Listen up, readers: this is the only Kindle hack you’ll ever need.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is currently running through March 31, and if you’re looking to upgrade or perhaps buy your first Kindle, now’s the perfect time.

Right now, the newest model of the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is 25% off, marking the deepest discount we’ve seen on a Kindle during the sale so far. But don’t let the name fool you; this Kindle for kids is not just for kids.

In fact, you’ll actually get a better deal overall buying a Kindle Paperwhite Kids than you would purchasing the adult Paperwhite.

There’s nothing different about the actual device at all; it is literally just the black Kindle Paperwhite in a fun case (that you can take off and never look at again, if you don’t want to). It has the same 7-inch anti-glare screen, long battery life, and fast page turns that make the Paperwhite one of the best e-readers.

You can opt out of the totally optional six-month Kindle Kids subscription and dive right into your favorite adult books. What makes this a sweet deal, though, is the included two-year warranty, where your Kindle will be replaced if it breaks, no questions asked.

The TL;DR is this: the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is for everyone, and we definitely recommend shopping it on sale now. It’s currently on sale for $139.99, which is $20 less than the non-discounted Kindle Paperwhite.

In addition to the 25% discount noted in the price below, you can save an additional $20 if you buy two Kindle Paperwhite Kids edition devices — think of it as Mommy & Me e-readers.
