I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I'm as basic as a millennial can get. I'm a book-loving, plant-hoarding, habitual knitter who loves her Kindle and all its accessories. As such, I look forward to Prime Day sales events, during which Amazon historically discounts its own devices for a few days.

This year, Amazon Prime Day is happening a bit earlier, running through June 26. The company is showcasing some great deals on Kindle e-readers. Brands that make accessories for Kindles aren't standing still, with many also slashing prices on their top products.

There's nothing basic about the base model Kindle. It's the latest Kindle in its tier and features 16GB of memory and an upgraded reading experience. This Kindle has faster page turns and a higher contrast ratio than older models, both of which were big pain points for users.

The Kindle Paperwhite is my favorite e-reader -- probably ever. This Kindle features a 7-inch glare-free display, 16GB of storage, and 20% faster overall performance. The Kindle Paperwhite can also go up to 12 weeks on a single charge, which is perfect for my forgetful brain.

If reading graphic novels and comic books is more your speed, the Kindle Colorsoft offers a high-contrast color display. The Colorsoft has quickly become one of the most popular newer Kindle devices since its release, thanks to its color display that is easy on the eyes.

I never thought I'd love having a page-turning device as much as I do now that I've tried one. I used to hold my Kindle every night while reading, but there's something so convenient about propping it up on my headboard and relaxing with my page turner.

Amazon book deals are all over Prime Day, and you can buy anything from hardcover to Kindle-edition e-books for as little as $1. Aside from low book prices, you can also score three free months of Kindle Unlimited, three free months and a $20 credit on Audible, and three times the Kindle book points.

Amazon Prime Day runs from Tuesday, June 23, through Friday, June 26, 2026.
