Amazon’s last-gen Paperwhite is on sale for less than the entry-level Kindle
The Verge • • technology
Key Points:
- The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is currently on sale at Woot for $99.99, $40 off its original price, available with ads, 16GB storage, and a 90-day warranty until June 14th or while supplies last.
- This last-gen Paperwhite remains a top e-reader choice due to its waterproof design, sharp 300ppi display, adjustable warm front light, and excellent battery life lasting months on a single charge.
- Although the latest Paperwhite offers a larger 7-inch display, better performance, and longer battery life, it costs $159.99, making the 2021 model a more affordable and still highly capable option.
- The 2021 Paperwhite’s 6.8-inch display and responsiveness make it a great value, especially for those primarily reading Kindle books who do not require the newest upgrades.
