If you don't own a Kindle already or are upgrading from a much older or entry-level Kindle with no built-in light, the new Kindle Paperwhite is easy to recommend - especially when Amazon is discounting it to $100. The same goes if you're a big Audible user and want a dedicated device that's not your phone. That said, if you like to read in the bath, around the pool or near any other body of water, the waterproofing may make this Kindle worth the investment. If you already own the previous Kindle Paperwhite, you won't need to rush out for this version. The service gives you access to a million e-book titles and thousands of Audible audiobooks.

While Amazon doesn't appear to have upgraded the Paperwhite's processor or RAM, it has upgraded the built-in storage, doubling it from 4GB to 8GB - that's enough for "thousands of e-books," according to Amazon, but the extra space is more to account for audiobooks, which have beefier file sizes.
