There’s really no better way to read on vacation (or any other time, for that matter) than with a Kindle Paperwhite. This device offers a near-identical reading experience to paper books, except you don’t have to lug around your massive TBR stack anymore.
If you don’t have an e-reader yet and you’re ready to dive in, or if you have an unimpressive one and you’re ready to upgrade to one of the best, you can grab the Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle for just $178.53 now. (Down from $211.97, that’s 15% off.)
The on-sale bundle features the 16GB model of the Kindle Paperwhite, a gorgeous leather cover that automatically wakes and sleeps the device when opening and closing, and a power adapter so you can charge your device whenever it runs out of juice.
The Kindle Paperwhite features a flush-front design and a 300 PPI glare-free display that mimics real paper—even in bright sunlight.
In our review of the Kindle Paperwhite, we gave it 4 out of 5 stars and loved the large screen, long battery life, even front lighting, and multitude of cool and warm tones to choose from.
“The Paperwhite carries on the previous version’s IPX8 rating, and so it can be submerged in up to two meters of fresh water for 60 minutes without harm. It lasts only 3 minutes against 25cm of salt water, though,” our review notes. Basically, you can read while taking a bubble bath, sitting by the pool, or chilling by the sea without worrying too much about accidental dives.
I have an older version, but even that one’s still going strong after many years and many completed books. The improved lighting and the IPX8 waterproof rating are some of the reasons why I’d want to upgrade, and at this price, it’s a fantastic opportunity to do so.
Don’t miss out on the chance to get everything you need with the Kindle Paperwhite bundle for a great price of $178.53 at Amazon.
