TOP DEAL

Amazon Kindle 16GB

This is the lightest and most compact Kindle yet, with a glare-free, six-inch display and adjustable lighting.

The Kindle is one of the best e-readers you can buy for travel and outdoor reading. It supports all of the most popular digital book formats, plus Audible audiobooks. Every title from your Audible library will be accessible on the Kindle, and you can stream them through a pair of Bluetooth headphones or speaker. The Kindle’s warm backlit screen makes it easy to read in the dark without turning on a desk-side lamp and the crisp display now features thinner borders and a more grippy shell.

Beyond that, the Kindle has all of the same features that have made Amazon’s e-readers incredibly popular. Its e-ink screen doesn’t show glare in the sun like a phone or tablet; it can store hundreds of books (or dozens of audiobooks) on its 16GB drive, it’s as light and small as a standard paperback, and its battery can last weeks — up to six weeks to be exact, according to Amazon.

Need to stock up on reading material? You can get access to Amazon’s Kindle store on the device itself and this new Kindle deal gets you three free months of Kindle Unlimited, so you can read everything from books to magazines and more for free.

If you want a durable, long-lasting e-reader for casual reading and everyday use, the Amazon Kindle is an excellent choice. Add on the three free months of Kindle Unlimited, and you’re getting the best deal on one of the newest and best e-readers on the market (just keep in mind you’ll pay the standard $11.99 monthly subscription after the trial’s over).

Already a great deal at its regular price of $109.99, get the six-inch Kindle on sale now for $84.99 here. Choose from a black or “matcha” green colorway.

ALSO ON SALE

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB

Another great value? The Kindle Paperwhite is discounted to just $124.99 for Amazon Prime Day. The deal gets you the popular e-reader tablet with a larger seven-inch display, more realistic text, and weeks of battery life for $10 cheaper than its last discount during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale in March.

Amazon says the Kindle Paperwhite has 20% faster loading and 25% faster “page” turns. What’s more, a single charge via USB-C gives you up to 12 weeks of battery life. Choose from three colors on sale.

KINDLE COLORSOFT DEAL

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft 16 GB

If you’re reading books with photographs, graphic novels or magazines, you’ll want to upgrade to the Kindle Colorsoft, which is on sale for $159 this week — a 36% discount. This is one of the first times we’re seeing this new Kindle on sale since it launched last year.

The Colorsoft lets you read books and scroll content in full color, with the ability to highlight in color too. The e-reader tablet is waterproof and glare-free. A single charge gets you a whopping eight weeks(!) of battery life.

KINDLE SCRIBE DEAL

Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft 32GB (newest model)

And you can pick up the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft edition on sale for under $500 for the first time. We were able to test out this digital notebook during a visit to the Amazon offices earlier this year and were impressed with the big 11-inch screen, the super fast responsiveness with the included pen, and how easily you can import and export content to your Google drive or device.

Turn on the AI-powered tools in the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to search for a particular phrase or piece of information in your notes, get help with the subject matter (literally) at hand or to refine your handwriting to make it more readable. You can even convert your digital notes to text.

As with all Amazon deals, pricing could change at any time so we recommend adding to cart now.
