It’s not often I find sales on the Kindle Paperwhite, especially the newest version—but right now, the 12th Gen, 2024 “like-New” 16GB Kindle Paperwhite is $106.99 (originally $143.99). That’s the lowest price this device has ever been, according to price-tracking tools . These deals on used Kindles usually sell out fast, so get one sooner rather than later if you’re interested.
The Kindle Paperwhite is the most popular reading tablet from Amazon , and it’s the best for most people, according to PCMag’s “outstanding” review . It offers many improvements over the 11th-generation version from 2021—mainly a larger 7-inch display and a much faster boost in performance. It still retains all of the great attributes that made the previous version great, like a fully waterproof design with an IPX8 rating, enough storage to hold more than 10,000 books (not that anyone can read that many), and unlimited cloud storage.
If you’re not sure if this is the right Kindle for you, you can see if the Colorsoft version is a better fit for you. It offers color, so it can make reading manga or comics more lively. We also have a breakdown of every kind of Kindle to help you make a good decision. If you already own the 11th generation, there might not be enough here to warrant an upgrade, unless you really just want the latest Amazon has to offer. However, any devices older than that may be worth an upgrade for features like Bluetooth compatibility, which is great for audiobooks.
The screen features a 300 ppi (pixels per inch) display with 16 levels of background lighting, and optional warm lighting as well. I use this feature a lot to read before bed and not strain my (or my partner’s) eyes. I also love the absurdly long battery life. This one is estimated at up to 12 weeks on a single charge, depending on your use and brightness settings.
