I've owned a second-gen original-flavor Kindle (2009), a Kindle Keyboard 3G (2012), a 6th-Gen Paperwhite (2013), and a 7th-Gen Paperwhite (2017, my current Kindle).
The Kindle Keyboard was definitely a big improvement over the earlier design, but the only thing I miss is its pageturn buttons, and I wouldn't sacrifice the Paperwhite's built-in frontlight to get them back—especially not when paired with a touchscreen that makes navigation and highlighting infinitely easier than a D-pad. (I literally didn't even use the highlight feature until I got my first Paperwhite; now I use it pretty frequently.) The old lighted cover was nice, but it really doesn't hold a candle to the build-in light. While 3G connectivity was a feature I aggressively sought out in earlier models, since switching to WiFi-only, I found I haven't once missed it. And the speakers I used exactly once, when I tried using the auto-narration feature while doing some cleaning, and it was so jarring I stopped after maybe 5 minutes.
They all have a different feel to them. The only one I have ever liked is the Kindle Paperwhite, current generation HERE. I've enjoyed using my mom's B & N "Nook" device before, but found it distracting. I also don't like full color and have read the studies that show plain black and white eReaders increase how much people read, but the cheap tablet color type don't.
With the paperwhite I have that nice screen, crisp custom font, high contrast, fast processor, and that perfectly adjustable backlight which has 20 very fine-tunable settings. Mine is one of the models with the page turning glitch, so on some days it will turn two pages at once, but even then I love it so much. So much.
I lay awake reading it.
Best purchase ever.
Even better, you can get the "Without Special Offers" version of the Paperwhite 3 for the same price. ($79.99)

I love my Paperwhite. Don't see myself switching anytime soon. Also, looks like the Paperwhite without the ads is available and in stock.
