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.
