I've always enjoyed physical books, simply because nothing quite beats the feeling of achievement you feel at the close of the final page. I have a summer getaway coming up, and reading by the poolside or at the beach is one of the best forms of relaxation.

However, squeezing multiple novels into my luggage isn't realistic, so with that in mind, this could be the year I decide to go digital for a reasonable price that is. Right now, Amazon's most recent standard version Kindle is now down to $84.99 in the US (was $109.99) , and it's even cheaper in the UK at 75.99 (was 94.99) . Today's best Kindle deals Amazon Kindle 16GB (2024 release): was $109.99 now $84.99 at Amazon Prime Day discounts on the 2024 Kindle don't come as generous as they do during Black Friday, but you won't come across a better deal at any other time of year. For Amazon's most recent standard version Kindle, $85 isn't the worst price for an e-reader that
covers the basics, but it has been cheaper in the past. View Deal Amazon Kindle 16GB (2024 release): was 94.99 now 75.99 at Amazon Likewise with
Amazon UK, the 2024 Kindle generally gets a better deal at Black Friday, but Prime Day is a very close second. Given it's 55 cheaper than the Paperwhite, this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader who's after a more budget-friendly option. View Deal Amazon has some of the best e-readers out there, and they range from basic models to more advanced ones like the Kindle Scribe which are designed for note-taking and productivity. But they're often very pricey, even after a Prime Day discount is applied.

The 2024 Kindle is our best budget e-reader even when it's not Prime Day, and it's an ideal model if you're only after reading tools and not the bells and whistles of its Scribe sibling. This model is also not a bulky device that's going to take up loads of room when on the move (it has an easy-to-read
6-inch screen).

Additionally, many previous-generation Kindle owners may not be too thrilled with Amazon's recent decisions to axe support for older devices , even though you're still using them despite their declining functionality. If an upgrade is what you're looking for, we believe the performance alone will be worth your while. More Prime Day deals in the US Amazon Devices : Fire Sticks &
