Kindle e-readers have evolved into reading experiences that rival physical books through e-ink displays mimicking printed paper and provides instant access to over 15 million titles that would fill entire libraries. The convenience proves transformative through lightweight portability replacing heavy books in bags, immediate downloads eliminating bookstore trips, and adjustable lighting enabling reading anywhere regardless of ambient conditions.

The newest Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB storage (and ads) costs $124 during Black Friday on Amazon, down from $159, and hits a record-low price where Amazon removes profit margins completely on their own hardware. The ad-supported version saves money through occasional lock-screen advertisements, though spending an extra $20 for the ad-free model proves worthwhile if promotional content bothers you.

The fastest page turns that are like real books

The next-generation processor makes page turns 25% faster than older Paperwhite models: This gets rid of the short lag that made earlier e-readers feel slow compared to flipping through real pages. The speed boost is especially noticeable in scenes with a lot of dialogue or action, where quick page turning keeps the story moving instead of making fake pauses that break the immersion.

The 7-inch glare-free screen gives you a lot of reading space in a small package: It can fit more text on the screen while still being portable which is something that bigger tablets give up. The anti-glare coating makes it possible to read in direct sunlight where phone and tablet screens wash out completely which means that you can read at the beach, in an outdoor cafe, or at a sunny window seat without having to squint or move around like you would with reflective screens.

The adjustable color temperature changes from bright white light for reading during the day to warm amber tones for reading at night: This lowers blue light exposure, which can affect sleep quality. The warm light lets you read before bed without the blue light that phone and tablet screens give off, which keeps your natural sleep patterns going instead of messing them up.

The IPX8 waterproof rating means that the device can be submerged in water for up to two meters for 60 minutes. This means you can read by the pool, relax in the bathtub, or spend time at the beach without worrying about your electronics getting wet. The device won’t break if it falls into a pool, gets splashed by waves, or gets rained on, so you don’t have to be as careful with it when it’s wet, like you do with most expensive electronics.

The battery lasts for 12 weeks on a single charge so you don’t have to charge your phone or tablet every night, which can make them feel like they need constant care. Read every day for months without needing to charge, take vacations without bringing chargers, or keep reading without worrying about the battery running out like you do with devices that need daily power. The USB-C charging makes it easier to charge when needed because it doesn’t need special cables like older Kindles did.

The 16GB of storage can hold thousands of books which is much more than what most readers read before they upgrade their devices. The storage is especially useful when traveling internationally, when buying books can be difficult.

If you’ve thought about getting an e-reader but were put off by the usual prices, this is the perfect time to make the switch from physical books.
