Is the Kindle Paperwhite worth the extra spend over the basic Kindle? Let's break it down, with a view to help all those Black Friday shoppers.

The Kindle Paperwhite is like having a library in your pocket, minus the eye strain and distractions. What makes this one special is its 25% faster page turns and higher contrast display. It’s a lot like reading paper, but with a built-in booklight that actually adjusts to your environment.

Amazon’s 2024 Kindle Paperwhite is already discounted for Black Friday. The new ereader has faster page turns, a larger screen and longer battery life. It’s marked down to $130 ($30 off).

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen, 2024) is now $129.99 for Black Friday, its lowest price yet. It features a 7-inch 300 ppi display, adjustable warm/cool light, waterproof design, and 16GB storage—suitable for eBooks but limited for audiobooks.

Both Kindle Paperwhite models are significantly discounted at record low prices, and your choice will depend on your individual preferences.
