    How to Tell What Kindle Model You Have - How-To

    The easiest way to find which Kindle model you have is by looking in Settings > Device Options > Device Info. In the past, this menu didn't show the full device name, and you'd need to look up the serial number to find that out. Thankfully, Amazon made the process easier.

    First, select the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner of the home screen and select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.

    How-To Geek

    If, for some reason, your Kindle does not show its name on the "Device Info" pop-up, you can use the serial number to figure it out.

    To check the serial number on the device itself, go to your Kindle's home page and tap the three-dot menu in the top right to open the menu. Select "Settings" in the menu.

    Tap "Device Options" on the Settings screen.

    Tap "Device Info."

    Under "Serial Number," you'll see a string of letters and numbers. You only need to look for the first chunk of digits, which corresponds to the Kindle model.

    In this case, the part we need is "G000PP." So we can take that number and do a quick web search for "Kindle G000" to find out the full model name, which happens to be the Kindle Paperwhite 4th Edition.
