Amazon just slashed the price of the best Kindles — here's 5 deals I recommend
Amazon is holding a huge Kindle sale with up to $100 off Kindles
It's the perfect time to buy a Kindle. These slim, lightweight e-readers are ideal companions for digging through a sci-fi epic while traveling during the summer. Not to mention they make excellent Mother's Day gifts.
Luckily, Amazon has just launched a big sale that discounts some of the best Kindles. You can get our favorite, the Kindle Paperwhite for $114 at Amazon. Its 6.8-inch flush display looks fantastic, and it can survive accidental submersion in water. Or, if you're on a smaller budget, the basic Kindle is on sale for $79 at Amazon.

Amazon Kindle: was $99 now $79 @ Amazon
The Amazon Kindle is one of the smallest and most lightweight e-readers around. With a crisp display and 6-week battery life, this is the Kindle to buy for shoppers on a budget. Amazon is even throwing in three months of Kindle Unlimited. We wish this Kindle was waterproof, though.

Kindle Paperwhite: was $149 now $114 @ Amazon
If you want to read at the beach or by the pool, the waterproof Kindle Paperwhite is the best model for you. It's got a 6.8-inch flush-to-screen display, an adjustable warm light and 16GB of storage. It's currently $35 off and bundled with 3 months of Kindle Unlimited, making it one of the best Kindle deals you can get.

Kindle Scribe: was $339 now $239 @ Amazon
The Kindle Scribe is the first Amazon e-reader you can write on. It has a 10.2-inch 300 ppi display, an adjustable light, and comes with the Basic Pen included. You can handwrite sticky notes on your Kindle books, edit documents, and create notebooks and journals. In our Kindle Scribe review we said its larger screen size, screen quality, and general design are great for reading, but make it a tough sell at its full price. Now on sale, it's a batter bargain and easier to recommend.

Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle: was $204 now $149 @ Amazon
This bundle includes the 16GB version of the excellent Kindle Paperwhite alongside a fabric protective cover and a power adapter. You've got a choice of Agave Green, Black or Denim Blue when it comes to the cover and the 16GB space will hold enough books to keep you reading for a long time yet.
Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition: was $257 now $237 @ Amazon
This deal involves the 32GB Kindle Paperwhite bundled with the Agave Green fabric cover. You won't be bothered by ads on the lockscreen (a pitfall of buying cheaper Kindles) and you also get a smart docking station that acts as a charger. The Paperwhite charges via USB-C and also has an adjustable warm backlight for easy-on-the-eyes nighttime reading.
