USB-C on the newer Paperwhites (and base Kindles? IDK if those changed over yet), in case you just want all your (portable) gear to be USB-C.

What is extremely annoying is people constantly and universally lauding the Kindle for Kids option, when it is only offered in the US. Or, at least, its barely offered in the EU.

I replaced the USB port on my older kindle with a USB-C port when I did the same for a bunch of devices. Not an option for everyone but if you have the time and patience (and a little skill) I highly recommend it.
Those USB-C to microUSB adapters are handy, I keep one in my backpack since my camera and some other things are microUSB.
