Amazon’s last-gen Paperwhite is on sale for less than the entry-level Kindle

亚马逊上一代 Kindle Paperwhite 售价现已低于入门级 Kindle

If you like to read by the pool or at the beach, the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite remains one of the best e-readers available despite its age. That’s because, unlike Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle, the last-gen Paperwhite is waterproof. And now through June 14th (or while supplies last), it’s on sale at Woot with ads, 16GB of storage, and a 90-day Woot warranty for $99.99, which is $40 off its original price.

如果你喜欢在泳池边或海滩上阅读，2021 款 Kindle Paperwhite 尽管发布已久，但依然是目前市面上最好的电子阅读器之一。这是因为它与亚马逊最新的入门级 Kindle 不同，上一代 Paperwhite 具备防水功能。即日起至 6 月 14 日（售完即止），Woot 正在促销这款带广告版、16GB 存储空间的机型，售价为 99.99 美元，并附带 90 天 Woot 保修，比原价优惠了 40 美元。

Despite being a few years old, Amazon’s last-gen Paperwhite offers nearly all the features that make the current model our favorite e-reader for those who primarily read Kindle books. It features a sharp 300ppi display and an adjustable warm front light, which makes reading at night more comfortable. Battery life is also excellent, often allowing you to eke out months of use on a single charge before you need to top it off via USB-C.

尽管已经发布几年了，但亚马逊上一代 Paperwhite 几乎提供了让当前型号成为我们首选电子阅读器的所有功能，特别适合那些主要阅读 Kindle 书籍的用户。它配备了清晰的 300ppi 显示屏和可调节的暖色前光灯，让夜间阅读更加舒适。其电池续航表现也非常出色，通常单次充电即可使用数月，之后再通过 USB-C 接口充电即可。

The latest Paperwhite offers slightly better performance, battery life, and a slightly larger seven-inch display, but it also costs $159.99. Unless those upgrades matter to you, the older model remains a terrific value. The 2021 model is still snappy enough for most uses, and its 6.8-inch display remains spacious, especially compared to the base Kindle.

最新款 Paperwhite 提供了稍好的性能、更长的续航以及稍大一点的 7 英寸显示屏，但其售价也高达 159.99 美元。除非你非常在意这些升级，否则旧款机型依然具有极高的性价比。2021 款机型在大多数使用场景下依然反应灵敏，其 6.8 英寸的显示屏空间依然充裕，尤其是与基础款 Kindle 相比时。
