Amazon's 1st generation Kindle Paperwhite came into the market 3 years ago. Since then, little has changed about this revolutionary device in terms of hardware. In fact, so little is the difference that if you keep the latest Paperwhite next to the old one with screen off, you'll hardly notice any difference. The curvy, soft-to-touch plastic body along with the USB port, power button and the status light, all remain the same in this new Kindle Paperwhite. The only notable difference between the two is that of the logo on the back and the logo of Kindle that's located in the front.
