There are four types of lineups.Let's know the characteristics of each model

From left, Kindle, Kindle Papwerwhite, Kindle Paperwhite signature edition, Kindle Oasis

First, the lineup of Kindle devices.Currently, three types of lineups are roughly divided into the Kindle series, and the intermediate model Paperwhite has a higher -level model called "Signature Edition".Therefore, there will be a total of 4 models.

Among them, "Kindle" is sold as an entry model, and the price is at 8,980 yen (tax included).

On the other hand, the intermediate model is "Kindle Paperwhite", the price is 14,980 yen (tax included), and the top model is "Kindle Oasis" for 29,800 yen (tax included).Many functions are added as it becomes a higher -level model.

"Kindle Oasis" is very expensive compared to other terminals, which is about 30,000 yen, but it can be said to be the highest level of e -book leaders because it has various functions.

Kindle Paperwhite's "Signature Edition" has multiple functions that are more convenient than normal models.The price is a little expensive at 19,980 yen (tax included).

However, this price difference is also related to the fact that only advertising models are prepared.As a reference, Kindle Paperwhite's regular model advertisement hidden model is sold for 16,980 yen (tax included).

Comparing the performance of each terminal is as follows.

If you read a large amount of paperbacks and comics, "Paperwhite Signature Edition" or "Kindle Oasis"

First, the built -in storage capacity.

Kindle mainly downloads and reads e -books.In other words, the larger the storage capacity, the more e -books you can store.

Only 8GB of Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite can be selected, but the Kindle Paperwhite signature edition is 32GB, and the Kindle Oasis has a 2GB and 32GB lineup.

ストレージ容量

Kindle	Kindle Paperwhite	Kindle Paperwhiteシグニチャー エディション	Kindle Oasis
8GB	8GB	32GB	8GB / 32GB

The capacity per book is about 50MB (about 600KB per page) for comics, and about 500KB to 1MB (about 2KB per page) for books.In the case of books, the file capacity is not so large due to the character data, but 10 books can reach 500MB for 10 books.

If you download a large amount of comics, you can save about 160 books for 8GB and about 640 comics, 4 times this 4 times.

Because it is a considerable number of books, Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite may be enough, but if you have been serializing for many years and have read comics with a large number of books, Kindle Paperwhite Sitger EditionPlease consider purchasing a 32GB model of Kindle Oasis.

Paperwhite or oasis is easy to see.

The most important thing in reading letters is how the screen looks.The Kindle series all has a screen that can be drawn with a paper-like texture called e-ink, so you can read as if you are reading a real book.

	Kindle	Kindle Paperwhite	Kindle Paperwhiteシグニチャー エディション	Kindle Oasis
ディスプレイ	6インチ	6.8インチ	6.8インチ	7インチ
解像度	167ppi	300ppi	300ppi	300ppi

The screen size is larger as it becomes a higher model, Kindle is 6 inches and Kindle Paperwhite 6.8 inches, Kindle Oasis is 7 inches.Of course, the larger the size, the more you can enjoy the content on the spacious screen.

However, the most important thing to pay attention to for the ease of viewing of the screen is the screen resolution.Kindle is 167ppi, while Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis have a resolution of about twice as much as 300 ppi.

In fact, if you read comics and books on Kindle, the difference is obvious, and in the case of Kindle, the letters and pictures are slightly jagged, while Paperwhite and Oasis are very smooth.

If the resolution is low, it may be difficult to see fine characters depending on the book, so it is recommended to purchase Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Oasis.

フロントライト

Kindle	Kindle Paperwhite	Kindle Paperwhiteシグニチャー エディション	Kindle Oasis
LED 4個	LED 17個	LED 17個	LED 25個

By the way, Paperwhite and Oasis have the same resolution, but Oasis is brighter and easier to see depending on the number of front lights.If you use the most important items, you may need to consider purchasing Kindle Oasis.

If you use it in a kitchen or bath, Peperwhite or OASIS

And the third important point is "waterproof performance".If you have the opportunity to use it on the waterside, such as a bath or a kitchen, you should always choose a waterproof device.

Two models have waterproof performance: Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis.These two models have a high performance that can operate even after sinking at a depth of 2 meters, so there should be almost no opportunity to submerge in daily life.

On the other hand, Kindle has no waterproof performance.If you spray the water, you will be unable to read the book because it breaks down.

