Kindle 11th Gen Review: Bridges the gap between the base model and Paperwhite- Technology News, Firstpost
The all-new Kindle Gen 11 is a significant upgrade over all the previous base models with a much sharper display, snappy user interface and better battery backup.

It’s been almost 15 years since the first Kindle was launched. The device is currently in its 11th generation. But ever since Amazon launched the first Kindle Paperwhite, that has been a device of choice for those who could afford it. It was a no-brainer as the Paperwhite had far better features and readability in comparison to the basic Kindle model.
With the launch of the latest Kindle (non-Paperwhite), the choice between the two may not be as straightforward as it borrows a lot of goodness from its more elite cousin. We got to try our hand at the All-new Kindle (as Amazon likes to call it) for the past few weeks, and here’s what’s good and not-so-good about it.

Far better display than its predecessorsThis is by far the biggest improvement on this new Kindle. The older base Kindle screens used to have 167 PPI pixel density that made the text a tad rough around the edges. Amazon has bumped up the pixel density on this one to 300 PPI which is the same as that of the Paperwhite. The screen size is still 6-inch (vs 6.8-inch on the Paperwhite), but it is a lot sharper than before, be it text or book covers.
