Get your winter reading ready with deep discounts on Kindle Scribe and Paperwhite

If you read more than a few ebooks a year, the Kindle Paperwhite is a smart investment. Not only can it hold thousands of ebooks, but its small size makes it easier to travel with than a paperback or hardcover. It’s currently marked down to one of the best prices of the year during Prime Big Deal Days, and you can find it now for only $125 (was $150).

This is the latest version of the ereader, with a larger 6.8-inch screen, thinner bezels, adjustable light and a battery life of up to 10 weeks. It’s also waterproof, so you can take it to the pool without fear of splashes. Alternatively, there’s a Kindle Paperwhite Essentials bundle that combines the Kindle paperwhite with a fabric case and power adapter for $135 (was $205). Both versions are ad supported. Expect to pay an extra $15 to purchase the ad-free versions.

If you’re shopping for kids, consider getting the Kindle Paperwhite Kids Edition (11th Generation) instead, as it comes with a durable case to better protect the device from drops and scratches. You also get a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ and a two-year warranty – all for just $115 (was $170).

The popular Kindle Paperwhite isn’t the only Amazon ereader on sale during Prime Big Deal Days, and if you want to read as well as take notes, the Kindle Scribe is a much better choice. A basic pen is included so you can take notes, draw pictures or scribble in the margins of all your novels. Like the Paperwhite, it offers an e-ink display that’s great for reading and 16GB of storage for all your books and notes.

Normally sold for $340, this works out to an impressive price of $255. You might also consider purchasing the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle for $300 (was $440), which gives you a magnetic leather folio cover and a power adapter.
