The 11th Generation Kindle Paperwhite Is Now Under $100
If you’ve been looking to purchase an e-reader for the first time, this Kindle Paperwhite deal on Woot might be worth a look, especially if you don’t mind using the product sparingly. This is a 2021 11th generation model , refurbished to Grade A condition, starting at $89.99 for the 16GB version and $109.99 for the 32GB versions. You can get another $5 off using code FIREFIVE at checkout, but only until April 29th—or while they sell out.
These are refurbished units and may show slight signs of wear. But Wuth says they’ve all been tested and proven to work like new, and each comes with a 90-day limited warranty. However, if you want the latest model, the 2024 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is available for $159.99. Read its detailed review to compare it to the 2021 model and see which one better suits your needs.
PCMag awarded this model the best eBook reader of 2021 , as well as an Editors’ Choice award . What you get here is an e-reader with a 6.8-inch glare-free screen (330 pixels per inch) that uses e-ink technology so it feels like you’re reading on paper. Plus, it’s easier on the eyes with a warm light setting that adapts to the environment. Compared to older models, this one reportedly offers more text on the page, a flatter, smudge-resistant front panel, and a brighter display for daylight reading. It’s also IPX8 waterproof , meaning you can read in the bath, by the pool, or on the beach.
These versions, like most Kindles, show ads on the lock screen unless you pay an extra fee to remove them later. The design itself is lightweight and easy to use, weighing just over seven ounces. It uses USB-C for charging, although Amazon only includes a cable and not a power supply in the box. In terms of storage, the 16GB model should be enough for thousands of e-books, while the 32GB version adds space for audiobooks and PDFs. It supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, but cannot connect to peer-to-peer networks.
