I’m not sure why, but suddenly there are only 8 days left until Christmas, and the window for ordering presents online has become very narrow. So if, like me, you’ve been procrastinating a little this year (OK, every year), now’s the time to take action and buy some great holiday presents. Luckily, there are great deals on devices that not only make great gifts, but also arrive before Santa departs from the North Pole. These deals include the new 16GB Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which is reduced from $160 to $135, a 16% discount. However, being on time is only guaranteed if you are a Prime member.
The price drop makes this 2024 model just $5 more than it was priced during Black Friday. It has a 7-inch screen and the highest contrast of any Kindle. The Paperwhite model is also waterproof, and Amazon says page turning is 25% faster. Lasts up to 12 weeks on a single charge. This sale is available on versions without Kindle unlimited and includes ads.

Amazon also released the new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which is a premium version of the basic Paperwhite model. We gave it an 85 in our review thanks to its excellent touch response, warm auto-adjusting front light, and overall premium feel. However, we don’t think any of its perks are essential, and the $200 price tag is a significant increase.
