I plan on nabbing one to play with when it goes on sale. I'm more than fine waiting 'til Prime Day. Now that it has built-in lighting, I expect this to be Amazon's best selling model (at least when the price difference is actually $30-40 instead of the $10-15 right now due to PW4 discounts). |

The title is clear. It’s referring to the Kindle (10th Generation). The PW4 is the Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation).
I think you’re the only one who kept insisting the thread was about the Paperwhite. |

I’m still confused what code naming are assigned to basic Kindles. The last I saw on the Kindle Serial Numbers wiki is KT3 and I have no idea if that’s the same as Amazon’s Kindle (8th gen) or if it’s something even earlier. |

Yes, KT3 is Kindle (8th gen), so we would assign KT4 to the Kindle (10th gen).

‘Kindle’ always requires some qualifying terms applied to it. I prefer to use what Amazon uses on their support pages, e.g.:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201263790 I think the ‘generation’ naming is somewhat post hoc but they have been pretty consistent about it for awhile. Yes it is more letters to type but generation number tells a little more, such as when it was released (roughly number of years since first gen) as well as what software is running on it (current update supports 6th generation or later). |

But amazon allegedly numbers generations differently in different markets.

I did a quick check of Japan site, they definitely include generation number in the current Paperwhite listing. |

I got one, I've been using it mainly for development, browsing, and testing.
It's been working just fine. |