防水性能

Kindle	Kindle Paperwhite	Kindle Paperwhiteシグニチャー エディション	Kindle Oasis
×	IPX8等級	IPX8等級	IPX8等級

By the way, it is not recommended to sink in a bath or use it while showering just because of the waterproof performance.Soaking in hot water not only has a negative effect on the device, but also uses the basics of use on water, such as a half -body bath, because the screen that is wet with water cannot be operated.

This is a matter of course, but I should keep in mind that a friend who tried to use a smartphone in the water before was close.

Kindle Paperwhite adopts the long-awaited USB-C port

The Kindle device displays the screen regularly to display the screen using a built -in battery.

The charging port had a microUSB port for the past, but the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Paperwhite signature edition announced in September 2021 are newly equipped with a long-awaited USB-C port.

If a smartphone or laptop has a USB-C port, a charger such as a living room or bedroom can be unified with a USB-C charger.

Also, if you bring a Kindle device to a travel destination, there is an advantage that you can share a USB-C charging smartphone and a charger and cable without having a dedicated charger or cable.It should lead to minimizing your luggage.

Once summary.Buy Kindle Paperwhite from Kindle

Here is a summary here.As I mentioned at the beginning, the e -book leader "Kindle" series is roughly divided into three models and a total of 4 models including the Paperwhite signature model, and the characteristics are different for each model.

Among them, the above four points should be emphasized."Storage capacity", "screen resolution", "presence or absence of waterproof function", "whether it supports USB-C".

If you emphasize these four features, you can say Kindle Paperwhite that has excellent cost performance.If you intend to put a lot of comics, we recommend a signature edition with many storage.

Kindle is not a bad terminal, but after all, if you think about "no waterproof performance" and "low screen resolution", you want to choose a higher model.

The price difference between Kindle and Kindle Oasis is 20,820 yen, but the difference between Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite is only 6,000 yen.If you can get waterproof performance and high -screen resolution for 6,000 yen, it may be rather cheap.

If you're worried about whether to buy Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite, you should be more happy to buy Kindle Paperwhite.

Which is better for Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Paperwhite signature edition?

If you buy a Kindle Paperwhite, you may be worried about either a normal model or a signature edition.

Most of the two models are the same, but the signature edition has four times the storage of a normal model, and it supports automatic brightness and wireless charging.

In addition, the signature edition has no advertisement display, and the difference is only 3,000 yen compared to the normal model advertisement.

Based on these, if you want to buy a model without an advertisement, it is definitely better to buy a signature edition.With four times the storage, wireless charging and brightness automatic adjustment function of normal models, you should be able to read more comfortably.

If you want to use wireless charging in the signature edition, don't forget that anker dedicated charging stand is needed.The price of the charging stand alone is 3,480 yen (tax included).

If you purchase a signature edition and charging stand as a set, the cost of the charging stand can be purchased cheaply at 2,480 yen, so if you want to use wireless charging, it is actually 22,460 yen signature edition + wireless charging stand set product.You need to buy.

If you purchase a set product with a charging stand, the difference from the normal model of Paperwhite is 5,480 yen.The charm may have dropped from the difference of 3,000 yen, but wireless charging is very convenient, so please consult with your wallet.

Explain the difference between Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis

From now on, I would like to mention the difference between Kindle Papertwhite and Kindle Oasis.

First of all, Kindle Paperwhite is sold at 14,980 yen (tax included), and Kindle Paperwhite signature edition is sold for 19,980 yen (tax included), while Kindle Oasis is sold at 29,800 yen (tax included).。The price difference is 15,000 yen for Paperwhite's regular model and OASIS, and the difference between Paperwhite's signature edition and OASIS is 10,000 yen.

Where is the difference in this amount?Let's check the comparison table of each model again.

As you can see from the table above, the specifications of Kindle Papertwhite and Kindle Oasis are unexpectedly similar.Waterproof performance, screen resolution, and color toning lights are all the same.

Although the screen size is slightly different, it is a small difference, so I would like to omit this point.

The important thing is how comfortable you can read.For example, the number of front lights to make the screen easier to see is 17 with 17 Papwerwhite, but 25 Kindle Oasis, which may make a difference in reading experience depending on the reading environment.

In addition, Kindle Oasis is made with ease of use, such as an adult engineering design, automatic screen rotation function, and page sending buttons.If you read for a long time, Kindle Oasis will not be easy.

