FWIW, the main difference between the Kindle basic 7 and current Kindle Basic 8 is that it is slightly heavier and thicker. Kindle 7 also does not have bluetooth to enable whispersync playback or text-to-speech. Otherwise, they have the same software. Neither has a light.
Edited to add: Kindle 8 also has voiceview to enable blind users to use the unit. I forgot since I don't use this feature (yet). Last edited by Tarana; 06-19-2018 at 05:19 PM. |

The Kindle 8th Generation also has 512 MB RAM as compared to the 7th Generations 256 MB RAM (same amount of storage, this OS RAM). Probably needed to support the Bluetooth features.
