Do you have a resolution to read more in the new year? Investing in an e-reader is a great way to own thousands of books without even buying a bookshelf. Amazon is currently offering discounts on some of its most popular Kindle devices, including 21% off the iconic Kindle Paperwhite and 20% off the larger Kindle Oasis.
While the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales showed even bigger discounts on some Kindle devices, current sales will likely continue to make room for new Kindles like the Kindle Scribe and the new Kindle Kids. So we don’t know how long Amazon will be offering these prices and models, so check out these deals and pick up a cheap new Kindle e-reader today.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (8GB)

Now 21% discount
The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the highest-rated versions of the Kindle e-reader, and our own reviewers call it one of the best e-readers out there. The latest Paperwhite model, now with a larger screen, faster page turns and longer battery life, is available today for $110. The e-ink display is designed to mimic real paper, so despite being an electronic device it strains the eyes. It’s waterproof and can survive temporary submersion in water (my editor tells me she’s even used it for kayaking without a problem), and the unit can last up to 10 weeks on a charge.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, available today for $145, has the same features as the version above, but with one small improvement: it’s compatible with Qi wireless chargers, so you don’t have to worry about extra accessories. The storage capacity is also four times larger at 32 GB. It has adjustable warm light and auto adjustable cold light, so the screen won’t blind you with fluorescence when you’re reading at night. The backlight is even useful for reducing glare when reading in bright sunlight.

If you enjoy reading on the beach or in the shower, you probably know that a wet fingertip doesn’t slide across the touchscreen as easily as you’d like. The Kindle Oasis, reduced to $200 today, has page-turn buttons so you can manually turn the page instead of using the screen. It’s even more resistant to water than the Paperwhite, so it can also be submerged in deeper water (if you like to read while diving). E-ink technology and warm, adjustable light are easy on the eyes and provide a smooth reading experience.
