Avid readers (and folks who love ’em), today’s the day! Amazon ’s latest, most compact, fastest and lightweight Kindle is marked down and bundled with accessories for its lowest price of the year for Cyber Monday.

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.

You can save as much as $25 on each of them, and you may find a couple of good reasons to upgrade if you already have older models.

The 11th-gen Paperwhite update, released in late 2021 for $140, was a big quality-of-life upgrade, with a bigger 6.8-inch screen, adjustable color temperature, USB-C, more frontlight LEDs, and (in the more-expensive Signature Edition) an auto-brightness sensor and wireless charging.

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.

Avid readers will love how simple and efficient the newest Kindle is. Save $25 on the latest model right now during Amazon's Cyber Monday sale.
