You can grab a refurbished 2021 Kindle Paperwhite starting at just $49.99
We spend a lot of time The edge It waxes poetic about the latest gadgets, but sometimes it’s the latest generation devices from several years ago that offer the best value. THE Kindle Paperwhite 2021 is a great example, especially since you can pick it up from Woot in refurbished condition with lock screen ads, 8GB of storage, and a 90-day warranty starting at $49.99 through the rest of today, April 12, which is about $90 off the e-reader’s original list price. As usual, Amazon Prime members will also get free shipping with their purchase.
Entry-level refurbished models are in perfect working order but have a moderate, unspecified level of wear – hence their “scratches and dents” designation. Luckily, Woot also sells non-S&D models of the 2021 Paperwhite with ads, 8GB of storage, and the same Woot 90-day warranty starting at $69.99. You can even get a refurbished Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition — which adds wireless charging, a sensor to automatically adjust the backlight, and four times more storage — for $99.99, which is $90 off the upgraded model’s original MSRP.
Unlike Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle, the 11th generation Paperwhite boasts robust IPX8 waterproofing and a 6.8-inch screen, which is two inches smaller than the 7-inch screen on the latest Paperwhite. That said, it still offers the same resolution (300 ppi) as the last model, as well as an adjustable color temperature, allowing you to read as easily at night as during the day. The e-reader also offers months of battery life and USB-C support, although its user interface isn’t as responsive as the latest models and pages aren’t as fast.
If you’re considering upgrading from an older model, Woot’s Paperwhite promotion couldn’t come at a better time. Amazon recently announced that it will end support for pre-2012 Kindle devices on May 20, 2026, which will prevent existing owners from purchasing, borrowing, or downloading new content through the Kindle Store (previously downloaded books will still be accessible). Amazon is offering longtime users 20% off new Kindle devices through June 20; However, even with the discount, you would still pay almost three times as much to buy the 2024 Paperwhite.
