If you’re looking for an e-reader you can safely take to the beach, right now, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale for $114.99 ($55 off) with 16GB of storage at Amazon and Best Buy. That’s one of its better prices this year and just $4 shy of the standard, ad-free Kindle Paperwhite’s all-time low price.
It might seem strange to say, but the latest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is a bargain for children and adults alike. That’s because, at its core, it’s the Kindle Paperwhite — our favorite Amazon e-reader — just with parental controls you can turn off and no ads. Like the standard model, the kid-friendly Kindle Paperwhite offers IPX8 waterproofing, so you won’t need to worry it’ll break if it gets wet as you lounge by the pool. With its exceptionally sharp 6.8-inch display and adjustable warm white frontlight, the e-reader is clear to read no matter the time of day. It also comes with months-long battery life along with a USB-C port for fast charging, so it should be able to handle long flights just fine. Read our 2021 Kindle Paperwhite review.
The Z Flip 5 is a 6.7-inch flip phone you can fold in half for greater portability. This year, it comes with a larger 3.4-inch cover screen, which makes it easier to look at and interact with apps. It also comes with the Samsung Galaxy S23’s fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor along with a dual-camera setup.
Alternatively, you can preorder the Galaxy Z Fold 5 — which starts at $1,799.99 — from Amazon with a $200 gift card. Best Buy is also throwing in a $100 gift card when you preorder the device there. The Fold 5 also folds in half but like a book, with a 7.6-inch inner display and a 6.2-inch cover screen. Plus, this year, Samsung updated its hinge so that it’s now capable of folding flat while adding the same snappy processor found in the Flip 5.
