The changes are small, but the new Kindle Paperwhite improves on its predecessor’s already amazing design. Between the improved battery life, faster performance and bigger display, Amazon made the right upgrades to justify the $10 price increase.

The new Paperwhite features a slightly larger screen, improved performance and slightly better contrast. Should you ditch your old Kindle for it?

It comes with a £169.99 / $159.99 / AU$299 asking price, which means there's a small price rise compared to the previous generation (depending on your territory), but if you're shopping for a Paperwhite, this is now the default option.
