Looking for a reading device that won’t tempt you with TikTok notifications? Or maybe you just want a digital library instead of having to cart around multiple books all day. Whatever the case may be, an e-reader is a great alternative to physical books that you can keep with you all the time, and it can hold tons of things for you to read. Specifically, Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite is one that you should watch if those are all items you need to tick off on your must-have list.

Amazon’s marked this reading companion down to $155, saving you $45 off its usual $200 price tag. At 23% off, we’re talking about a solid deal on what’s arguably the best e-reader out there. For a device that could replace hundreds of physical books and last for years, that’s pretty compelling.
Read anything, anytime, anywhere
The Kindle Paperwhite is like having a library in your pocket, minus the eye strain and distractions. What makes this one special is its 25% faster page turns and higher contrast display. It’s a lot like reading paper, but with a built-in booklight that actually adjusts to your environment.
The 7-inch glare-free display means you can read in bright sunlight or while tucked in bed, while the waterproof design lets you safely read in the bath or by the pool. The battery life is particularly impressive as well. We’re talking up to 12 weeks on a single charge, making it perfect for long trips where charging isn’t always convenient. And you can read outdoors, indoors, wherever you want. The screen can automatically adjust to wherever you’re reading, and you can still feel like you’re sitting and reading a piece of paper — or more specifically, a page.
This Kindle would make a great gift for many of the folks on your gift list, like book lovers who want to travel light but read heavy or anyone who’s tired of their phone’s notifications interrupting their reading time. The 32GB storage means you can carry thousands of books without weighing down your bag. You definitely don’t want to try that with physical copies.
At $155 (23% off), the Kindle is one of those investments that actually improves your reading life. Between the distraction-free environment, massive book selection, and that sweet paper-like display, you’re getting a dedicated reading device that might actually help you read more. And isn’t that what you planned to do this new year? You’re welcome for the find!
