Kindle Paperwhite goes on sale before Prime Big Deal Days

One can never read too many books, but one can definitely own too many books. If your shelves are getting full, you may be considering an e-reader. And as it turns out, we came across a fantastic offer on one while looking through Amazon deals

For a limited time, you’ll be able to order the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for $210. At full price, this model sells for $265. 

Why you should buy the Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon’s Kindle is an O.G. e-reader with numerous models available. The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the smaller and more barebones options of the lineup, but fewer bells and whistles equals fewer reading distractions, right? This being the Signature Edition, you’ll also get wireless charging, a touchscreen that responds to ambient lighting, and up to 32GB of storage. 

According to Amazon, the Paperwhite Signature should last up to 10 weeks on a full charge. Wireless charging isn’t the fastest method, though, which is why it’s good this model also includes a USB-C port. Do you like doing a lot of your reading at night? The Paperwhite screen features warm light adjustments, too, so you’ll be able to read comfortably come nightfall. 

With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you’ll have access to thousands of books, magazines, and other publications. You’ll even be able to enjoy titles hands-free when you sign up for an Audible subscription and connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones. We’re also pleased to report that the Paperwhite Signature is IPX8-rated, which means it can survive an accidental puddle drop. 

This e-reader isn’t on sale very often, and we’re not sure when it’s going to be this cheap again. Now could be the best time to save. 

Own the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for $210 when you order on Amazon, and be sure to check out some of the other Kindle deals we found. You should also take a look at some of these early Amazon October Big Deal Day savings!

Prime Day 2024 featured deals and discounts from many renowned consumer tech brands, with Apple leading the charge on several key promotions. While both MacBook and iPads received markdowns, one of the best deals we saw was for the Apple Watch SE 2. We’ve been tracking the SE 2’s price ever since Prime Day wrapped up, and the smartwatch finally hit its lowest price since the two-day Amazon extravaganza:

Right now, you can order the Apple Watch SE 2 through Amazon for just $190. At full price, this unit sells for $250. The lowest-recorded price for the SE 2 (thanks to Prime Day sales) was $170.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is still at its Prime Day price
Apps page on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6.

It's been a couple of weeks since the Samsung Galaxy deals of Prime Day ended, but don't tell that to Amazon, which is still selling the 40mm Bluetooth version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 for only $200. That's how much it was going for during the shopping event, so we're not sure if this $100 discount on the wearable device's original price of $300 is a generous offer or simply a mistake. Either way, you probably have limited time to take advantage of this bargain, so if you're interested, complete your purchase for the smartwatch right now.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
The arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 doesn't make the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 obsolete -- in fact, it even makes the previous-generation version a better purchase if you can get it with a discount. Our Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 versus Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 comparison reveals that outside of the upgraded processor and a few new health features, there's no huge reason to go for the latest version of the smartwatch.
