You deserve a chill summer staycation, and this Kindle Prime Day deal is just what you need
Some of us like ot travel and explore during the summer, while others just prefer to relax and take it easy. I've already highlighted some enticing Prime Day deals for essential travel accessories, but what about for those of you staying home? Well, Amazon has just the thing for readers with this deal on the 16GB Kindle.
This model launched in 2024, but it's currently the latest base Kindle model available. Originally $110, this 23% discount brings it down to $85 and includes three months of Kindle Unlimited. However, keep in mind that this price still comes with lock-screen ads, which will set you back $104 (down from $129) to get rid of.
This Kindle deal is more than meets the eye, because not only are you getting $25 off an excellent e-reader, but you can also get three months of free Kindle Unlimited. All you have to do is select the option on the product page and be sure to remember when it will auto-renew. Otherwise, skip the subscription and just start growing your library!View Deal
Recommended if: You love to read but don't own a lot of physical books or want an easy way to take your favorite books with you on the go.
Skip this deal if: You want a larger e-reader with more than 16GB of storage and with support for color.
I reviewed the 2022 Kindle model, and it turned me into a believer in e-readers, thanks to its compact size, very readable display, and long battery life. However, a few things annoyed me, such as the choppiness of the animations, and Amazon says the 2024 model has faster page turns, which hopefully addresses my complaint.
Otherwise, the 16GB of storage can hold thousands of books, which you can download from the Kindle store or upload to the device. And the display is plenty bright and easy on the eyes, making it a great alternative to a physical book.
The Kindle also lasts for up to six weeks per charge, so you don't have to worry about the battery dying while you're on your little staycation. But if it does, be ready to sit around while it charges, as it can take up to 2 hours at 9W. Honestly, it's a small price to pay when the battery lasts that long.
