaller screen, no adjustable color temperature, and no USB-C. Owners praise the crisp text and long battery life but note the slower page turns and the micro-USB port.

Questions and answers

Is the 10th-generation Paperwhite still worth buying?
It is a solid pick if you want a sharp, waterproof e-reader and do not need USB-C or warm lighting. Newer Paperwhites are faster and larger, so compare if those matter to you.
How is it different from the base Kindle?
It has a sharper 300 ppi screen, five front lights instead of four, and IPX8 waterproofing. The base Kindle has neither waterproofing nor the same pixel density.
Can it play audiobooks?
Yes, it plays Audible audiobooks over Bluetooth 4.1 to paired speakers or headphones. It has no headphone jack, so you need Bluetooth audio.
Is it waterproof?
It is rated IPX8 for up to 2 meters of fresh water for 60 minutes. It is not rated for salt water or other liquids.
How many books does 8 GB hold?
Amazon rates 8 GB at roughly 6,000 books, though comics and audiobooks take far more space. Most readers will never fill it.
Does it have a headphone jack or USB-C?
No. It charges over micro-USB and has no headphone jack; audio goes over Bluetooth only.
