Amazon's best Kindles are cheaper than ever during Prime Day
Summer travel season is in full swing, and whether you're headed to the beach, a weekend getaway, or just staying home in the A/C, here are some good Prime Day deals for readers. The latest Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Essential let you carry an entire library without the bulk, and right now, Prime members can buy the 16GB Paperwhite with ads for just $124.99 ($35 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. The ad-free Kindle Colorsoft Signature Essential, which is nearly identical to the Paperwhite but includes a color display, wireless charging, and 32GB of storage, is currently available for $179.99 ($100 off) at Amazon. Both mark new lows and are the best prices we've seen since Black Friday 2024. If you own a lot of Kindle books, these are the best e-readers on the market. Each weighs a bit less than the iPhone 16 Pro Max and they sport 7-inch screens that make them easy to pack yet large enough for comfortable reading. In fact, the Paperwhite's 300ppi display is the biggest and brightest of any model in the lineup to date, and the fastest too, which makes flipping through pages a breeze. The Colorsoft combines that sharp 300ppi monochrome display with a 150ppi color mode that looks vibrant compared to rivals like the Kobo Libra Colour. One feature I especially appreciate is their IPX8 waterproof rating. I don't have to worry about accidental splashes, whether I'm reading poolside or relaxing in the bathtub. I also like that both e-readers offer an adjustable warm light, which makes night reading easier on the eyes. Truthfully, the feature hasn't turned me into a morning person yet, but at least I'm well-read. Amazon's latest Paperwhite features a larger seven-inch display and noticeably faster performance. It also boasts longer battery life than the previous model, retains IPX8 waterproofing, and includes a USB-C port. Read our review. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is Amazon's first e-reader with a color display. It also boasts 32GB of storage, waterproofing, and support for wireless charging. Read our review.

Amazon Celebrates Prime Day, the New Kindle Color Sees a 40% Drop to Its Lowest Price Yet
With summer holidays approaching, Kindle sales are increasing: Nobody wants to lug heavy books around on holiday, and a Kindle gives the perfect solution to avoid that. Black and white only was all Kindle readers could do for years, but now color has arrived, and the new ones are fast on the best-seller charts. This Prime Day, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition 32GB is available at an all-time low, nearly 40% off: For $179, down from the regular $279, this is a deal that's hard to overlook if you're looking for some good digital books. See at Amazon The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is Amazon's latest innovation in the e-reader space and it brings a host of improvements over the classic Paperwhite. The most obvious upgrade is the 7-inch Colorsoft display which delivers high-contrast, paper-like color that makes book covers and comics come alive. If you're used to the monochrome experience of the Paperwhite, the difference is immediately noticeable. Battery life is also among the positives of the Colorsoft Signature Edition: Eight weeks of usage from a single USB-C charge translates into hours of uninterrupted reading without having to concern oneself with running out of power. For even more ease of use, the product also supports wireless charging via a compatible dock (not included) so you can simply put it and recharge the battery. Auto-adjusting front light ensures that reading is always comfortable wherever you may be, whether you're lounging by the pool in the sun or reading in bed late at night. The glare-free screen means you're never disturbed by reflections, and the waterproof build lets you carry your Kindle anywhere without worrying.

If you're looking for a way to rediscover your love of reading, this is the best choice available right now. See at Amazon

You'll Regret It If You Already Have One: Kindle Paperwhite Hits a New Record Low This Prime Day
Every summer season, Kindle sales are the highest because people organize vacations and do not want to lug around stacks of books. The Kindle is the perfect travel companion: it occupies virtually no space, is as close to reading a real book as can be, and can hold thousands of books. For Prime Day, Amazon is providing Prime members with an unbeatable value on the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB), now priced at a new all-time low. It is currently marked down to $149, which is a massive 25% off its normal $199 price. This is an all-time low for Amazon's new state-of-the-art Kindle and with more than 10,000 units sold in a few days alone, safe to say readers are listening. See at Amazon What sets the Signature Edition apart is its next-generation 7-inch Paperwhite display which delivers a higher contrast ratio and 25% faster page turns compared to previous models. The screen is glare-free and ultra-thin so whether you're reading by the pool or in bed at night, your pages stay sharp and easy to read. The auto-adjusting front light is a nice bonus, and automatically adjusts to your setting so that you may read in bright sunlight or darkest darkness without putting a strain on your eyes. With 32GB of storage for this Signature Edition, you can carry an entire library with you (a thousand books, audiobooks, and comics) without ever fearing that you will run out of room. That's a big improvement compared to the standard Paperwhite which typically holds less (16GB) and can easily fill up if you're a fan of downloading new content or listening to audiobooks. The Kindle Signature Edition is also the only model in the range to have wireless charging so you can simply place it on an appropriate dock and refuel the battery without needing to find cables. Battery life is also impressive with up to 12 weeks' worth of use from a single USB-C charge so you can make long trips without needing to carry a charger with you. The device is also water-resistant, obviously. At $149, it's an unbeatable deal for Prime Day, and the perfect time to buy this Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. See at Amazon

