For those who love to read, Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite has received its first price drop of the year, making this highly-rated e-reader more affordable than ever. Normally priced at $149.99, you can now purchase the 16GB version with lock screen ads for just $124.99, a solid $25 savings available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
The Kindle Paperwhite stands out for its exceptional, distraction-free reading experience. It features a sharp 7-inch E ink display with a high 300 pixels per inch resolution, ensuring text appears crisp and clear. You can customize the screen’s brightness and color temperature to suit any lighting condition, reducing eye strain during long reading sessions. With enough internal storage for thousands of books, the device boasts an impressive battery life that can stretch up to twelve weeks on a single charge, though this varies with usage and backlight settings. While ebooks take up very little space, storing numerous audiobooks will fill the storage faster; you can listen to them by pairing Bluetooth headphones or a speaker.
Durability is another key advantage, especially for readers who enjoy a good book near water. The Paperwhite carries an IPX8 waterproof rating, meaning it can survive accidental submersion, so you can read worry-free by the pool or in the bath. The lock screen ads, which only appear when the device is asleep and never interrupt your reading, are quite unobtrusive. However, if you prefer a completely ad-free experience, that model is also discounted to $144.99, saving you $35.
For users seeking even more premium features, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is available at an all-time low price of $149.99, a full $50 off. This upgraded model comes without ads, offers double the storage at 32GB, supports wireless charging, and includes an auto-adjusting front light that adapts to your environment. You can find this deal at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target (the latter requiring a Target Circle membership).
Beyond the Paperwhite, Amazon’s Prime Day event has discounted other models in the Kindle lineup. The entry-level Kindle Colorsoft, which features a color display, and the large-screen 2024 Kindle Scribe are also available at reduced prices for a limited time.
