I was originally against buying a Kindle. I already had an iPad and that worked perfectly fine as a reading tablet. But then my family bought me a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas last year and I haven't been able to go back. The paper-like display makes it feel more like you're reading an actual physical book and the adjustable backlight is wonderful for reading in bed at night. Now that I've experienced the reading experience for myself, I highly recommend it to any fellow binge-readers out there.
Like all of the newer Kindle models, the Paperwhite is a fairly expensive purchase to make without a significant discount. Amazon doesn't have good Kindle deals very often, so seeing this model down to its lowest price ever for Prime Day is noteworthy. It's a great price and despite already owning one, I'm tempted to pick one up to give as a gift during the holiday season.
The Kindle Paperwhite Drops to a New Low Price for Prime Day
Like I mentioned above, this is the lowest price we've ever seen for the newest Paperwhite. The last time this Kindle was discounted this heavily was during Black Friday last year, but this price is even lower than that. As the latest model, it comes with a larger 7-inch display. Compared to the standard Kindle, it's bigger, faster, and an overall better reading experience. My wife has the regular Kindle and whenever I've used it I've always been dissatisfied with the smaller screen. If you have enough money to spring for the more expensive Paperwhite during this sale, I recommend doing so.
In addition to the e-reader itself, you can also opt in to a 3-month free trial of Kindle Unlimited with your purchase. You don't have to try it out, but it is an overall great service if you're someone who reads a lot of books. I personally read 3-5 books (usually LitRPG) each month and they are almost always included with my monthly subscription.
You should probably also get a cover
While you can certainly use any Kindle without a cover, I do recommend you get one. All of the newer models feature an automatic sleep mode that only activates if you have a compatible cover to close when you're done reading. The official case works great if you want to pick that one up, but there are a few other Paperwhite covers I'd recommend as well. I've featured all of these above.
More Prime Day Book Deals
In addition to a variety of other Prime Day Kindle deals Amazon has available right now, there are also discounts on physical books. Most notably, there's a massive buy 2, get 1 free book sale happening right now that is absolutely worth taking advantage of. Here are some of the best deals included in that Prime Day promotion.
