BookTok that... let’s talk about how you can get this stellar e-reader at the cheapest it ever goes for. I am a contributing writer and former BuzzFeed Shopping fellow and I love writing about the latest fashion trends, the cutest home decor, and what beauty products are actually worth adding to your makeup bag. It normally retails for $159.99, but right now you can grab it for $124.99! —It's got a 7" display and is the fastest Kindle to date, with 25% faster page turns. —It has a glare-free screen that makes it easy to read outdoors and makes it feel like you're reading an actual book. —You can adjust the brightness, warmth, and text size to exactly how you like it. —A single charge can last you up to 12 weeks. Yes, you read that right! 12 WEEKS! —It's super lightweight, thin, and small enough to hold with one hand, so it won't take up a lot of space in your bag or feel super clunky while using it. —It's waterproof, so you can enjoy your good read by the pool, the beach, and even in the tub without worrying about ruining your device. —It has Wi-Fi capabilities, meaning you can download new books when you connect! Promising review: "I can’t say enough good things about my Kindle Paperwhite — it’s truly a reader’s dream! The screen is crisp and easy on the eyes, even in bright sunlight or total darkness, thanks to the adjustable backlight. No glare, no straining —just pure reading bliss. The lightweight design makes it super comfortable to hold, even for long reading sessions. Plus, the battery life is incredible — I can go weeks without needing to charge it! It’s also waterproof, which means I can finally read by the pool or in the bath without worrying. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to carry an entire library with me wherever I go. Whether I’m traveling, commuting, or just relaxing at home, I always have something great to read at my fingertips. If you’re on the fence about getting one, do it. The Kindle Paperwhite is sleek, powerful, and makes reading more convenient and enjoyable than ever. I’m completely obsessed with mine!" —Amber Goddard Promising review: "I had a ten-year-old Paperwhite that was doing just fine, but at the urging of my friend, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Oh. My. Gosh. First of all, I love the larger screen (not larger by a ton, but it's notable). This device is so responsive and quick! I was able to download most of my books in record time, and the battery life is superb. I also adore the separate warmth and brightness options. I took it with me to Europe and even carted it around Paris for a day since we spent a lot of time on trains. It's not too heavy, nor is it too big to slip into a large crossbody bag, and I was certainly glad to have it on me." —Caitlyn This thing has truly been a game changer in terms of having access to books and feeling more encouraged to read since I can basically bring it with me everywhere I go. One of the main annoyances I had with bringing books on a trip was that they would take up so much room in my personal item or in my suitcase. I had just finished the first book of ACOTAR while traveling and was dying to start the next book in the series, but could not justify getting it because it would take up so much room in my luggage. This finally urged me to get the Kindle Paperwhite. And let me tell you... I am SO glad I did. It's super slim, and all the features make it truly the best investment, no matter how often or not you read. I even got it with the Kindle Unlimited subscription, and it gives me access to thousands of books to read. Overall, this little guy will truly upgrade your reading experience and is definitely worth investing in. —Quirky Things On Sale For Prime Day You Won’t Be Able To Resist —What Parents Should Actually Buy During Prime Day —Things You’ll Want To Splurge On During Prime Day —Things At Their Lowest-Ever Prices This Prime Day And check out our roundups of the best deals across a variety of categories, including home, beauty, food & kitchen, practical, under-$25, TikTok finds, and more.
