Whether you’re giggling along to a rom-com on the beach or cozying up with a murder mystery in front of the fire, reading is always in season. And Amazon’s Kindle sale makes it easy to dive into a good book at home, on the go, and all year round.
Three of the company’s top e-readers—Oasis, Paperwhite, and Paperwhite Signature—are available now for up to 21% off their retail prices.

Dubbed “the most luxurious ebook reader money can buy” by PCMag, the Kindle Oasis features a 7-inch, 300ppi E Ink panel surrounded by a 0.25-inch bezel on three sides, with two rubber page-turning buttons on the left and right, as well as a 0.3-inch grip on the back. The device is vertically symmetrical for ambidextrous use; hold it by the grip in your left or right hand, and the screen automatically rotates.
The Oasis boasts a waterproof rating of IPX8, so you can catch up on another chapter in the bath or by the pool without fear of accidental immersion. An “adjustable warm light” lets you adjust the screen’s color temperature—ideal when reading in particularly bright or warm settings. And you can save 20% on the Amazon Kindle Oasis(Opens in a new window) right now.

If the Oasis is still too pricey, you can get our Editors’ Choice Pick, the Kindle Paperwhite, for more than $100 less. The Paperwhite got an update last year to add a roomier screen for an even better reading experience. Still a smooth, black, matte device, the Paperwhite now measures 6.8 by 4.9 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and weighs 7.2 ounces. The 6.8-inch, 300ppi E Ink Carta display is 10% brighter than its predecessor, and the entire gadget carries an IPX8 rating.
