The best Kindle deals ahead of Mother’s Day:
As an avid reader, I have the best job testing e-readers. I have access to the full Kindle line-up. The one I use daily is the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. Although the Paperwhite is best for most, I prefer the Signature Edition for its 32GB storage. I download many books at once, so I need a device to handle it. Plus, it’s ad-free.
Now is a great time to buy a Kindle, especially with Mother’s Day this Sunday. All e-readers on sale will arrive in time for Mother’s Day, making them perfect gifts. The Signature Edition is $15 more than its lowest price, and the standard Paperwhite is $10 more. If you don’t want to wait for Amazon Prime Day in June, now is a good time to buy.
We’ve found three great Kindle e-reader deals, plus many books on sale. Here are the best Kindle deals available—arriving before Mother’s Day.
The best Kindle deal for Mother’s Day:
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is $164.99 at Amazon, saving $35.
Why we like it: The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition’s lowest price ever is $149.99. Now at $164.99, it’s only $15 off from its record low. Leading up to Prime Day, this is the best deal to shop now.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has features unavailable in the standard Paperwhite: auto-brightness and wireless charging capabilities. The two best features are its storage and ad-free display. With 32GB of storage, it holds thousands of books. No ads feel like a bonus since your lock screen isn’t inundated by Kindle promotions. Upgrading to the ad-free Paperwhite is $154.99 on sale. For $10 more, you get twice the storage with the Signature Edition.
Importantly, if you’re gifting this for Mother’s Day, it will arrive in time.
