When purchasing a new device, it takes me a long time to click the “buy” button. I stopped using my iPhone and Mac to read ebooks a few years ago, but I waited until this year to finally get the e-reader I’ve been eyeing since 2020. It’s the Kindle Paperwhite, which I bought at a discount a few months ago. I love it, which is why I’m happy to announce that it’s now on sale for Black Friday and it’s at its lowest price ever.

I know what you might say, but buying a Kindle doesn’t mean you’re obligated to buy into Amazon’s e-book ecosystem. I managed to unAmazon my Kindle and everything is going well so far. There are many Amazon alternatives for purchasing ebooks, and I have taken the opportunity to read many DRM-free ebooks purchased over the years. The Kindle Paperwhite itself is also a great device. It is quite fast and has no performance issues even if you turn many pages consecutively.

It’s water resistant, which means you can use it poolside, at the beach, or even while washing dishes. And yes, there was a time when I was so wrapped up in a book that I would read the series even while doing the dishes. It was a little annoying to stop and turn the page every minute or so, but the thing is, I was never worried about causing water damage to my Kindle Paperwhite.

Yes, there is also a cheaper Kindle, but it’s not water resistant and has about half the battery life of a Paperwhite, which makes it less appealing to me. If you can afford it, I think buying the Kindle Paperwhite is the smart choice. But there are still some decisions to consider. One of them is color. The Paperwhite comes in black, green, and pink colors and all are currently at their lowest prices ever. Once you’ve determined your color, you need to choose whether you’re purchasing your Kindle with or without ads. I still recommend spending the extra $20 to get the ad-free version, but if you don’t mind lock screen ads, you can get the cheaper model.

The third and final choice is whether you want to increase your budget for the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. This variant has 32GB of onboard storage (double that of the regular Paperwhite), auto-adjusting front lighting, and wireless charging support. That’s just $5 more than the ad-free Kindle Paperwhite at the time of writing, and it’s worth remembering that this variant is ad-free too.

Personally, I think the choice is really between a $125 ad-supported Paperwhite or a $150 ad-free Paperwhite Signature Edition. Both are great devices, so no matter what, you can’t really go wrong.

Does Amazon have Black Friday deals?

Yes, Amazon has Black Friday sales, but the prices aren’t always what they seem. Use a price tracker to make sure you’re getting the best deal, or refer to guides like our live blog who use price trackers for you. And if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, make the most of it.

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Black Friday always offers discounts which can be rare during the rest of the year. If you want to buy something or are shopping for gifts, now is a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially technology sales, home improvement suppliesAnd fitness technology. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything.
