The season of sitting outside in the sun and reading is upon us \u2014 and, fortunately, so is a sale on Kindle<\/a> e-readers. Amazon is running a deal on its adult and kids Kindles, with the original model<\/a> down from $100 to $80 \u2014 a 16 percent discount. At this price, the base model is just short of its all-time lowest offer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The standard Kindle’s 2022 edition brought some significant improvements, like a 300PPI display and up to six weeks of battery life. It also expanded from 8GB to 16 GB of storage, which Amazon says can hold “thousands of books.” The compact e-reader has a six-inch glare-free screen and is a good compact option for carrying around without much extra weight (it’s only about one-third of a pound).\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amazon’s more advanced Kindle Paperwhite<\/a> is another good option, with a 21 percent discount bringing the 8GB model to $110 from $140. Its 16GB version is only a few dollars more, with a 23 percent discount dropping it to $115. The Paperwhite has a slightly bigger screen (6.8 inches) than the base model, holds up to ten weeks of battery life and offers an adjustable warm light. It’s also a good option if you plan to bring your Kindle to the beach or pool, as it’s water-resistant. If you’re looking for something with even more bells and whistles, the Paperwhite Signature<\/a> is on sale for $145 from $190. It offers wireless charging, 32 GB of storage and an automatically adjusting front light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kindle Kids standard<\/a> and Kids Paperwhite<\/a> editions round out the deals, with the 8GB base model dropping 29 percent to $85 from $120. The sale’s largest discount comes courtesy of the Kindle Paperwhite Kids, dropping to $100 from $160 \u2014 a 38 percent discount. Each model offers the same features as its adult counterparts, plus a free year subscription to Amazon Kids+<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
