Discount on Amazon Kindle: Save $20 Now

Grab Amazon's most affordable Kindle for just $90.

For those who vowed to dive into more books this year, an e-reader is a fantastic way to have countless reads at your disposal. Although not as pricy as an iPad or high-end tablet, e-readers can be surprisingly costly. However, at the moment, you can get a great deal on one of our top picks. The basic Kindle by Amazon is available for $90, which is $20 cheaper than its regular price and only slightly above its all-time low.

Praised as one of the best e-readers out there, this Kindle is renowned for its efficiency. It may not boast cutting-edge features, but it provides 16GB storage capacity and is available in two stylish color options.

Features and Benefits

Constructed to be both sturdy and compact, this device is lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry or use with just one hand. It grants access to the extensive Kindle library, and this purchase includes a three-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited—essentially a book version of Netflix. While the collection isn't exhaustive, there's usually something interesting to read available.

As an introductory model, this Kindle lacks a color display and stylus support. Nevertheless, the battery life is impressive, often lasting up to six weeks on regular usage. From personal use, it seems to always be charged and ready when needed.

Considerations and Drawbacks

A notable downside is the presence of ads on the lockscreen. While there is an ad-free version, it comes at a higher cost. However, these ads are typically not bothersome, being limited to the lockscreen and primarily promoting books.
