Spoiler alert: Every model is on sale as we speak. Run!SHOP KINDLES ON SALEIf you're still on the fence about nabbing a Kindle, take it from me: I read roughly 150 books a year on my devices and have tried them all, from the entry-level model to the waterproof Paperwhite and sleek Colorsoft. A Kindle comes with me quite literally everywhere I go, and it’s honestly the number-one thing I'd bring with me on a deserted island. Don't get me wrong, I love a physical book, but the convenience and portability of a Kindle is unmatched.Among all the incredible tech deals we're seeing, Amazon's rare Kindle discounts top our list. I'm talking over 30% off, but you only have a limited time to take advantage. October Prime Day ends tomorrow, October 7, so time is of the essence to save over $100 on a fresh Kindle, depending on which model you choose.Below, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about each model, so you can pick the one that best suits your reading habits. The only thing left to do is hit add to cart—then decide which BookTok fave you'll be tackling first.Are Kindles on sale during Amazon Prime Day?Yes! In fact, every single model is on sale, with discounts of up to 34 percent. Right now, the standard Kindle is just $104, making it Amazon's most affordable e-reader. That stunning Colorsoft is $100 off for Prime Day. Plus, the popular Paperwhite is just $150, while the slightly fancier Paperwhite Signature is $80 off for the next few days. (Btw, as a self-proclaimed Kindle expert, I know they rarely go on sale, so these discounts are likely the only opportunity you'll have to save until Black Friday.)Here are the differences between each Kindle:for those who want to bring their Kindle everywhereAmazon's most compact Kindle offers all of the features that made Amazon's e-reader famous at a wallet-friendly price. Despite its smaller footprint (the screen is just 6 inches!), this model is impressively powerful with 16GB of storage, six weeks of battery life on a single charge, and faster page turns than previous models. Right now, this model is just $104, so it's a great choice if you're looking for an e-reader that won't break the bank.This device is Amazon's first-ever color e-reader, allowing you to see full-color book covers and highlight pages in multiple hues. Like other Kindle models, the Colorsoft features a glare-free display, long-lasting battery life, and it's waterproof. I’ve been rocking with one of these for a year now and love seeing my book covers in vivid color!The Kindle Paperwhite is a step up in screen size from the basic Kindle, with a 7-inch screen to read on. Same goes for the battery, which should last you up to 12 weeks on a single charge. It has an adjustable warm light built into the screen so you can switch from white to an amber light that's a bit easier on the eyes. It's also IPX8 water-resistant rated, so it's a great pool- or beach-side pick. Plus, it comes in black, jade, and raspberry for anyone who can't resist colorful tech. I used a Paperwhite for years and think it’s truly a perfect device.The Paperwhite Signature Edition offers the same 7-inch screen, waterproof build, and impressive 12-week battery life as the Paperwhite—and then some. Unlike Amazon's standard models, this device is wireless charging-enabled and has a whopping 32GB of storage. Plus, the front light will automatically adjust based on the lighting of the space you're reading in, and you can even schedule lighting changes. Nighttime readers, that one is for you!No matter which storage option you choose, Kindle Scribes are steeply discounted this Prime Day. This device doubles as an e-reader and a digital notebook and comes with a stylus that allows you to take notes and annotate your books. With an 11-inch display and Kindle's signature paper-like feel, this is an excellent option for anyone looking for a tablet-style device.If you’re in school, I’d recommend skipping the iPad and adding the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to your cart. Just like the black-and-white version, this works as both an e-reader and a smart notebook. The kicker? It’s in full-color, which means you’ll be able color-code your notes to perfection. Plus, the e-ink screen is so much easier on your eyes during late night study sessions.Does Prime Day have Kindle Unlimited deals?Yes! Score your first three months free—yes, free! After that, it'll go back to the regular price of $11.99 per month.Kindle Unlimited subscribers get unlimited reading and listening hours. Not too shabby considering Amazon's library has over 4 million books to choose from. Plus, you'll get access to magazine subscriptions and thousands of audiobooks. A book lover's dream, if I do say so myself.
