I’ve owned a Kindle ebook reader for over five years — I’ve brought it on multiple international trips, along with my daily commutes. It is compact, with an e-ink display that can easily handle bright light and, the best part, is the stellar battery life. The Amazon Kindle can last up to 6 weeks, while the Kindle Paperwhite can last up to 12 weeks. It’s not hyperbole to say that you can throw the Kindle in your bag for weeks without worrying about charging it. They can also store thousands of books thanks to the 16GB storage. Both the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are now at their lowest prices ever.

Amazon Kindle

4.4-star average rating from 318 reviews on Amazon

The Amazon Kindle is a more compact and lightweight option. It still has a great 6-week battery life and can store thousands of books. It also has a 6-inch glare-free display, allowing you to read books in bright sunlight. You can pick up the Kindle for $84, which means you get a 23% discount, the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

4.2-star average rating from 431 reviews on Amazon

I have owned the Paperwhite for years and it’s a tech gadget I recommend to everyone. Its incredible 12-week battery life, 16GB storage capacity and size and design make it a must-have for avid readers. The latest Paperwhite has a 20% faster responsiveness, so pages and books load faster. It’s also waterproof, according to Amazon, and it has a 7-inch anti-glare screen. You can pick one up for $129, the lowest price ever.
