The new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite brings a lot of what’s great about the Oasis into a more affordable package.
Amazon is the number one household name when it comes to ereaders, and the latest version of its Kindle Paperwhite comes packed with loads of features that are usually reserved for top-end devices. The Paperwhite is the best-selling product in Amazon’s Kindle range, and the latest version takes some of the best elements of the top-end and more expensive Kindle Oasis device and packages them into a more affordable ereader. That includes a waterproof design and the ability to listen to audiobooks on your ereader too. There’s a lot to love here, but is this the best Kindle for you right now? Amazon’s products are prime for discounts during Amazon Prime Day which this year falls on June 21 and 22. We could see a fair amount taken off the cost of the Kindle Paperwhite, or perhaps some bundles with the device and other products. We can’t guarantee the Paperwhite will get a discount, but it’s likely, because Amazon regularly discounts its own products on its sales days. We’ll bring you all the best deals during the event so come back to TechRadar for them then. You’re able to order the latest version of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite on the retailer’s website now. It was released back in 2018. The price starts at £119.99 / $129.99 / AU$199 for the 8GB version, and then there’s a 32GB Wi-Fi only version that costs £149.
