I believe this is the previous gen model, with micro USB and a slightly smaller screen.

This version, copied from Wiki:

Tenth generation
Kindle Paperwhite (fourth iteration)
Amazon announced the fourth-iteration Kindle Paperwhite on October 16, 2018, and released it on November 7, 2018; it is colloquially referred to as the Paperwhite 4 and Paperwhite 2018. It is available in 8 GB Wi-Fi, 32 GB Wi-Fi and 32 GB Wi-Fi + 4G LTE models. It features a 6-inch plastic-backed display of Amazon's own design with 300 ppi and a flush screen featuring five LED lights. It is waterproof with an IPX8 rating, allowing submersion in 2 meters of fresh water for up to one hour. It supports playback of Audible audio books only by pairing with external Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
The Verge rated the Paperwhite 4 as 8.5 of 10, praising its great display, water-resistance and battery life but criticizing its lack of physical buttons and no USB-C support."


The newest version for comparison (also from Wiki):

Eleventh generation
Kindle Paperwhite (fifth iteration)
Amazon announced the Kindle Paperwhite (fifth iteration) on September 21, 2021, and it was released on October 27, 2021. It features 8 GB of storage and has similar dimensions to its predecessor but has a larger 6.8-inch display set in thinner bezels, 17 LEDs in the front light that can adjust color temperature to warmer tones (first featured in Kindle Oasis 3), an updated processor, and longer battery life that Amazon claims lasts up to ten weeks on a single charge. It is the first Kindle with a USB-C port. The Paperwhite 5 is also available in a higher cost Signature Edition that additionally supports Qi wireless charging, has 32 GB of storage, and includes an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the backlight brightness. Amazon has stated that some Qi chargers are incompatible and recommends using an Amazon charging dock. The Verge gave the Kindle Paperwhite (fifth iteration) 8.5 out of 10, praising the display and battery but did not like the lack of physical buttons and lack of support for e-books found outside of the Kindle Store. In September 2022, a model with 16 GB of storage was added.

Personally the updates for the new version (larger screen, smaller side and top bezels, more LEDs and warmer light color options) are worth paying a bit more for, but YMMV, of course. This model was also $40 on Black Friday (refurbished?), too.

I have this one, no ads. I like it but I wish the screen on these was about an inch taller

I don't use kindle format books. I just get library stuff and convert to mobi with calibre.

Been looking at ereaders for a little while, in for 1. Figure this would let me see if I'm actually a good reader for a while, before I spend on a current generation next year/when I want an upgrade.

Only the 8GB available for me

I bought 2 identical models refurbished from separate deals @ woot over the last 2 months for $40. Seem's to be the price pretty often. Both look brand new, and one didn't have ad's even when it was advertised that it would.
