Lately, it seems as if the biggest events in the world of E Ink revolve around large note-taking devices like the Kindle Scribe and color offerings like the aptly titled Kobo Libra Color. However, if you’re looking for a basic eBook reader to browse through your summer reading list, there’s nothing wrong with choosing a last-generation eBook reader like Kindle Paperwhite 2018 – Which happens to be On sale on Amazon (via Woot) In used condition with ads for $49.99.
The last-generation Amazon Paperwhite has become harder to find since the 2021 model arrived, even if it’s not a huge step back in terms of features. Still holds IPX8-rated for complete water resistance, plus a crisp six-inch 300ppi display and support for Audible audiobooks via Bluetooth headphones, the newer Paperwhite has a bigger screen and better backlighting—not to mention wireless charging, if you’re into that. Choose the 32GB Signature Edition —but it rarely drops below $100, even when it’s on sale. The real travesty here is the fact that the 10th-gen Paperwhite only offers 8GB of storage in its base configuration and uses Micro USB for charging instead of USB-C, which seemed like a miss even in 2018.
