Amazon rolled out several Kindle deals for Presidents’ Day, including this gem: the ad-supported Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 at 16% off, bringing it down to a more affordable $135 from the e-reader’s original price of $160. The $25 in savings may not look like much, but you still wouldn’t want to miss it because a discount for this device rarely happens. The offer will only be available for a limited time though, with stocks possibly running out even before the holiday arrives, so hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of this bargain.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 received an impressive 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, catapulting it to the top of our list of the best Kindles. The first thing that you’ll notice about the e-reader is its sharp and high-contrast e-ink screen that makes reading extremely comfortable to the eyes, especially since it also has glare-free properties. The 7-inch display also has adjustable warmth that you can customize depending on the time of day, and since the device is ultra-thin and waterproof, you can bring it with you wherever you go.

One of the best things about a Kindle for avid readers is the fact that it will make sure that you won’t get distracted by other apps and notifications. You can focus on the book that you’re reading on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024, and once you’re done with it, you can easily download your next one through the Kindle Store. You also have the option of signing up for a Kindle Unlimited subscription for access to an ever-growing catalog of books. You may also want to check out our guides on how to read EPUB books on a Kindle and how to share Kindle books with family and friends.

If this will be your first e-reader, or if you’re thinking about upgrading from an older model, you can’t go wrong with the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024. It’s an even more attractive option right now because of Amazon’s 16% discount for Presidents’ Day, which lowers the price of the ad-supported model from $160 to $135. You won’t always get the chance to buy the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 at $25 off, and once this offer is gone, we’re not sure when you’ll get another crack at it, so buy the e-reader now to secure the savings.
