You can get it for $149.99.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <a href=\"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/kindle-paperwhite-6-8-2021-things-to-know\/\">6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite<\/a> was launched in October 2021, only two storage variants were available. The regular Paperwhite came with 8 GB of internal memory, while the Signature Edition was available with 32 GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-background has-system-sans-serif-font-family is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#dedede;border-width:1px;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-top:1em;padding-right:1.5em;padding-bottom:1em;padding-left:1.5em\"><ul class=\"has-dates has-small-font-size wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/top-free-ebooks-christmas-2023\/'>Free ebooks for Christmas 2023: here are the top 20 downloads<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-12-15T14:05:39+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Dec 15, 2023<\/time> <\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/best-personalized-library-gifts\/'>12 best personalized gifts for librarians and library supporters<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-11-18T11:11:37+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Nov 18, 2023<\/time> <\/li><\/ul><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no way to buy the regular Paperwhite 5 with a bigger storage. Fortunately, things are getting better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same day Amazon announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/amazon-kindle-11-2022-faq-worth-buying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">newest base-level Kindle 11<\/a>, the 16 GB storage variant was added to the Kindle Paperwhite 5 product page. I have checked <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220913065108\/https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-new-Kindle-Paperwhite-adjustable-Ad-Supported\/dp\/B08KTZ8249\">Wayback Machine<\/a>, and no 16 GB variant was available earlier this day, so it happened exactly at the time of announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09TMN58KL\/?tag=eflykd-20\" target=\"_blank\">Kindle Paperwhite 5 Regular with 16 GB and lockscreen ads<\/a> costs <strong>$149.99<\/strong>. It\u2019s $10 more than the 8 GB variant. For the 16 GB version without ads, you will pay $169.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one more thing worth mentioning. You can now get the 8 GB Paperwhite with a free 3-month Kindle Unlimited subscription at no extra cost. The Kindle Unlimited offer was not available at the device\u2019s launch \u2013\u00a0and it&#8217;s still not available for the 16 GB storage variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the bigger storage size important? The 8 GB Paperwhite has some 6 GB available for the user. You can store thousands of text-only ebooks on your e-reader. Would you ever be able to read them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things change when you use your Kindle Paperwhite to collect and listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Audible-Books-and-Originals\/b?node=18145289011&amp;tag=eflykd-20\">Audible audiobooks<\/a>. The 8 GB Kindle will handle some 35-40 full-length audio files. When you get the 16 GB variant, you will have 70-80 audiobooks ready to be played any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, the storage is important for readers who use the Kindle as the ultimate ebook bookshelf and rarely sync their content with Amazon Kindle cloud servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you planning to buy the Kindle Paperwhite with 8 or 16 GB of internal memory?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09TMN58KL\/?tag=eflykd-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u21e2 Paperwhite 16 GB<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Keep exploring.
