It’s time for another Dealmaster! Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a new sale on Amazon’s Kindle e-readers. The deals include the newest Kindle Paperwhite marked down to $105, which is the lowest price we’ve seen to date and matches the deal we saw on Black Friday.
As a refresher, we gave the Kindle Paperwhite a rave review when it launched last fall, calling it the best Kindle—and thus the best e-reader—for most people. There’s no need to upgrade if you’re happy with a previous Kindle, but compared to its predecessor, the 11th-gen Paperwhite has a more spacious display (now at 6.8 inches [17 cm] instead of 6 inches [15 cm]), a USB-C port, a better frontlight, more consistently responsive performance, and improved battery life (which Amazon rates at roughly 10 weeks per charge). It’s still waterproof, and if you can live with Amazon’s locked-down ecosystem, the Kindle library remains extensive. This offer includes three months of Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited e-book service, too, though note that this will auto-renew by default.
The sale also brings the Kids version of the Kindle Paperwhite down to $115. That’s only $5 higher than the best price we’ve tracked. While this variant is marketed to younger readers, it features the same hardware as the standard Paperwhite, plus a case, a longer two-year warranty (compared to one with the standard model), and no ads on its home page or lock screen (which costs an extra $20 otherwise). The base Kindle Kids e-reader, which is discounted to $65 today, may be the better value for most children, but the Paperwhite Kids model may be worth it for those willing pay a little extra.
