So even though this Kindle Paperwhite sale is solid, and even though I'm a big fan of the Paperwhite and its Signature edition, for anyone considering this deal, ask yourself: will you be annoyed if Amazon launches a new model before the end of the year? If not, then go for it; if so, then I'd recommend waiting to see what Amazon has up its sleeve.

While a new Kindle is likely imminent, you can still save on current models during Amazon's October Prime Day.

While the Kindle Paperwhite excels at delivering a premium reading experience, it offers even more than just books. With Kindle Unlimited, you can access over 2 million titles and thousands of audiobooks with a subscription. Additionally, pairing it with Bluetooth headphones or speakers allows you to listen to your favorite audiobooks hands-free.
