Amazon cuts last-gen Kindle Paperwhite price by 30 percent
Amazon has reduced the price of the last-generation Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition to $169.99, a 30 percent discount from its original $249.99 cost. The promotion applies to the 2024 model, which retains the 300ppi screen, auto-adjusting front light, and IPX8 waterproof design found in newer releases. While the current version opens books 30 percent faster and features an aluminum design that is one millimeter thinner, it costs $50 more than the discounted 2024 edition. The Signature Edition includes 32GB of storage, wireless charging, an ambient light sensor, and no lockscreen ads. The same $169.99 price is also available at Best Buy and Target. The standard Kindle Paperwhite is also discounted at Amazon, dropping from $199.99 to $149.99. However, the standard model offers only half the storage of the Signature Edition, lacks wireless charging, and displays lockscreen ads.
