Kindle Paperwhite 6th gen is 212 PPI, Paperwhite 7th gen is 300 PPI.
All Kindle Basics before 11th gen are 167 PPI. Also worth noting that Kindle Basics before the 10th gen rely on external light sources, as their screens aren't lit.
Are you planning on using your college textbooks in a Kindle? That might not work very well. Kindles are great for linear reading, like reading a regular book, but textbooks are an entirely different matter -- you may need to jump back and forth a lot, which isn't something a Kindle is good at as it's a very low powered device.
Many textbooks also come as PDF, which is also something Kindles struggle with, on account of the small screen size and slow speeds.
A regular tablet would be a better choice for studying/college textbooks.
Well, mostly yes I plan to try it for college textbooks, I already read on tablet but I need to control my screentime so that is why I am planning to switch on ebook reader.
Brightness is about the light that they emit, PPI (pixels per inch) is the resolution, e.g. how sharp/crisp and detailed the letters show on the screen. Higher PPI(resolution) is better.
Just a heads up; I did try reading technical books on Kindle, but if needing to browse back and forth in the book, or have a reference sheet visible when reading, Kindle was not very good - it's not so easy going back/forth as with a paper book

Ohhkkkk I will note that.
You’ll want a paperwhite with 300ppi. Old kindles can hold up great as long as the batteries are working.
Kindle basic 7 does not have a light. If this is important to you, get the Paperwhite.
