You’re in luck if you’ve chosen Amazon’s Kindle Oasis eReader but let the official price of over $ 250 put you off. Amazon’s Woot brand is offering a one-day sale on the previous generation Kindle Oasis (i.e. as of 2017) with 8GB of storage and ads, bringing the price down to just $ 149.99.

Make sure you act quickly – the deal expires at midnight.
The 7-inch display with 300 ppi remains clearer and more legible than ever before. Thanks to the integrated lighting, you can finish chapters in the dark. This was also the first waterproof Kindle.

Think of this as a small upgrade that makes reading more convenient without spending up to $ 100 more on the privilege.
