What generation is a 2016 Kindle?

The 8th Generation Kindle has a six inch e-Ink Pearl display with a resolution of 800 X 600 and 167 PPI. It does not have a capacitive touchscreen, instead it employs Infrared Touch technology by Neonode.
What are the different generations of Kindles?
There are currently six models of Kindle offered by Amazon: the Kindle, Kindle Kids Edition, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, Kindle Paperwhite Kids Edition, and Kindle Oasis. Here’s how they break down.
What is the difference in all the Kindles?
The main difference is how sharp it is, as while the basic Kindle’s screen is 167 pixels per inch, the Paperwhite is 300 pixels per inch, so text looks crisper and closer to how it would appear printed on paper. The difference is most noticeable when reading comics and the like though.
What is the difference between Kindle Paperwhite 10th generation 2018 and 2019?
There is no 2019 version. The last paperwhite model was in 2018. The 2019 version is essentially a Paperwhite SE, while also being slightly lighter but with less PPI & no waterproofing. There have been new colors released in 2019 and some just last week but they’re still the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite.
Is it worth upgrading to Kindle Paperwhite?
Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition review: The upgrade is worth the money. It’s the best e-reader out there, and it’s not much pricier than the regular Kindle Paperwhite. All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers.
Should I turn off my Kindle when not in use?
Unless you are subscribed to periodicals that you want to receive overnight, we recommend turning wireless off (Press the Menu button and select “Turn Wireless Off” of the menu options) before leaving the device in sleep mode. This will further conserve battery power.

Users will still be able to make purchases on the Amazon website and send them to their Kindle, and your existing e-book library will still be accessible on these older Kindles. This means that the devices won’t go completely obsolete and you will still be able to use your old Kindles for reading.
Can you read a Paperwhite in the dark?
As you know, the current Kindle Paperwhite model features a Dark Mode toggle in the quick menu. You can invert the colors of the background and text to better suit the nighttime reading.
