Amazon has multiple Kindle e-readers on sale for Prime Day, with some going up to 37% off. Amazon Kindle e-readers are some of the pioneers and leading products to read e-books. Most offer Bluetooth capabilities, weeks-long battery life, are waterproof, and have audiobook compatibility.
What to expect on Kindles during Prime Day
Outside of Black Friday, Prime Day is the best time to shop for these Amazon devices, since Amazon products usually get the biggest discounts on Prime Day, including Fire TV Sticks, Fire TV Cube, Echos, and Fire Tablets.
All e-readers will have an ad-free model that costs extra (about $10). It means the lock screen and some software inside will not feature ads. The default will come with ads on the lock-screen (called “ad-supported”) unless it’s described as the ad-free version.