Prime Day shoppers rush to buy £95 Kindle for £75 – here's why it's the one you should buy
AMAZON Prime Day is back, and this Kindle deal is one you don't want to miss. The latest Kindle (16GB) has dropped from £94.99 to just £74.99, and it's no surprise shoppers are moving fast to grab it. 1 Kindle (2024) 16GB, £94.99 £74.99 Amazon has slashed prices across all Kindles for Prime Day, but this latest model is the one I'm recommending to everyone. It's currently the second-best selling e-reader on Amazon. The latest Kindle is on sale for just £74.99, a real bargain for what it offers. When the Kindle (2022) launched, I gave it high praise as the best entry-level Kindle around. Since then, it's had a few upgrades that make it even better. It's now the lightest and most compact Kindle in the lineup, and those small changes really add up. The front light is 25% brighter, perfect if you like reading outdoors or in well-lit rooms. The screen has a higher contrast ratio, so text will look sharper, clearer, and easier on your eyes. Page turns are faster too, meaning flipping through your favourite books should feel smoother and more natural. Visually, not much has changed aside from a fresh Matcha colour option, and you still get that trusty 6-inch glare-free display. You can check out my Kindle 2022 review for the full details, but this new version builds on everything that made it great. There are a few things that haven't changed, but as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You've still got 16GB of storage; enough room for thousands of books, so your 'to-be-read' pile can keep growing without worry. Battery life remains impressive too, lasting up to six weeks on a single charge, depending on how much you read. It's not just me singing the e-reader's praises; thousands of glowing reviews and a solid 4.5-star rating prove shoppers are just as impressed. One shopper shared, 'The storage is perfect, I have just shy of 3000 books on it and I've only used a little under 4GB of space.' Another added, 'The glare-free display is a delight, even in bright sunlight, and the front light is fully adjustable so I can read comfortably.' They went on to say, 'Page turns are noticeably faster than older models, making switching between books or chapters smoother.' If you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, you unlock access to a massive library of exclusive books, audiobooks, and magazines.

Amazon Slashes Price On Its Kindle Colorsoft Just In Time For Father's Day
Amazon refreshed its range of Kindle ebook readers last October, with an overhaul for the entire range. It included the first ever color Kindle, called the Colorsoft. That Kindle is suddenly on sale for 19% off. Kindle Colorsoft. The thing about the Kindle Colorsoft is that it has been highly praised, but many commenters said that there was just one problem: the price. If that was the barrier for you to upgrading, the current offer may tempt you. Available at the U.K. Amazon site, it's currently the only one of the latest Kindle range to see a price cut. And it's a sizeable one: £50 ($67.30) off means the price tumbles from £269.99 ($363) to £219.99 ($296.12). Here's the link. The deals highlighted in this post were independently selected by the Contributor and do not contain affiliate links. The Colorsoft has a lot in common with the Kindle Paperwhite: both have the fastest page turns ever on Kindle, and seven-inch screens (the basic Kindle, for comparison, has a six-inch display), have flush-front designs and are waterproof so you can read in the bath without panicking. The Colorsoft is only available in what's called a Signature Edition, which has 32GB storage. The Paperwhite also comes in a Signature Edition and it matches this 32GB storage. Both Signature Editions have auto-adjusting front light sensors, while the regular Paperwhite needs you to adjust the brightness yourself. Oh, and both Signature Editions are wireless-chargeable. Of course, the other big difference is that the Colorsoft has a color display, with subtle, pastel colors bringing cookery books, travel guides and graphic novels to life. The thing is, the price cut has now brought the price of the Colorsoft much closer to the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition's cost of £189.99 ($256). So, if you were thinking of moving up to the Paperwhite Signature Edition, an extra £30 ($40) gains you color as well. What's more, if you have an old Kindle that works, you can trade it in to save more money, up to 20% extra.
