There are three prevailing characteristics that work best for identifying your particular Kindle model. The first and most effective method is with the serial number. Your serial number is unique to your device. However, the first few digits are the same across all Kindles of the same model.
The second method for identification is the physical model number. You can Google Search the model number and the Amazon page for the proper Kindle should show up, although older models may not appear. The below table has each device, its release year, the generation it was a part of, the short name, and serial number prefixes to help identify it.
Again, go into your device settings, find the Device Info option, and look at the first few characters of your serial number. Compare it to the table below to find your specific model. Please note that some models had a whole bunch of potential serial numbers. We noticed Paperwhites have a ton of serial numbers. The table or the previously explained model number method should be enough for most people.
We highly recommend the serial number method and the physical model number method. This is usually pretty easy and Amazon has a help page with photos of each of them here. However, in some cases, it can be difficult to tell the difference between models just from images. For example, the Oasis and the Oasis are physically identical to a point where you can use the same folio case for either one. We hope this guide helped you identify your Kindle model.

The 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite ended up with a 4. The 2nd Kindle Paperwhite model was released less than one year after the 1st version in September It was a relatively minor update, but they did upgrade to a newer faster processor and the latest E Ink Carta screen with better contrast still with ppi. Touchscreen responsiveness was also improved, and so was the frontlight, which was more evenly lit than the first gen model.
The 2nd gen Kindle Paperwhite ended up having a 4. Amazon released the Kindle Paperwhite 3 in June Basically there were only two improvements: they upgraded the screen to ppi and they doubled storage space and RAM to 4GB and MB. A 32GB Manga model was eventually released in Japan as well, which was exactly the same otherwise.
Amazon decided to drop support for Active Content on the Paperwhite 3 so Kindle apps and games were no longer supported. Some people are still complaining about that move. The Paperwhite 4 brought the most changes compared to previous upgrades, with an all-new waterproof design and flush front screen. They also increased storage space to 8GB and added a 32GB option. Amazon finally added audiobook support to the Paperwhite line as well, with the option to listen using Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
It has a couple of new software features too, including the option to read with white text on a black background and you can disable the touchscreen except for page-turn swipes to avoid accidental presses. The Kindle Paperwhite 4 currently has a 4. I am very interested in the new Kindel. Cheap, long battery life, decent performance, can install Google Play.
