      Hello PatH. Thank you for your feedback on the Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) 2024. I understand you prefer the older style and find the new model just okay for your ebooks. The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite features a larger 7-inch display with higher contrast, faster page turns, and up to 12 weeks of battery life, along with adjustable warm light and a thinner, lighter design compared to previous generations. While the interface and user experience have been updated with new features like improved navigation and enhanced customization options, I understand that changes to familiar devices can take adjustment, especially when you were comfortable with the previous version. If you're experiencing specific difficulties with the new interface or features that are affecting your reading experience, the device settings allow you to customize many aspects of the display and navigation to better suit your preferences. I hope you find the new Kindle Paperwhite grows on you as you continue using it for your ebooks. Have a great day! AmazonDevices

    I was a hold out on getting a Kindle for a very long time and I was right. It is lackluster at best. While it is convenient once you get the book downloaded, it is slow going trying to find what you want and get it downloaded. I was expecting a lot more out of this product. It is definitely not worth the price.
