I agree. It would still be a significant upgrade and it wouldn’t be cost prohibitive.

I think it would be a really good decision on Amazon's part.

Yes, I agree. I just meant that I hoped they’d go for a better screen even though I know they likely wouldn’t ever do that. This still a major upgrade though.

The 3 isn't exactly using a 'new' screen either and I would bet that the new Basic will at least use a Carta screen, which I believe is the same as the PW3. If anything, the Basic seems to be a PW3 with a lot more storage. It also might have a better processor, and if not, it surely won't have a worse one.
Kindles aren't for me, but Amazon's last two releases have really knocked it out of the park. Kindles before often felt a generation behind. Good for them.

The PW3 screen isn’t be new, but it’s still a very good choice for this new Basic I’m still new to eReaders, but I’m not new to eReading. I’ve had 4 Kindles since May 2019. Three of them have all been Basics. I had the 10th Gen and loved it. If the 11th Gen PW didn’t exist I’d upgrade to this new Basic. I totally agree with you on Amazon really doing nailing these last two releases.
