It's crazy when you think how good the screens/lighting on the Kobo Glo HD, Aura HD & H2O were that Kobo have really went backwards since.

The paperwhite from 2015 was 300 PPI as well. The flush screen is hardly a new technology it’s been around for years so it’s not really a major change here. Same goes for waterproofing.
The big new feature is audiobooks which is really just an extension of the text to voice that was available on the 2015 paperwhite.
Seriously the new one is the old one slightly polished but not really anything innovative.
