The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is just about a week left though the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Essentials bundle is already down to its lowest price this year, Engadgt reported. The bundle comprising of the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 GB), a black fabric cover, and a wireless charging dock is now selling for $203. That’s $55.00 less than the $258 that it otherwise costs.
The e-reader that was launched in 2021 continues to be relevant even today thanks to the excellent 6.8-inch 300 PPI E Ink display it comes with. Newer models might come with a faster processor or at best, the more recent E Ink Carta 1300 display. The Paperwhite with its Carta 1200 display and 300 PPI resolution is among the best in its class. It’s sharp and bright and offers 16 levels of grayscale. The adaptive front light allows for automatic adjustment of the screen brightness based on ambient lighting conditions.
The battery lasts 10 weeks on a single charge. The Paperwhite Signature Edition supports wireless charging as well, a first among any Kindle we have had so far, and is the only Kindle to be so equipped. There is also the USB-C port as well for a faster wired connectivity and data transfers. The waterproof build ensures you can continue with your reading even on the beach without worrying about the device getting damaged from water ingress.
Amazon is also claiming the e-reader is made from 60% post-consumer recycled plastic and 70% recycled magnesium. That is not all, most of the device packaging, 95%, as Amazon put it, is made from wood fibre derived from managed forests. All of this makes the e-reader environment friendly too with the new 2024 Kindle Basic doing even better, being made from a higher percentage of recycled material.
Not to mention, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has on multiple occasions adjudged the best e-reader out there. So, if you are in a hurry and can’t wait till the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, this deal is for you.
