There's only one good reason to upgrade an old Kindle and it's not screen size

Description

If you're anything like me, you hang onto your old devices far longer than you ever thought you would. I recently made the leap from a OnePlus 8 Pro to a Google Pixel 9a, and I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. I grabbed a Kindle several years ago as part of a Prime Day deal, and while there's nothing wrong with how it works, there's a big upgrade looming for me. I have a base model Kindle, so moving to a Paperwhite makes a lot of sense. However, I'm perfectly fine with the current lighting on the base models, and the upgrade I'm looking for has nothing to do with the screen. I want USB-C.
