Amazon Sale: Kindle Paperwhite Now $100

Looking for a new e-reader? Amazon’s latest discounts on Kindles might have just what you need at a lower-than-expected price. The Kindle Paperwhite, in particular, is on sale for £100, which is only £5 more than its record-low price.

It’s also the same price as the standard Kindle, which doesn’t have as many extra features as the Paperwhite. While Engadget did not review the Paperwhite, they did test the Paperwhite Signature Edition, which is only different thanks to its auto-adjusting front light, higher storage capacity, and wireless charging capabilities. However, they believe that you should get a very similar experience with the regular Paperwhite, and it should be a great one.

The latest version of Amazon’s ubiquitous e-reader has a 6.8-inch, 300 ppi glare-free screen with 17 front LEDs, including a new adjustable warm light that will make it easier to read in dark environments (and after a full day of staring at a computer screen). The design of the Paperwhite hasn’t changed drastically over the years, but Amazon has refined it. This model’s screen is flush with its bezels, giving it a cleaner look, and it’s also IPX8-rated, so it won’t be in danger if it takes an accidental dunk in the pool or bathtub.

This Paperwhite also has Audible support, so if you have audiobooks through the Amazon-owned outlet, you can listen to them directly from your Kindle as long as you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones to do so. It’s worth mentioning that the Kids version of the Paperwhite is also on sale for £110, and Engadget sometimes recommends this model even for adults. You’re getting the same hardware as the non-kids model, along with a longer warranty and a protective case.

The Kids version is also touted to have no ads, but that’s only if you stick to the kid-friendly UI that’s preinstalled on the e-reader. Another device included in this sale is the new Kindle Scribe, which is down to a new all-time-low price of £290. The Scribe is Amazon’s first jump into the e-ink tablet space, and the model on sale includes 16GB of storage and a basic pen.

As a tablet, the Scribe is a basic but fairly well-executed device: there’s little to no latency when writing on the display, there are a decent number of brush options to choose from, and you can organize multiple notebooks pretty easily. As an e-reader, it’s a little on the large size with its 10.3-inch display, but the screen is crisp and responsive, and Engadget likes the wider side bezel that makes the device easier to grip. You can’t actually take notes in the margins of Kindle books on the Scribe, but you can add sticky notes to your books and jot down ideas that way.

And if you like the idea of keeping your notes on the same device that holds most of your reading material, the Scribe will be a good option for you. That goes for those who have big Kindle e-book libraries, but also those who have PDFs and ePUBs they want to mark up, too, as the Scribe supports a number of different file types.
