Amazon Prime Day Kindle deals
Shortly after moving to New York nearly three years ago, I needed an easier way to read while commuting — whether it was on the subway into work, or on plane rides home. Enter: the Amazon Kindle.
I was against e-readers at first, loving the feeling of holding a physical book in my hands, but since purchasing, I've been trying to convince everyone else in my life they need one too. Renting books from the library is simple and traveling with multiple books is also easier (and lighter!) than ever.
Young readers can still clutch a screen and complete their summer reading list thanks to a kid-friendly Kindle. From graphic novels to picture books, the Harry Potter series and more, they'll remain distraction-free thanks to this tablet's notification and app-free model.
Read virtually anywhere with this Kindle, which includes a dim, warm light so as not to annoy fellow plane passengers, a screen that clearly displays words, not the glare reflecting from the sun and a battery that promises to last the entire duration of your vacation.
This splurge-worthy device allows you to highlight notes in an online textbook, draw exclamation points around self-help quotes, or underline important sentences to save for later.
You can expand the margins, summarize and clean up notes with an added AI tool and do it all with the included Premium Pen.

How we chose
We meticulously combed through thousands of products on sale during Amazon Prime Day 2025 to determine the absolute best Prime Day deals during the four-day event, identifying expert recommendations from previous reporting on Shop TODAY and staff-tested award winners. We polled editors on their go-to beach reads, books that they have their eyes on this Prime Day and devices and accessories they rely on for a good reading session.
We also consider factors like a high average rating (of over four stars), the amount of verified shopper ratings (over 1,000) and specific user feedback. From there, we fact-check each deal through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure that they’re at their lowest price in at least three months (or, in some instances, their lowest price ever).
