we spend a lot of time here The Verge One can wax poetic about the latest gadgets, but sometimes it’s the last generation devices from several years ago that offer better value. 2021 kindle paperwhite This is a great case – especially since you can get it from Woot in refurbished condition with no lockscreen ads, 8GB of storage, and a 90-day warranty starting at $49.99 through today, April 12, which is about $90 less than the e-reader’s original list price. As always, Amazon Prime members will also get free shipping on their purchases.
Entry-level refurb models are in full working order, but contain unspecified, moderate levels of wear and tear – hence their “scratches and dents” designation. Thankfully, Woot is also selling non-S&D models of the 2021 Paperwhite with ads, 8GB of storage, and a 90-day Voot warranty starting at $69.99. You can also buy a refurbished Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition — which includes wireless charging, a sensor to automatically adjust the backlight, and four times the storage — for $99.99, or $90 less than the step-up model’s original MSRP.
Unlike Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle, the 11th-generation Paperwhite has stronger IPX8 waterproofing and a 6.8-inch display, which is two inches smaller than the latest Paperwhite’s 7-inch screen. That said, it still boasts the same resolution (300ppi) as the latest model, as well as adjustable color temperature, so you can read as easily at night as during the day. The e-reader also has months-long battery life and USB-C support, though its UI isn’t as responsive as the latest models, nor are page turns as fast.
If you’re thinking of upgrading from an older model, Voot’s Paperwhite promo couldn’t come at a better time. Amazon recently announced that it will end support for pre-2012 Kindle devices on May 20, 2026, which will prevent existing owners from purchasing, borrowing, or downloading new content through the Kindle Store (previously downloaded books will still be accessible). Amazon is offering longtime users 20 percent off new Kindle devices through June 20; However, even with the discount, you’ll have to pay almost three times as much to buy the 2024 Paperwhite.
