MEANwhile the headliner Woot deal of the day is another variant of the refurbished Kindle eBook reader sale with prices starting at $20. These come with a 90-day warranty, unlike the certified refurbished sold at the Amazon website (for more) that come with a 1-year warranty.

As regular readers know, I have a little bit of a Kindle fetish soft spot 😉 The sale includes “basic” Kindles, Paperwhites and Oasis models. If I needed/wanted an e-reader from this sale, I would go for the 2018 Paperwhite (starting at $40) or the 2019 “basic” Kindle (starting at $30) or Oasis models. I had the 2015 Paperwhite ($20) a few years ago and it was already getting too slow, so unless you have the patience of a saint or are buying a specific price point, or you plan on reading lightweight ebooks (eg poetry, smaller ebooks without graphics, etc), I’d go with the more recent / less older models.

The sale also includes a bunch of Fire tablets ranging from $15 (yes, $15 for a color tablet) to $70. I bought the original “Kindle Fire” tablet on the hype train excitement of that time, but haven’t followed with them closely since. The last few years I’ve been using smaller touchscreen Chromebooks as tablet stand-ins.

Having said that, the price is definitely right, especially if you are part of the Amazon media ecosystem (Prime Videos, Kids programs, Kindle Unlimited reading, Amazon Music, non-stop Prime shopping, etc, etc, etc).
