Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has brought a $30 discount to the company’s upgraded e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature. It’s down to $160 instead of the $190 list price for Prime members. That’s not an all-time low (we saw it drop to $125 for Prime Day last July) but still a decent discount on a device that doesn’t go on sale very often. Engadget’s Nathan Ingraham called the Paperwhite Signature the “best e-reader. Period.” when he reviewed it upon its debut a couple years ago.
The Paperwhite Signature Edition is an upgrade over the standard Kindle: It has a larger, 6.8-inch screen, 32GB of storage, auto-adjusting warm front lights and wireless charging capabilities. It also comes standard without lockscreen ads — it costs $20 to disable those on other Kindles.
In his review, Nathan particularly appreciated the premium feel of the device. The flush-front touchscreen is responsive, quickly recognizing taps and swipes with little lag when typing on the on-screen keyboard. The bottom bezel is a good size for keeping a grip on the reader, but the thin bezels on the sides give plenty of room for the 300 pixel-per-inch content. The warm front lights adjust in response to the light in the room and can also be programmed to shift to a more amber hue at night.
