Credit: Rene Ramos Table of Contents It's not often I find sales on the Kindle Paperwhite, especially the latest version—but right now, Best Buy has the 2024 16GB Kindle Paperwhite on sale for $124.99 (originally $159.99) and the 32 GB Kindle Paperwhite for $144.99 (originally $199.99). That's the lowest price the e-reader has ever been, according to price-tracking tools. The Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader for most people, according to PC Mag. It offers many improvements over the 11th-generation version from 2021—mainly a larger seven-inch display and a much faster boost in performance. It still retains all of the great attributes that made the previous version great, like a fully waterproof design with an IPX8 rating, enough storage to hold more than 10,000 books, and unlimited cloud storage. If you want an ad-free experience with some better features, get the Signature Edition, which, for $20 more, also doubles your storage.If you're not sure if this is the right Kindle for you, check out the Colorsoft version—it offers color, so it can make reading manga or comics more lively. We also have a breakdown of every kind of Kindle to help you decide. If you already own the 11th generation, there might not be enough here to warrant an upgrade. However, any devices older than that may be worth an upgrade for features like Bluetooth compatibility, which is great for audiobooks. What do you think so far? The screen features a 300 ppi (pixels per inch) display with 16 levels of background lighting, and optional warm lighting as well. I also love the absurdly long battery life. This one is estimated at up to 12 weeks on a single charge, depending on your use and brightness settings.
