If you're not one for carrying lots of books around then an e-reader is the way to go. Right now, you can get the 16GB Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for $135, down from $160. The 16 percent discount brings the device to just $5 more than its Black Friday price.

Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite features a larger seven-inch display and noticeably faster performance. It also boasts longer battery life than the previous model, retains IPX8 waterproofing, and includes a USB-C port.

Read for long bouts of time with the Kindle Paperwhite’s killer battery. A single charge with it’s USB-C port or compatible Qi wireless charger (included with the Kindle) will last you up to 12 weeks of reading time.

That being said, a Kindle is a fairly expensive purchase. Amazon doesn't have deals on Kindle devices very often, but when it does, it's usually a good time to pick one up for a little bit less. Right now, Amazon is dropping the price of the Kindle Paperwhite as part of its Presidents' Day and Valentine's Day sales.

Ready to upgrade your e-reading experience? Now’s a great time to do it because the new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which normally retails for $160, is currently on sale for $135. That price is hard to beat outside of major sales events like Black Friday and Prime Day!
