I have all three Paperwhites and I used to have the original Kindle Touch, which is their predecessor. The Paperwhites are all enough different from the Touch that it's kind of pointless to compare them. I haven't had my Touch for a while so I can't give a point by point comparison but, of course, it didn't have a light and that's a huge difference.
Among the Paperwhites the 8th generation latest Paperwhite is nearly identical to the 7th generation except that it has a higher resolution screen. I personally can't tell the difference but many people can. Also some of the 7th generation Paperwhites only had 2 gig storage. The later 7th generation and all the 8th generation Paperwhites have 4 gig. I think I'm right about that.
The 6th generation Paperwhite is noticeably slower than the later ones. Also the 6th generation hasn't received the last few updates so it doesn't have a few of the newer features. I read with all three of these and they're all just fine but I prefer the later two because they're faster. The light on the later two is also more even. Once I'm reading, though, none of that really matters. I get absorbed in the book and I don't really care which one I'm using.
I also have a Voyage, which has a couple of extra features but I keep those turned off so they have the same interface as the most recent Paperwhite models but it feels a lot different in my hand, being smaller and lighter.
