It's the weekend, which means the time has come for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes the lowest price we've tracked for Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite. The 8GB, ad-supported version of the e-reader is currently down to $95 at Target and Best Buy, which matches the discount we saw during Amazon's Prime Day sale. Both retailers say this deal will last through Saturday.

It's worth noting that the Kids version of the Paperwhite is on sale for $10 more, though. That also matches the lowest price we've tracked. This variant is marketed toward children and includes a year of Amazon's Kids+ service, but its hardware is identical to the standard model, plus it comes with a two-year warranty (compared to one year for the base model), a useful case, and, notably, no lockscreen ads. If you don't mind spending a little bit extra, it may be the better overall value.
