The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is my favorite Kindle for most people because it is water resistant, making it perfect for reading at the beach or in the tub. That also means it's just more durable than the basic Kindle, though to be fair, Amazon says it will replace a Kindle Kids device for free if your kids break it.

This on-sale New Kindle Scribe combines a 16GB e-reader and e-notebook device with a 3 month subscription of Kindle Unlimited, built-in AI summarization capabilities and lightweight smart stylus for the ultimate productivity starter pack.

The latest Amazon Kindle is on sale for $85 as part of a Prime Day promotion. This is a discount of $25 and represents a record-low price for the ereader. This is the model that was released in 2024 and the sale includes both colorways.
