It's the Black Friday sale you've been waiting for, dear readers Thanks to Amazon's early Black Friday sale, all Amazon Kindles are on sale, including our favorites This sale also includes the lowest ever price on our favorite Kindle Buy now or spend more money later (money you could use on actual books!)

Right now the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is $8499 That's $45 off the regular price of $12999, which is almost the lowest price for this Kindle (it was only $5 cheaper on Prime Day) Unlike the base Kindle, the Paperwhite also has a crisper screen and is waterproof

As we explained in our Kindle Paperwhite review, this has the two perks you need - a crisp 300ppi screen and strong backlighting - and water resistance you didn't know you needed until you dropped your Kindle in the tub, so for most people Best Kindle

The Kindle Paperwhite is a great gift for relatives who've been buying Kindles all along but never upgraded; at $130, they may be a little reluctant to pay the $130 price tag! - But now you can reward yourself with a Paperwhite at a significant savings

It also has Bluetooth so you can connect to headphones and speakers Why would you need that, now that it supports Audible audiobooks, you need another device to listen to books

And as my review of the Kindle Kids Edition explains, this is an ideal starter Kindle for young and growing readers Its colorful case (plain blue and pink options, adorable drawings of colorful birds on telephone wires, intergalactic space scenes, etc) helps kids feel that this Kindle is theirs, not their parents' It also comes with one year of Amazon Kids+ (formerly FreeTime Unlimited) and Amazon's standard two-year peace of mind warranty in case of damage