Kindle Oasis

However, what is worrisome is the difference in charging port.Paperwhite is USB-C and OASIS is microUSB.OASIS is equipped with a microUSB port that is rarely seen now, as the latest model has appeared for a while.

Recently, smartphones and notebook PCs have a USB-C port, so it is a great advantage to be able to use the same charger and cable as those devices.

In addition, the signature edition, which is the top model of Paperwhite, also has the only characteristic of wireless charging.The model is close to OASIS or some performance is higher than Oasis, so it is a fact that Oasis's advantage is in danger.If you buy it now, it may be better to buy a signature edition than to buy an old OASIS.

Or, if you already have some Kindle device and don't need to buy it right now, it's one of the options to wait for the new model of Oasis to appear.

Which of the Wi-Fi models should be selected for the Wi-Fi model and the Wi-Fi+4G model without ads.

In addition to the storage capacity options, the Kindle series has an option to support whether the advertisement is displayed or not, "Wi-Fi only" or "Wi-Fi+4G".There is.

Regarding which combination is good, I think it depends on the user, but if you give advice, you should buy a Wi-Fi model without an advertisement.

People still feel stressed when advertising comes out.If you pay only 2,000 yen, you can eliminate advertisements, so if you use it for a long time, it is better to buy a model without an advertisement.

Also, Wi-Fi models and Wi-Fi+4G models will affect whether to read on the go.If you usually use it at home and occasionally use it outside, you should download a book you want to read before going out, so you don't have to download an e -book on the go.

People who need 4G communication are people who are out of the year.If you are a businessman flying west to the east, maybe the Wi-Fi + 4G model is the best.By the way, if you want a Wi-Fi + 4G model, you will inevitably have to choose Kindle Oasis, the top model, so let's consider it carefully.

Summary: Which model is the best model for you

So far, we have introduced the characteristics of each terminal, but in summary of the explanations so far, the following cases are divided.

Anyway, I want a cheap e -book reader → Kindle

I want to read in the bath or pool side → Kindle Paperwhite / Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Kindle Oasis

I want a good model with waterproofing and clear resolution → Kindle Paperwhite

There are many opportunities to read outside → Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Kindle Oasis

I want to charge with USB-C → Kindle Paperwhite / Kindle Paperwhite signature edition

I want wireless charging → Kindle Paperwhite signature edition

I want an automatic screen rotation function and page sending button → Kindle Oasis

I want to save a lot of comics → Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Kindle Oasis (32GB)

Assuming that it will be used outside your home → Kindle Oasis Wi-Fi + 4G model

With the appearance of a new model of Kindle Paperwhite and the appearance of the Kindle Paperwhite signature edition, it seems that it is difficult to judge which model to choose, but what is important is what emphasis is on reading e -books.

Considering the situations you read well, and if you pick up the function you want, you should be able to narrow down the model to some extent.

Please decide which model to choose by referring to.

If you read this so far, if you decide which terminal is good, I would like to recommend "Kindle Paperwhite", which is the best cospa and will not be troubled in the future.

If you can add 3,000 yen to this, "Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (without wireless charging stand)", and if you can add 5,480 yen, "Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (Wireless Charging Stand Set)" is also recommended.

By the way, there are limited benefits for those who purchase Kindle devices.First of all, one e -book is free in the owner library.If a person who has joined a prime member purchases a Kindle terminal, one more than 20,000 e -books will be given free of charge every month.

There is also a service called Prime Reading to distribute some e -books free of charge for prime members.If you buy a Kindle device and become a prime member, remember that you can receive the above services.

In addition, it supports the level of reading with a variety of functions, such as dictionaries, single -word books, and goals to promote reading.The parent dashboard allows you to check your child's daily reading.

Left: Kindle Kids Model/Right: Kindle Paperwhite Kids Model

The difference between the "Kindle Kids Model" and the "Kindle Paperwhite Kids Model" is the size and resolution of the screen, the number of front lights, the presence or absence of color toning lights, and the presence or absence of waterproof performance.

The difference between both models is 6,000 yen.Kindle Paperwhite Kids Model, which is convenient for waterproofing, may be suitable for a cheap "Kindle Kids Model" if your child is small.

In the following, we will use the comparison of both models, so I would like you to make good use of it and purchase a model suitable for your child.
