The second and final day of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is underway, giving Prime members exclusive access to deals across categories like electronics, kitchen appliances and beauty and wellness essentials. If you’ve been e-reader curious or just want to upgrade your current model, Amazon is currently discounting a handful of Kindle options during the sale. The Kindle Paperwhite is our pick for the best e-reader, and right now, the newest model is on sale for its lowest price ever.
The newest Paperwhite is the brand’s fastest e-reader, and it lasts up to 12 weeks on a single charge, according to Amazon. It’s glare-free screen makes it easy to see in any environment, including in direct sunlight. It’s also waterproof for worry-free use in the bath or by the pool, and you can adjust the font, text size and backlight temperature for eye-friendly reading. “I bought my first Kindle years ago during a Prime Day sale and have never looked back,” says NBC Select editor Lindsay Schneider. “The screens make it so easy to read no matter your light situation, and it’s super lightweight and thin, too, which makes it nice to travel with.”
