I found a near-perfect Kindle and Prime Day just dropped its price to an all-time low

"This latest Kindle Paperwhite SE lets you read in any lighting condition, anywhere you can carry it. It's waterproof, so you don't have to worry about reading in the poolside or bathtub. Its glare-free display features a strong backlight that allows you to read in bright sunlight or adjust the tone to suit your surroundings, with adjustable settings ranging from white to amber."

"One of my biggest complaints about the Kindle is its slow interface. These e-readers are single-purpose E Ink devices that draw power only when the backlight is on or when switching pages. As a result, they don't require powerful processors or fast refresh rates. Truth be told, a slow Kindle is something you only experience when browsing the Kindle store or, occasionally, when turning the page. But the newest model is much faster than the older ones."

"It offers a crisp and contrasted reading experience that feels almost like reading a physical book, and the 2024 model provides a higher contrast ratio and 25% faster page turns compared to its predecessor. However, I've been using the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition , which features twice the storage capacity, wireless charging, and faster performance, and I don't see how I could go back to the base model. This is especially true when it's on sale during Prime Day, happening now, for only $150."

The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite delivers a higher contrast ratio and 25% faster page turns than the previous model. The Paperwhite Signature Edition provides twice the storage capacity, wireless charging, and faster overall performance, offering a more usable daily experience. The latest Paperwhite SE is waterproof, has a glare-free display with a strong backlight, and offers adjustable color temperature from white to amber plus an auto-adjusting front light. E Ink design limits processing demands and conserves power, which can make interfaces feel slow when browsing the store or turning pages. The 2024 model improves responsiveness and navigation.
