Amazon’s Big Spring Sale brought a $30 discount on the company’s upgraded e-reader Signature Kindle Paperwhite. Reduced to $160 instead of $190 list price for Prime members. That’s not an all-time low (we saw it drop to $125 for Prime Day last July), but it’s still a decent discount on a device that doesn’t go on sale very often. Engadget’s Nathan Ingraham calls the Paperwhite Signature “the best e-reader. Period.“When I reviewed it when it debuted a few years ago.

As part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, the Paperwhite Signature is getting $30 off — the first sale since last year’s Black Friday.
The Paperwhite Signature Edition is an upgrade over the standard Kindle: It has a larger, 6.8-inch screen, 32GB of storage, auto-adjusting warm front lights, and wireless charging capabilities. It also comes standard with no lock screen ads — those on other Kindles cost $20 to turn off.
In his review, Nathan particularly praised the premium feel of the device. The integrated front touchscreen is responsive, quickly recognizing taps and swipes with little lag when typing on the on-screen keyboard. The bottom bezel is a good size to hold the reader, but the thin bezels on the sides provide plenty of room for 300px content. The warm front lights adjust in response to the light in the room and can also be programmed to turn more yellow at night.
