Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today's list is headlined by a deal on Amazon's latest Kindle Paperwhite, which is currently available for $100. That's the typical sale price Amazon likes to slap on its e-book reader every now and then, but it's still good for a solid $30 discount.

You can check out our review of the Kindle Paperwhite for more in-depth feedback, but the short take on the 10th-gen e-reader is that it's the obvious choice for most people in this market. It's still light (6.4 ounces), thin (0.32 inches), and easy to use, with a massive library of things to read. The 6-inch display is still sharp (300 ppi), bright, and evenly lit, and it now sits flush against the display instead of having a cheaper recessed look.

The big upgrade with this particular model is that it's now waterproof with an IPX8 rating, so there's no need to worry about dropping it in the tub or getting it soaked by the pool. It can now play Audible audiobooks back through Bluetooth headphones, too-though there's no headphone jack-and its battery should last for weeks before it needs recharging.
