Best Kindle Deals
The Kindle Paperwhite is our long-time favorite Kindle. It's got a 7-inch screen that has an auto-adjusting warm light you won't find on cheaper Kindles, with solid resolution, dark mode, and three months of battery life. Both the regular Paperwhite and the Paperwhite Signature are on sale, and the latter offers wireless charging and an upgraded 32 GB of storage.
This is the Kindle I find myself going back to over and over again because I love the digital notebook feature. The Kindle Scribe also has a massive (at least in the world of e-readers) 10-inch screen with an auto-adjusting front light and three months of battery, and comes with a magnet-attaching stylus to scribble notes and highlights. There's a new Kindle Scribe due out this winter, so this might be one of your last chances to get this generation for this cheap.
Kindle finally introduced a color e-reader last year, and while it’s not our all-time favorite, it’s still a good color e-reader for anyone in the market. There are both a base model and a Signature model similar to the Paperwhite, and both models are on sale. The color screen gives your digital bookshelf and highlights a whole new life, and it's an especially a great choice for graphic novel readers.
If you want a color Kindle for your kiddo, then this is the one to get. It comes with a fun cover to keep it safe, and a full year of Amazon Kids+ content that will give your child access to tons of age-appropriate books and other content. Honestly, if anyone should get a color e-reader, it’s kids. They’re much more likely to enjoy the color benefits than your everyday novel readers.
If you’re looking for a cheap Kindle that’s still great, the base Kindle will more than do the job. It’s smaller than the Paperwhite and Colorsoft with just a 6-inch screen, but performance is snappy and a clear upgrade to older models. You’ll still get an adjustable front light (though not warm), dark mode, 16 GB of storage, and up to six weeks of battery life.
Best Amazon Echo Deals
Amazon has four new Echo devices, and one of the best also happens to be on a small discount. The Echo Dot Max looks like a miniaturized version of the new Echo Studio, with the dust cap-style front panel and round body. Compared to past Echo Dots, the sound is seriously impressive. It comes with a higher price to match, but this small discount makes it more appealing.
