Yesterday after posting an article about how Amazon hasn’t been putting Kindles on sale nearly as frequently as they used to, they went put the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition on sale for $159.99. Weird timing. However, it’s another Prime exclusive sale so you have to be an Amazon Prime member to get the deal, and […]

Is the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite Being Phased Out?
I wonder if Amazon has decided to phase out the 8GB version of the Kindle Paperwhite, or maybe they’re just having stock issues, but it’s been out of stock for a while now. You can still order the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon for $139.99, but the webpage says it isn’t expected to ship for […]
Be Warned, the Kindle Paperwhite’s Screen Scratches Easily
I recently discovered that my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has some light scratches on the screen, which is surprising since I keep it in a case all the time and rarely use it (the Kindle Scribe and Kindle Voyage are the two main Kindles that I use most often). It must’ve gotten scratched while cleaning […]
How Many Different Ways Can Amazon Sell a Kindle?
It’s funny how Amazon releases new Kindles very infrequently, and yet when they do come out with a new model they tend to offer a bunch of different sub-versions of it.

Kindle Paperwhite Kids No Longer the Better Deal Thanks to This Change
During the Prime Day madness, I noticed something about the Kindle Paperwhite Kids bundle that makes it not as good of a deal as it used to be, so I’m no longer going to be recommending it as a better deal than the regular Kindle Paperwhite. When Amazon first released the Kindle Paperwhite 5 back […]
New Kindle Paperwhite Kids Special Edition: Warrior Cats
Amazon is releasing a new “Special Edition” Kindle Paperwhite Kids bundle tomorrow on July 5th that features a new cover design. The new case has a Warrior Cats theme. Anything with cats is likely to be a hit, but this particular design ties in with the Warrior Cats series of young adult fantasy books by […]

There are a couple of good Kindle deals going on at Amazon right now. One is a Prime exclusive deal on the Kindle Paperwhite and the other is a punch card offer for the Kindle Rewards Beta program. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids deal is an early Prime Day sale, and at $89 it’s the lowest […]
