Refurbished Kindle Paperwhite Drops to $115 in Amazon Sale

A refurbished Kindle Paperwhite is on sale

Amazon is selling a refurbished 2024 Kindle Paperwhite for $114.99. That’s a $29 discount from its typical refurbished price of $143.99.

A brand-new model of the same e-reader costs $159.99. This “Like-New” sale is part of Amazon’s early Presidents’ Day promotions.

Why the Paperwhite is a top pick

The Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon’s most popular reading tablet. PCMag gave the 2024 model an “outstanding” review, calling it the best e-reader for most people.

Key improvements over the 2021 model include a larger seven-inch display and significantly faster performance. It retains core features from the previous generation.

• Fully waterproof design with an IPX8 rating
• Storage for over 10,000 books
• Unlimited cloud storage
• Up to 12 weeks of battery life

Display and reading features

The device has a 300 ppi glare-free screen. It offers 16 levels of adjustable brightness and warm lighting for nighttime reading.

The warm light setting is designed to reduce eye strain. Bluetooth compatibility allows users to pair the Kindle with headphones for audiobooks.

Consider your upgrade and alternatives

If you own an 11th-generation Paperwhite from 2021, the upgrades may not be substantial enough to warrant a new purchase. Owners of older models, however, will notice major improvements in speed and display quality.

For readers who want color, Amazon’s Kindle Colorsoft is a better choice for comics and manga. The Paperwhite Signature Edition offers an ad-free experience and additional premium features.
