Amazon Just Slashed the Price of This Best-selling Kindle for October Prime Day — but Not for Much Longer

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is well underway, but seeing as the event ends tonight at midnight, you don’t have much longer to make the most of the groundbreaking prices floating around on the site right now. Perhaps the most enticing deal of all is the Kindle Paperwhite which makes for the perfect companion to travelers who love reading on the go — and right now it’s even discounted to just $95. 

Still a diehard paperback fan? Take it from travelers who say that this compact device is a must-have for transporting their entire literary library on vacation without checking a bag.

Kindle Paperwhite

This shopper-loved e-reader is unsurprisingly a best-seller at Amazon and is one of the most packable and lightweight ways to bring your favorite books with you on vacation without weighing down your suitcase. The slim design of this device sits at just 6.8 inches and boasts up to 10 weeks of battery life, meaning there’s one less charger you need to worry about packing for your trip. 

Whether you’re taking this Kindle with you on a beach vacation or simply enjoying soaking up the sun while getting your reading done at home, the display of this device is designed for glare-free viewing which is so easy to read that it looks just like real paper. 

The compact e-reader has enough storage for thousands of titles without forcing you to be picky with the books you keep, and you can even connect your account to your local library to get books on loan — not to mention access to the entire Kindle library. And if you’re worried about taking your Kindle to the beach or poolside (or even into the bathtub), you can rest assured that this device is designed for a waterproof reading experience.

More than 35,100 shoppers have given this Kindle a five-star rating at Amazon, proving that even the most dedicated readers can appreciate the convenience of this lightweight device for their travels. In fact, one customer raved that they “regret” that they “didn’t purchase” their Kindle sooner, noting that they “decided to splurge” ahead of a two-week vacation, and “now carry [their] Kindle everywhere” to “pass the time.” They even called it a “total game-changer” for reading “in bed without a book light” at night. Meanwhile, another shopper called it “perfect for travel, and the rest of your days,” after stating that “this Kindle is quite possibly the best purchase” they have “ever made.” 

Travelers have also admitted that this compact device has replaced physical books when they’re out and about, with one reviewer revealing that the Kindle is “lightweight, easy-to-use, [and] the battery lasts for weeks.” They even noted that they “still like” their hardback books, but “only for home reading.” 

Still on the fence? Take it from this shopper, who shared that they were previously in a similar position, but ultimately found the device to be “perfect to read in bed without disturbing your partner with a lamp on,” and allows them to “highlight quotes and bookmark pages without worrying” about “ruining a physical book.”

The Kindle Paperwhite is still currently discounted to under $100 as part of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, but this ultra-low price will only last until the event ends at midnight tonight. Whether you’re looking for a way to transport your personal library along with you on your next vacation, or hope to read in bed until the wee hours of the night without keeping your bedmate awake, this lightweight device is the affordable solution for every bookworm.
