It fits. Thank you! I'm just a little puzzled by barryem's elaborate answer about screen qualities and storage sizes, when I explicitly highlighted in the title that I'm asking about software.

You know, I'm just a casual e-reader. I go to Amazon.com and Wikipedia, and I don't see ant 8th generation Paperwhite device there. So for me, it was case closed.

That's really nice, but how should outsiders know about your insider lingo? Is it acceptable if they just use the term as non-initiated people would do, that is, gathering their information from mainstream sources, such as Amazon and Wikipedia?

I guess it depends on your country.

I realize this is kind of a very geeky question, and possibly it's hard to get the details right at first. Even if at the first try I highlighted in the title that I'm interested in the software size of things, I get this nice answer on the hardware... It's not easy! Hence, I iterate.
