Don’t miss your chance to get a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for $70 off

• Why this is a good deal
• The difference between the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

If you tear through a TBR pile like I do, you know the value of an e-reader. Kindles, in particular, are my favorite single-use device on the market for distraction-free entertainment. While I’m a proud owner of the newest Kindle Paperwhite, there is one model that gets a few sidelong glances from me multiple times a year: the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. And its like-new offering just so happens to be at its lowest historical price right now.

Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is selling for $127 for its refurbished models right now, which is $53 off its normal retail price of $180. The devices are refurbished, tested, and certified to not only look but also function as brand-new devices, so you don’t have to worry about getting a faulty e-reader. Plus, the Like-New models come with the exact same limited warranty as a new device.

Why this is a good deal

Cheaper than the regular Paperwhite

Amazon sells the new Kindle Paperwhite for $160, and the new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for $200. Normally, the refurbished Signature Edition sells for $180, but it’s almost 30% off at $127 right now — that’s $53 in normal savings, $33 cheaper than a regular new Paperwhite, and $73 cheaper than a new Signature Edition. In short, this deal gets you a like-new Signature Edition for cheaper than a brand-new, rung-down Paperwhite.

Per Amazon, each pre-owned e-reader goes through a full diagnostic test, cleaning, inspection, secure data wipe, and replacement of any defective parts. When it says ‘like-new,’ the tech giant means it.

The difference between the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

With this deal, you’ll save $33 on an even nicer model

It isn’t a night-and-day difference, since both models have the features that matter most: a 7-inch glare-free display, up to 12 weeks of battery life, a higher contrast ratio, and 25% faster page turns. However, the Signature Edition does have some noteworthy advantages:

• Wireless charging
• An auto-adjusting front light for reading no matter what your environment
• 32 GB of storage (double what comes standard on the Paperwhite)

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is also waterproof and a spectacular device for traveling — especially if you spend lots of time in trains, planes, and automobiles like I do. During Amazon’s refurbishing process, the battery is tested, charged, and updated with the latest software, so it’s ready to go the moment it arrives.
