Amazon’s last-gen Kindle Paperwhite is 30 percent off

亚马逊上一代 Kindle Paperwhite 售价直降 30%

Calling something “last-gen” usually means it comes with big compromises compared to the latest version. That’s not as true for the last-gen Kindle Paperwhite as it is with some other tech. The newer version can open books 30 percent faster (not the same as page-turning speed), and its aluminum design is a millimeter thinner — but it costs $50 more.

通常称某样产品为“上一代”意味着它与最新版本相比会有很大的妥协。但对于上一代 Kindle Paperwhite 来说，情况并非如此。新款版本打开书籍的速度快了 30%（这与翻页速度不同），其铝制机身也薄了 1 毫米——但价格却贵了 50 美元。

The 2024 edition has the same fantastic 300ppi screen, an auto-adjusting front light, and waterproof (IPX8) design. And the Signature Edition that’s discounted has no lockscreen ads, twice the storage (32GB) of the base model, plus wireless charging and an ambient light sensor, and it’s down to $169.99 (originally $249.99) at Amazon.

2024 款拥有同样出色的 300ppi 屏幕、自动调节前光灯以及防水（IPX8）设计。此次参与折扣的签名版（Signature Edition）没有锁屏广告，存储空间是基础版的两倍（32GB），并支持无线充电和环境光传感器。目前在亚马逊上的售价已降至 169.99 美元（原价 249.99 美元）。

The standard Paperwhite is $149.99 (was $199.99) at Amazon, and while the lower price is nice, I’d suggest only opting for that model if you’re alright with what you’re giving up (which is a lot): it has half the storage, no wireless charging, and lockscreen ads.

标准版 Paperwhite 在亚马逊上的售价为 149.99 美元（原价 199.99 美元）。虽然价格更低，但我建议只有在你能够接受所失去的功能（其实还挺多）时才选择该型号：它只有一半的存储空间，不支持无线充电，且带有锁屏广告。
