Amazon's last-generation Kindle Paperwhite is currently 30 percent off, making it a more affordable option compared to the newer model. While the newer version boasts faster book opening times and a thinner aluminum design, it comes at a higher price. The 2024 edition maintains the excellent 300ppi screen, an auto-adjusting front light, and a waterproof (IPX8) design, which are all also present in the discounted Signature Edition.
This version of the Kindle Paperwhite, which is discounted down to $169.99 from an original price of $249.99, comes with additional features such as no lockscreen ads, double the storage (32GB), and the ability for wireless charging. The Signature Edition can be purchased at major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
Meanwhile, the standard Paperwhite is priced at $149.99, down from its previous $199.99, but lacks storage capacity, wireless charging, and lockscreen ads.
