Want to get some reading done over the last few weeks of summer? Now would be a good time to pick up a shiny new Kindle from Amazon.
The 8GB Kindle Paperwhite is currently on sale for just $79.99, a savings of $50. Or you can grab the 32GB model for just $99.99, which is $60 off the usual price. Those are among the best Amazon deals we’ve seen this month.
In our Kindle Paperwhite review, we rated the Paperwhite as the best Kindle for most people, because of its smooth 300 ppi screen and a backlight to be able to read in the dark. As well as that, the fact that it’s waterproof is a great feature. You can also connect headphones or a speaker via Bluetooth, and listen along to audiobooks from Audible while you read.
The current sale going on means that the Paperwhite is only $15 more than the original Kindle, so it’s not too much more to shell out for the higher screen resolution and the great backlight. Of course, if you don’t mind not having these features, the original Kindle will still serve your reading needs well.
