The best Amazon Prime Early Access deals on Kindles

Amazon’s Prime Early Access sale has officially begun, and while there are great deals to be had on everything from wireless chargers to 3D Printers, Amazon saved some of the deepest discounts for its own hardware, namely Kindles. The popular e-readers are known for their crisp displays and long battery life, but for the moment they should also be lauded for their remarkably low prices.

If you’ve been curious about making the leap from physical books to e-readers, there’s never been a less expensive time. Just remember you’ll need to have an active Amazon Prime subscription to take advantage of these deals, so sign up for a free, 30-day trial if you haven’t already.

Kindle Paperwhite, $99.99 (Was $139.99)

The Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader for most people, and it’s currently down to its lowest price ever. The Paperwhite’s 6.8 300 PPI (pixel per inch) e-ink display makes text look incredibly clear, and it won’t show a glare in the sun like the LCD screen on an iPhone or iPad. The e-reader’s battery can last “weeks” per charge assuming you use it for 30 minutes a day and use its backlights judiciously. One of the biggest reasons to upgrade to the latest Paperwhite from an older Kindle is that it charges via USB-C instead of MicroUSB.

Kindle Oasis, $179.99 (Was $249.99)
