Upgrading from the PW3 - is it worth it?

Hi all,

I own a PW3 that I bought back in 2016, to use exclusively with my Japanese Amazon account. The reader has seen very little use since then as I switched to reading in Japanese on my tablet/PC, which was way more convenient considering the number of dictionary lookups I was doing.

I've recently started using it again as I would like to go back to reading in Japanese using an ereader; it still works fine and holds a decent charge considering its age (I kept charging it periodically), but it's not the quickest. As I still do a fair amont of dictionary lookups and highlights, I was wondering if the improvement in processing power in recent Kindles makes replacing it actually worth it? Keep in mind that I wouldn't want to spend a fortune on it as it is not my main ereader (I'm also looking at used devices). Also, I've read complaints in the past from Kindle users regarding the screen quality of the recent Paperwhites: this is very important to me as I read at small font sizes, and the text needs to be quite crisp (it's even more important for Japanese due to furigana), so this has made me worried about eventually buying a newer edition Paperwhite.

What do you guys think? Any help is appreciated
