Amazon isn't quite done with its Black Friday e-reader deals. After it put several other Kindles on sale, the company has dropped the price of the latest Kindle Paperwhite from $140 to $105.Buy Kindle Paperwhite at Amazon - $105The fifth-gen Paperwhite, the first refresh in three years, was announced in September. It has a larger screen than the previous model at 6.8 inches (the last-gen Paperwhite had a six-inch display). Amazon claims the 300 ppi screen looks like real paper and the glare-free screen enables "easy reading" in any condition, including direct sunlight.

The fifth-gen Paperwhite is water resistant and there's support for USB-C fast charging.Meanwhile, the Kindle Oasis is on sale too. The 8GB model, which typically costs $250, is currently available for $175.
