The latest Paperwhite offers a sharp seven-inch display that’s incredibly easy to read.
If you’re wondering what to gift the bibliophile in your life for Valentine’s Day, Amazon’s ongoing President’s Day sale is worth a look. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition has returned to its best price to date, while the latest Kindle Paperwhite has received its first discount since the holidays. Right now, the ad-supported Paperwhite, one of our go-to gift recs for Valentine’s Day, has dropped to $134.99 ($25 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is just $5 shy of the all-time low we last saw during Black Friday.
The Kindle Paperwhite is one of our favorite e-readers, particularly for people who own a lot of Kindle books. It’s waterproof, unlike the cheaper entry-level Kindle, and features an adjustable warm white frontlight, which makes it easier to read at night. It also offers a larger seven-inch display, sharp 300ppi resolution, and rich contrast levels that make for a crystal-clear reading experience.
In addition to offering an easy-to-read screen, it’s the first Paperwhite to use a dual-core processor. That makes it faster and more responsive than prior models, something that’s particularly noticeable while opening large PDF files and cycling through pages. The newer e-reader also lasts up to a month on a single charge and retains USB-C support, which allows for relatively fast charging.
As for the Kindle Colorsoft, it’s almost identical to the Paperwhite, only with a seven-inch color E ink screen that drops to 150ppi resolution while displaying color. The resulting hues are somewhat muted in comparison to, say, an iPad or a glossier tablet, but they’re more vibrant than those on rivals like the Kobo Libra Colour. Plus, you get wireless charging, 32GB of storage, and — like the step-up Paperwhite Signature Edition — no lockscreen ads.
