If you’re looking to save on just about anything – from homewares to appliances to tech galore – check out our list of the best deals from the Prime Early Access Sale (aka Second Prime Day).
Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale (which many people refer to as the “second Prime Day”) has officially started. The e-retail giant has rolled out incredible deals on all sorts of products, including mattresses, coffee makers and all manner of consumer electronics. In fact, much of Amazon’s own tech gear, including a selection of Kindle e-readers, is now on sale.
If you’ve been considering buying an e-reader, now is a good time to get one. Not only are they a great investment for avid readers, as the slim slates are distraction-free and super portable, but some Amazon Kindles — which are some of the best e-readers you can buy — are more than 30% cheaper right now. Plus, many of them can also be used to listen to audiobooks (via Audible) if you pair wireless earbuds or headphones with the device.
There are several variants of the Kindle. The differences lie in the screen size, storage capacity, different brightness and additional functions (eg automatic page change and page turning buttons). Below are some discounted models to consider.
The best Amazon Prime Day Kindle deals to shop now
Save $55 on a Kindle with lots of storage
Currently enjoying a 29% discount, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature sells for just $134 — the lowest price we’ve seen for this e-reader all year. Compared to the regular Paperwhite Kindle, the Signature has a few bonus features that set it apart: notably wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light. Also, it comes with 32GB of storage, which is enough space to expand your virtual library of e-books and audiobooks. The battery life is up to 10 weeks. Oh, and it’s also waterproof (IPX8 certified) so you can even read in the bath.
$80 off a Kindle with a larger screen and adjustable warm light
With a 7-inch screen, the Kindle Oasis is slightly larger than the Paperwhite, making it ideal for those who want a little more reading space. It’s a slightly older model than the Signature, but you can save on several variants of the Oasis during the Prime Early Access Sale. Choose from 8GB or 32GB of storage – with or without lock screen ads (you’ll save more if you accept the ads). The Oasis has a warm, adjustable light to make your reading experience more enjoyable, and it’s waterproof so you can read comfortably at the beach or in the bath. It also works seamlessly with Audible to enjoy audiobooks.
During the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale event, Amazon is offering the Kindle Oasis Essentials Bundle for just $190. It includes an ad-supported Oasis e-reader with 8 GB of memory, a cloth case (in anthracite grey) and a power adapter.
Enjoy 30% savings on a Paperwhite, now with more gigabytes
The Paperwhite, currently 30% off, is another great Kindle option. The main difference between this model and the Signature is that the basic Paperwhite lacks an auto-adjusting light. The larger 16GB capacity is new for this model, so take advantage of additional savings from increased storage while you can. It offers a 10-week battery life between charges and an anti-glare 6.8-inch display. Best of all, if you want to trade in an older Kindle e-reader, Amazon gives you an additional 20% discount on this Kindle Paperwhite.
Save $50 on a kid-friendly Kindle
That’s right – there’s a kid-friendly Kindle out there, and right now you can fetch it for $50 less. The bundle includes a subscription to Amazon Kids+, a service with age-appropriate books, games, and more. This model also comes with a two-year warranty (which is a year longer than standard Kindle models), so you don’t have to worry about wear and tear. Choose between three protective cases: black, emerald forest or a bright yellow robot motif.
Get the Standard Kindle for a great deal
If you’re looking for a lightweight and compact e-reader, this newly upgraded and remastered Kindle offers a 6-inch, anti-glare display with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. The battery life is up to six weeks. This version of the Kindle includes 16GB of storage, enough for thousands of e-books or hundreds of audiobooks. The 20 percent trade-in offer detailed above also applies to this model—perfect time to upgrade for just $80.
A preview of Kindles to come
The latest Kindle model is available for pre-order and is sure to be pretty awesome. This is the first device in Amazon’s e-reader suite that lets you handwrite directly on the screen using the included stylus.
The Scribe has a 10.2-inch paperwhite display (with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch) and 16GB of storage. Not only can you use the Scribe to read your favorite books, but you can also create notebooks, journals and lists using a variety of templates. This e-reader has an adjustable warm light built in with 35 LEDs, so it can be used in direct sunlight, in a dark room, and everywhere in between. As mentioned above, the trade-in deal applies here too: If you trade in your old Kindle e-reader, you can buy the Scribe for $272 and get it until November 30th. It’s a powerful upgrade for almost every older e-reader on the market.
The best deals on Kindle accessories to buy now
Once you’ve picked up your new Kindle e-reader, you’re sure to find the accessories listed below useful. Even better news, many of these items are on sale for Amazon Prime Early Access (aka Second Prime Day).
Enhance your reading experience with Kindle Unlimited
No matter which Amazon Kindle e-reader you choose, you can save money every month by subscribing to the Kindle Unlimited Service for just $10 a month. It includes unlimited access to over two million eBooks, thousands of audiobooks, and a subscription to three digital editions of your choice of popular magazines. Instead of buying eBooks or audiobooks individually (which usually costs as much as buying a paperback), you have access to a massive library of books anytime, anywhere. This is a must read for avid readers. Start with a free 30-day trial.
Pair almost any Kindle with these range of wireless earbuds
If you want to listen to audiobooks on almost every current Kindle e-reader model, you’ll need to pair the device with either wireless earbuds or headphones. Of course, Amazon’s own Echo Buds (2nd gen) are a great and inexpensive option – especially since they’re currently on sale for just $70 (that’s a 42% discount). However, any Bluetooth (wireless) earphones or headphones will work. Check out our recently published reviews for more options.
Take care of your new Kindle with this discounted case
A great e-reader needs a protective case to protect it from scuffs and scratches. That’s where this highly rated article comes in. Compatible with the latest generations of Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Paperwhite Signature models and available in almost 30 colors (including fun prints), this handsome vegan leather case has a handful of great features: a foldable stand to prop the device up and hands-free use, a handy slot for storing cards, and an attachable wrist strap to secure the device while you flip through each digital page of your book. There’s also a 36% discount for Prime Day.
