So even though this Kindle Paperwhite sale is solid, and even though I'm a big fan of the Paperwhite and its Signature edition, for anyone considering this deal, ask yourself: will you be annoyed if Amazon launches a new model before the end of the year? If not, then go for it; if so, then I'd recommend waiting to see what Amazon has up its sleeve.

If you want a Kindle Paperwhite without ads, you’d typically have to pay $169.99 for the privilege. Thankfully, though, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids offers a way around that, making it a great e-reader for the whole family.

The second Prime Day of the year, Prime Big Deal Days, is less than a week away (on October 8 and 9, to be exact), but deals are already rolling in. Of course, Amazon is known for year-round sales but deals on subscription programs like Kindle Unlimited don’t come around too often — it’s usually just during an event like Prime Big Deal Days.
