Save $30 on this top-notch Amazon e-reader

Are you still carrying around heavy books? We applaud you for being an avid reader, but it’s 2019 and it’s probably time to upgrade to an e-reader like the Kindle Paperwhite. An e-reader will allow you to read more books without getting back strain for carrying them everywhere. 

Need another reason? How about a sale: The all-new Kindle Paperwhite is now $99.99, or $30 off its list price on Amazon.

This is the online retailer’s newest model with 8GB of storage, while it’s lighter and thinner than previous versions. The Kindle Paperwhite is even waterproof, so you can read while soaking in the tub, laying outside near the pool, or at the beach. It’s also glare-free with adjustable lights for indoor and outdoor use, so you can read as much as you want without the sunlight getting in the way.

Meanwhile, this new model pairs with your Audible account, so the audiobook versions of best-sellers can be read to you via Bluetooth speakers or headphones. 

If 8GB of storage is not enough space, you can also opt for the 32GB model —which is , or $40 off its retail price — and keep more books, magazines, audiobooks, and comic books on you at all times.

“I am an avid reader and adore the new Paperwhite! To me, it’s the perfect reader. No light bleed thru, easy to control the amount of backlight, easy to download books and simply just easy to read my books. It did not come with the very latest software uploaded but within 24 hours of being connected to my WiFi, the kindle updated itself. Honestly, I’ve never purchased a smart phone that didn’t need an update within minutes of activation…Android or Apple. Using overdrive on my phone or tablet, it’s easy to borrow books and return books from my library. The newest update allows you to return right from your Paperwhite and that is a huge improvement. As a prime member, I get a free book every month plus I follow several emails that alert to free or greatly discounted books. 8 GB of storage is way more than enough for me. I find the weight to be significantly less than a paperback even with a case. I am happy with this purchase!”
