Paperwhite 3 is only available with 4GB storage (more like 3GB), unless you can track down Japanese model that was available with 32MB, and it has no waterproofing. Also no Invert Black and White feature, Bluetooth or Audible support (does support VoiceView via USB dongle). Paperwhite 10th gen starts out with 8GB with 32GB available.

Dictionary support goes along with the firmware version. So both my 8th gen Kindle and 10th gen Paperwhite have the same number of dictionaries available (60 which includes some handful I’ve purchased). My 7th gen Paperwhite is on loan so I cannot check it presently, but pretty sure it will have the same 60.
