Amazon's 2021 Kindle Paperwhite is available for under $100, offering a larger 6.8-inch display and water resistance at a discounted price. The device is on sale at Woot for $99.99, $40 less than its original price, until June 14th or while supplies last.
Features and Specifications
Despite being a few years old, the last-generation Paperwhite remains competitive with current models. It features a sharp 300ppi display, adjustable warm front light for comfortable nighttime reading, and a USB-C port for charging. The battery life is impressive, often lasting months on a single charge.
Comparison with Latest Model
The current Paperwhite model offers slightly better performance, a larger seven-inch display, and improved battery life, priced at $159.99. However, for most users, the 2021 version provides sufficient performance and value. Its 6.8-inch display remains spacious, especially against the entry-level Kindle.
Why Choose the 2021 Paperwhite?
The waterproof feature makes it ideal for reading by the pool or beach, a significant advantage over the entry-level Kindle. At $99.99, it's a cost-effective option for consumers prioritizing durability and display size over the latest features.
The sale includes a model with ads, 16GB of storage, and a 90-day Woot warranty, making it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade or purchase their first e-reader.
