That\u2019s because, unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Amazon-Kindle\/dp\/B0CNV9F72P\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon\u2019s latest entry-level Kindle<\/a>, the last-gen Paperwhite is waterproof. And now through June 14th (or while supplies last), it\u2019s on sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/electronics.woot.com\/offers\/new-kindle-paperwhite-2021-release-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Woot<\/a> with ads, 16GB of storage, and a 90-day Woot warranty for $99.99, which is $40 off its original price.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>2021 Kindle Paperwhite (with ads)<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22954895\/cgartenberg_211020_4803_0006.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"The Kindle Paperwhite against a backdrop of physical books.\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/electronics.woot.com\/offers\/new-kindle-paperwhite-2021-release-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$139.99<\/strike> $99.99 at <strong>Woot<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Despite being a few years old, Amazon\u2019s last-gen Paperwhite offers nearly all the features that make the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24326185\/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-signature-edition-2024-e-reader-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">current model<\/a> our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23769068\/best-ebook-readers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">favorite e-reader<\/a> for those who primarily read Kindle books. It features a sharp 300ppi display and an adjustable warm front light, which makes reading at night more comfortable. Battery life is also excellent, often allowing you to eke out months of use on a single charge before you need to top it off via USB-C.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The latest Paperwhite offers slightly better performance, battery life, and a slightly larger seven-inch display, but it also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CFPJYX7P\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">costs $159.99<\/a>. Unless those upgrades matter to you, the older model remains a terrific value. The 2021 model is still snappy enough for most uses, and its 6.8-inch display remains spacious, especially compared to the base Kindle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22745670\/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-2021-review-usb-c-signature-edition-display-e-reader-books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our 2021 Kindle Paperwhite review<\/a>.<\/h5>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite has never been cheaper. | Photo: Chaim Gartenberg \/ The Verge If you like to read [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2953\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
