I am somewhat disappointed in the 2015 version as there is not a huge improvement over last year’s model. The Paperwhite made many improvements from its original first generation 2012 model to its second generation 2013 model, especially in the display and processor area. The 2013 model came with 2 GB storage, a wonderful display, a great battery and was the e-book “workhorse.” The second generation 2014 model changed by only increasing storage to 4 GB. The third generation 2015 model increased the display resolution but reduced the battery life slightly.
Personally, I had no problem storing about 1,000 on my 2013 Paperwhite, so unless you plan on storing a whole library on your Paperwhite, 2 GB storage should be just fine. And a 2013 model would definitely be cheaper than the listed $120. Just from a cursory Amazon search, a 2013 Paperwhite with Wi-fi and special offers (the cheapest version) in an acceptable condition costs about $60, cheaper than the latest regular Kindle!
Whatever you choose, good luck finding the perfect e-reader for you.
