Amazon clears out prev-gen. Kindle Paperwhite at second-best price of $80 (Save $50)

Following the all-new edition launching earlier this week, Amazon is now offering its previous-generation Kindle Paperwhite at *$79.99 shipped* for the 8GB Ad-Supported model. Normally fetching $130, you’re looking at $50 in savings while undercutting our previous mention by $5 in order to mark the second-best price yet. While not the latest model, Kindle Paperwhite still arrives to deliver a compelling reading experience this summer complete with a glare-free 300 ppl display that makes it easy to read just about anywhere, even in direct sunlight. Its built-in battery goes weeks on a single charge and added IPX8 splash-resistance ensures that reading in the tub or poolside won’t be a problem, either. Plus with 8GB of storage, you’ll have plenty of room for books, comics, and more. Over 123,000 customers have left a 4.6/5 star rating, and you can head below for more.
