Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is back on sale for $ 40 off

New Kindle Paperwhite, released last November, is again available at $ 90 or $ 40 on its $ 130 catalog price. Its price was previously less than $ 90.

Meanwhile, the new entry-level Kindle, featuring a built-in light, also benefits from a discount: it stands at $ 70 ($ 20). It's also a bargain, but the Paperwhite is worth the extra $ 20.

Note that CNET may obtain a share of the revenue from the sale of the products presented on this page.

If you are looking for someone who is looking for a dedicated e-reader, it's a good bargain. The new Paperwhite is the Goldilock in the Amazon line:

• It is 10% thinner and lighter than the previous version.
• Its design is "flush" and its back is made of a softer and adherent material instead of a hard plastic.
• It is fully waterproof like the high end Kindle Oasis and has a plastic screen that, according to Amazon, resists shocks and scratches.
• It integrates Bluetooth for integration with Amazon's Audible audio book service.

CNET Editors' Choice was enthusiastic at $ 130. At $ 90, it's a good deal. (Read the complete CNET review).
