The Paperwhite is Amazon’s mid-tier Kindle, and it’s the perfect choice for most people. It has a high-resolution 6.8-inch display, can last several weeks between charges, and 16GB of storage, which is enough space to hold several hundred books. Its front-lit screen has 17 LEDs, so you can read comfortably in the dark, and there’s a warm light mode to adjust its tone to be easier on your eyes in dim settings. If you’re a beach reader, you’ll appreciate the Kindle Paperwhite’s IPX8 rating, which means it’s waterproof. Whether you’re an existing Kindle reader who wants to upgrade, or someone looking for their first eReader, don’t miss this deal.
