Amazon Kindle Paperwhite drops to Black Friday pricing
Twelve weeks of battery life from a single charge is the number that separates the Kindle Paperwhite from almost every other device in your bag, and at £134.99 it is now priced where it belongs for anyone serious about reading.
The Kindle Paperwhite drops from £169.99 to £134.99 in its 12th generation form during this Spring Deal Days, the newest version Amazon has released.
Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite has hit its Black Friday price once again, offering a standout deal.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite hit Black Friday pricing
It’s flagged in our best Kindle buying guide as the best option for most people, in you’re looking for more backup. We also added the 4.5-star review of the Paperwhite: “The Kindle (2024) is great, but the Paperwhite is just a bit more luxurious. It has a nicer, flush screen and a warm light that’s easier on the eyes.”
The 7-inch Paperwhite display runs at 300ppi with a higher contrast ratio and 25% faster page turns than the previous version, which means text renders crisply and scrolling between pages feels more immediate than older Kindle models managed.
The front light adjusts from white to warm amber, so the Kindle Paperwhite remains comfortable whether you are reading in direct sunlight or a completely dark room without straining your eyes.
IPX8 waterproofing rated to two metres of fresh water for 60 minutes means the Kindle Paperwhite travels to the pool or bath without any anxiety, and the flush-front design keeps the screen protected in a bag.

The Kindle Paperwhite carries 16GB of on-device storage, which holds thousands of titles locally, with free cloud storage for your full Amazon library, without taking up space on the device itself.
Charging takes approximately 2.5 hours via USB-C with a 9W power adaptor, which is a fast enough turnaround that plugging in overnight once every few months is all the maintenance the Kindle Paperwhite realistically demands from a regular reader.
The ad-free version at £134.99 does contain lock-screen promotions, and at a price point that matches Black Friday levels outside of November, the Kindle Paperwhite represents straightforward value for anyone who reads regularly and wants a device built around nothing else.
