Overview
Mother’s Day is coming up, and if you’re looking for a present, we recently published our gift guide with a range of ideas. One of those recommendations is the $109.99 entry‑level Kindle, but right now you can buy the latest version of the higher‑end Kindle Paperwhite with 16 GB of storage and ads on sale starting at $134.99 (‑$25) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, making it the better buy. That’s its best price of the year, and $10 shy of the all‑time low we last saw on Black Friday. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which adds wireless charging and double the base storage, is also on sale for $164.99 (‑$25) at Amazon and Best Buy.

| Best Buy (with ads) | $159.99 | $134.99 |

Features

- USB‑C support – Modern charging and data transfer.
