Footnotes

MSRP is for the e-reader without additional accessories, like a stylus or cover. If such an accessory is always included (see column: Accessories in the box), then it’s also included in the listed price.
Some Amazon Kindle e-readers are are also available with ads on the lockscreen, usually for a $20 discount on the listed MSRP for the base model without ads. You can remove the ads at a later date by paying the difference later (here).

Some clarification on the Kindle model names, as it might be a bit confusing.

The first thing to address is that Amazon just lists the newest devices they’re as the ‘Kindle’, ‘Kindle Paperwhite’ and ‘Kindle Oasis’, without listing the generation of the device.

To make it easier to distinguish and compare, the devices are more commonly known by adding their generation. I’ve done so in the comparison table as well.

However, others also go with the release year. Then there’s also some that will call the cheapest Kindle device of every generation the ‘Kindle Basic’.

To clarify, here’s a list of all devices that are known by multiple names:

Kindle 11 = ‘Kindle 11th generation’, ‘Kindle 2022’, ‘Kindle Basic 4’, or ‘Kindle Basic 2022’
Kindle 10 = ‘Kindle 10th generation’, ‘Kindle 2019, ‘Kindle Basic 3’, or ‘Kindle Basic 2019’
Kindle 8 = ‘Kindle 8th generation’, ‘Kindle 2016’, ‘Kindle Basic 2’, or ‘Kindle Basic 2016’
Kindle 7 = ‘Kindle 7th generation’, ‘Kindle 2014’, ‘Kindle Basic 1’, ‘Kindle Basic 2014’

Kindle Paperwhite 5 = ‘Paperwhite 5th generation’ (as it’s the 5th generation of the ‘Paperwhite’ device), ‘Paperwhite 2021′, or ’11th generation Kindle Paperwhite’ (as it’s the 11th overall Kindle e-reader release generation)
Kindle Paperwhite 4 = ‘Paperwhite 4th generation’, ‘Paperwhite 2019′, ’10th generation Kindle Paperwhite’
Kindle Paperwhite 3 = ‘Kindle Paperwhite 3rd generation’, ‘Paperwhite 2015’, ‘7th generation Kindle Paperwhite’
Kindle Paperwhite 2 = ‘Kindle Paperwhite 2nd generation’, ‘Paperwhite 2013’, ‘6th generation Kindle Paperwhite’
Kindle Paperwhite = ‘First generation Kindle Paperwhite’, ‘Paperwhite 2012’

Kindle Oasis 3 = ‘Oasis 3rd generation’, ‘Oasis 2019′, ’10th generation Oasis’
Kindle Oasis 2 = ‘Oasis 2nd generation’, ‘Oasis 2017’, ‘9th generation Oasis’
Kindle Oasis = ‘Oasis first generation’, Oasis 2016′, ‘8th generation Oasis’
