There’s no better way to read nowadays than with a Kindle. Sure, having a physical book in your hands has its special appeal, but lugging multiple books around when you’re out and about — say, on a commute — isn’t the easiest or most convenient thing to do.
Thankfully, this early Black Friday deal has slashed the prices on Amazon’s newest Kindle down to $85 (23 percent off) and the newest Kindle Paperwhite down to $130 (19 percent off). Both were released this year, making these the best-ever prices so far.
The Paperwhite is larger than the regular Kindle, with a 7-inch display (compared to the Kindle’s 6-inch display) and built-in adjustable warm light. The device is also waterproof and features a full-front design. While the regular Kindle also allows you to adjust screen brightness levels, the Paperwhite features more LEDs, meaning better lighting control.
I personally switched to the Paperwhite over a decade ago and have continued to upgrade to newer models as they come out, and I don’t plan on going back. There are only two real reasons to opt for a basic Kindle over the Paperwhite: either you’re on a tight budget or you prefer the compact, travel-friendly size with smaller screen.
If you’re considering the Paperwhite, you might also want to consider the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition that’s down to $155 (23 percent off), which also released this year and is currently at its best-ever price. This one has double the storage space and wireless charging.
Lastly, if you want an e-reader for your kids, the newest Kindle Kids is down to $95 (27 percent off) and the newest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is down to $140 (22 percent off). Both come with one year of Amazon Kids+ with thousands of age-appropriate ebooks and graphic novels, and both have two-year worry-free guarantees where Amazon will replace them if they break for any reason, no questions asked.
This is the best Black Friday for bookworms, young and old. Don’t miss this chance to equip yourself with one (or more) of these Kindles at the lowest prices they’ve ever been.
