SAVE $50: Amazon has a certified refurbished 10th-generation Kindle on sale for only $39.99 as of July 1. (Note that the deal is only open to Prime members.) That’s 56% off the new version’s $89.99 MSRP.
Woot will probably have the top refurbished Kindle deal of the 2022 Prime Day season — $28 is basically the price of a new hardcover book these days — but don’t count Amazon out just yet.
As of July 1, anyone with a Prime membership could scoop up a certified refurbished 10th-generation Kindle for $39.99. It’s been tested to look and work like new, and it includes the same limited warranty as a fresh-out-the-box device, so the only difference you’ll notice is the price. (Brand new ones typically cost $50 more.)
A 2019 release, this particular e-reader has a claim to fame as the first sub-$100 Kindle with an adjustable front light that makes it easily readable outside and in the dark. Other highlights include a 167 ppi glare-free display, 8GB of storage for your ebook library, Audible support for audiobook listening, easy Bluetooth pairing with headphones and speakers, a battery that can last up to four weeks per charge, and a 6-inch frame that’s light enough to hold in one hand for hours on end.
Former Mashable tech reporter Ray Wong docked it a few points in his review for lacking water resistance and having a lower resolution than other Kindles from its era (see: the 2017 Kindle Oasis and the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite), but it’s a solid choice if you just need a basic e-reader — especially for just $40.
