If it is the first Paperwhite (5th generation), then it does not support ‘Enhanced Typography’ (and related features like Page Flip). Later Kindles also have more fonts and font options, and ability to side load fonts. The same line spacing and margin settings exist, but you can choose between justified and ragged right alignment (for titles that support ET).

So I would really recommend a new Kindle. Even the entry level one (I think it is $49 Black Friday price currently) will be much better than the PW1.
