The Kindle Paperwhite is still on sale for the holidays — save $25 while you still can
SAVE $25: As of Dec. 23, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is on sale for $134.99 instead of $159.99. That's a savings of 16% or $25 and about $10 shy of its best price ever.
Mashable shopping reporter Sam Mangino has tested every Kindle device and the Kindle Paperwhite constantly comes out on top. "It's "as good as an e-reader can get," she writes. Ahead of the big day on Dec. 25, you can pick one up for $10 shy of its best price ever.
As of Dec. 23, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is down to $134.99 from its list price of $159.99. That's $25 or 16% in savings. While we did see it drop even lower on Black Friday, this is still a really solid discount — and its second-best price all year.
Though I'm a major fangirl of the basic Kindle (and highly recommend it!), the Kindle Paperwhite is definitely the "better" device on paper. It's the fastest model yet and turns pages without stuttering or slowing down. The vibrant seven-inch display includes adjustable brightness and warmth to make reading in any condition easy on the eyes. And the real kicker is that it's waterproof (unlike the basic Kindle) — a pretty major reason why it lands in the top spot on our best e-reader's list.
Though it's a bit bigger than the basic Kindle, it's still small enough to slide comfortably in a purse. And just like every Kindle device, its battery life is bonkers at about 12 weeks per charge.
Unfortunately, you can only get delivery before Christmas in some locations. But saving $25 justifies waiting an extra day or two in my eyes. Snag the Paperwhite for only $134.99 while this deal is still live.
