Not sure about difference between 2016 and 2018 model but if you buy the kindle yourself, do note that Amazon USA has very good service and warranty support. If your kindle is spoilt (touch wood), you can contact Amazon USA for help. A few years ago my kindle screen was spoilt and i contacted their CS. Sent back the old kindle and they sent me a new one (dunno refurbished or not... it looks new :s13:) and reimbursed me my shipping charges. I don't think you are able to do that if you buy from Amazon Japan unless you know the language?

Thank you tofubean! After your explanation I have the impulse to purchase 1 immediately! 😁

Is ezbuy still reliable? Amazon can ship to them?

Do I need to tell ezbuy to repack smaller?

Lost touch, long time never buy from Amazon but may need a Paperwhite soon.

The last generation better.
The new generation got a lot of reflections.

first timer here thinking of getting a kindle. i do read on the go and it's only for that. would the paperwhite 2019 be an overkill? i also read graphic novels which seems the kindle is not the best way to read those due to it's non-color screen. anyone can advise would getting a tablet (7") be better? i already have an ipad pro 10.5 but it's just too big to take out and read it in public.

Amazon USA don't ship directly to Singapore. I'm using ezbuy's ship-for-me service.

It's good for eyes as Kindle electronic ink technology is close to normal ink on paper. Definitely many times better with less eyes strain than looking at a typically bright tablet LCD screen.

Kindle Oasis is 7"...It will be better than reading on a 7" tablet...If you don't mind reading graphic novels in Black and White like reading manga, I think Oasis will fit your requirement more than the Paperwhite....
