Just in time for Mother’s Day, Amazon discounts the original Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite.
For the second time this month, Amazon is serving up Kindle deals to help you get Mom a best-selling tablet in time for Mother’s Day.
Today, Amazon dropped prices of the Wi-Fi Kindle and Wi-Fi Kindle Paperwhite tablets to $ 49 and $ 99, respectively, providing a $ 20 discount on each model.
The Kindle Paperwhite, normally $ 199, features the added perks of a built-in light and higher resolution (212 ppi, compared to 167 ppi on the base Kindle). The higher-end version also provides up to eight weeks of battery life with Wi-Fi turned off, double the time of the base Kindle model.
Today’s limited-time Kindle price drops fall on the heels of other recent Amazon Kindle discounts announced only two weeks prior. On April 15, Amazon dropped prices of the 8GB 7-inch Kindle Fire HD to $ 199, offering $ 20 off and the 8.9-inch Fire HDX to $ 199 for a $ 30 savings. The 8.9-inch Fire HDX tablet was also discounted by $ 40, bringing the price of the 16GB model to $ 339, the 32GB model to $ 389, and the 6GB model to $ 439. Those discounts remain in effect today.
In other Amazon news, today the online retailer announced it is opening its doors for behind-the-scene tours of six fulfillment centers. Tours run between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of each month, and are available to all interested parties ages six and older. The six locations offering fulfillment center tours are: Chattanooga; Chester, VA; Jeffersonville, IN; Middletown, DE; Phoenix; and San Bernardino, CA. Tours can be scheduled directly on Amazon.com.
