I'm on my third Kindle (a Paperwhite). I had the very first version of Kindle that was bigger but you had to push buttons to do things like turn pages, use the dictionary, turn on and off, etc. I had it for years till I dropped and broke it and thought I would not like the Paperwhite. Now I love it. Especially I like that you can hold your finger on a word and the definition of the word will appear. My first Paperwhite malfunctioned, and Amazon replaced it immediately, next day postage, with all my books preloaded.
Also, I bought a hard cover for it (makes it like a book), and when I open the cover, it tells me to swipe to turn the Kindle on. If you don't spend the $40 for the hard cover with this function, you have to push up on a button to turn it on. I highly recommend the cover, if for no other reason than to protect the screen.
If you do get a cover, I recommend getting a colored one. Mine is red, and my husband's is black. He frequently cannot find his Kindle because it's black and hiding in plain sight. My red one is easy to spot. You might think that's silly, but for us it is an issue. Also, the different colors make them easy to distinguish whose is whose.
As VillageTinker would say, Hope this helps.
