The newest Paperwhite from Amazon has a few things to recommend it.
The light is built in, and is still not technically a backlight.
It can produce warmer light to help you sleep and keep the pages more sepia toned.
It’s water resistant.
And it finally has USB-C.
I like to load up my own font choices and I can send whatever book I want to it, but if I own the audible and kindle version those sync between one another. So I can listen in the car and read before bed and won’t lose my place.
I really love mine. YMMV.
Whaa...sync audio and the digital word?
Yeah, it’s really cool! Audible picks up where you left off on the Kindle, and the Kindle will ask if you want to jump to where you left off on Audible. I’ve only run into one series where it didn’t work.
(Also buying the Audible narration for a Kindle book you already own is way cheaper than buying the Audible narration outright. Sometimes the Kindle + Audible is cheaper than the Audible.)
