The Kindle Paperwhite is down to $135 right now, knocking $25 off its usual price as part of the Spring Sale deals at Amazon. Discounts on this model don’t come by often, nor do they stick around for long. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your e-reader, this is a good time to jump in before the price goes back up.
If you’re someone who always has a book on hand, this is an easy pick. It’s great for everything from your late night reading at home to tossing in your bag for travel. The Paperwhite also earned our Editor’s Choice Award in 2025 in 2025 and remains our our favorite e-reader pick.
Each Kindle comes with a 7-inch glare-free Paperwhite display, improved contrast and noticeably faster page turns. The slim, waterproof design makes it easy to read anywhere, whether it’s by the pool, on a commute or while cuddling up in bed. Battery life lasts up to 12 weeks on a single charge.
Reading comfort is also a big focus with this model, thanks to adjustable white-to-amber lighting and USB-C charging. As CNET expert David Carnoy says in his review, “While I’m slightly disappointed that E Ink e-reader technology just hasn’t advanced that much, I’m happy to see the modest upgrades, and I do think those upgrades are easily discernible on the Paperwhite,” making it a worthwhile jump from older models. If you don’t want a Kindle but prefer physical books instead, the Spring Sale also has some great books on sale.
