Should You Buy a Kindle Paperwhite?
Buy if you read regularly. The Paperwhite is the best value e-reader at this price — weeks of battery, waterproofing, and a glare-free screen that phones cannot match.
Red flags
- Buying if you read fewer than 2 books a month
- Ads on lock screen unless you pay to remove them
- Amazon ecosystem lock-in if you ever want to switch
