The Latest Kindle Paperwhite Is 32% Off on October Prime Day
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are here, and while everything from Pelotons to laptops are on sale, the best Prime Day deals are always available on Amazon’s own devices. Nothing will change in October: right now you can get the latest Kindle Paperwhite for $94.99 (regularly $139.99)—the lowest price all year and the best deal of any Kindle e-reader currently on Prime Big Deal Days discounts apply. .
Best Deal for Kindle eBooks
The Kindle Paperwhite is an 8GB version of the black and white e-reader. It includes ads and doesn’t include a trial of Kindle Unlimited, although you can change those options and still get a good discount (for example, you can double the storage to 16GB for just $5). Keep in mind that unless you plan to load audiobooks onto the Paperwhite, 8GB will be enough for most people, as it can hold over 3,000 books.
The biggest benefit for me is the extended battery life of this model. I bought it back when it was released in 2021 and can count the number of times I’ve charged it in my hands. The battery lasts for an impressive 10 weeks of reading, depending on brightness and other settings. I love the feature that allows you to schedule the screen tint to warmer light and use it with dark mode at the same time, allowing me to read in bed without disturbing my partner and giving my eyes a break from blue light. The anti-glare screen is also useful when reading outdoors. It also has an IPX8 rating, which means if it gets wet, it won’t be a big deal if you like to read in the bath. If waterproofing and temperature-controlled light aren’t a big deal to you, you can save $20 and buy a standard Kindle for $75 .
Save on a kit if you need accessories
I never buy a Kindle without a case. Prime Big Deal Days packages are also currently on sale. For example, you can get a 16GB Paperwhite with an official case and power adapter for $130.97 (down from $204.97). Official Kindle cases typically cost $35, which is the same price as the bundle, but you’ll also get a power adapter if you need one. Shop all Kindle Prime Big Deal Days deals.
