It normally retails for $129, but right now you can grab it for $79.99!

First off, let me just start by casually mentioning that the Kindle Paperwhite has 86,000 5-star reviews. That's like...an entire city of people who love this thing.

Promising review: "I read an average of one book per month. Really enjoyed using the Paperwite in different lighting conditions, both at home and on vacations. This new Paperwhite makes it much easier to change the brightness level. It is also much faster when it comes to choosing which book to read. One of the best features, is that it tells you when it's waking up and ready for you to swipe the screen to come on. The text is much sharper. The lighting is also more even. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in an e-reader, even if you already have one. It's lightweight and the battery lasts seemingly forever." —Dan O'Sterling

It also has so many great features that make this portable e-reader one of the bests.

—It's has a glare-free display that really makes it feel like you're reading a book.

—The adjustable light means you can read wherever: indoors, outdoors, at the beach...you get the picture.

—It's super lightweight, thin, and small enough to hold with one hand, so it doesn't feel like you're carrying around something super clunky.

—It's waterproof and made to withstand accidental immersion in water, allowing you to enjoy baths, pool hangs, and beach trips without worry of damage. (That gif above was made by my coworker who also loves this thing. You can read her blurb about it here).

—It has Wi-Fi capabilities, meaning you can download new books when you connect!

—Each charge lasts up to six weeks (based on half-hour per day readings).

—Comes with Audible so you can connect to your account straight from your Kindle.

I've also been an avid Kindle fan, and have had mine for three years without any sign of it losing life.

(I will note that I don't have the latest version of the Paperwhite, but the one I got three years ago has stood the test of time.)

And while I am not the biggest reader, I read probably a book a month, the Kindle has encouraged me to read more. It's so easy to travel with, taking up practically no space in my purse, that I love bringing it along on all my trips so I can get more read time in. Now I read in the bath and by the pool regularly (with no fear of ruining it since it's waterproof!), and pretty much any chance I get. It's got tons of storage, which is great for me, because I typically have a few books going on at the same time. And the size is *chefs kiss*. It's so lightweight and easy to hold with one hand, that I can easily read and be comfortable for hours. 

This is all to say, if you like reading in any shape or form, GET THE KINDLE PAPERWHITE!!!! And what better time since it's currently 38% off?!
