Summer reading lists aren't just for high schoolers and college students. It's time to bring back the summer reading list for adults. One way to cross off books from your summer reading list, even many years out of college or high school, is to make reading as convenient as humanly possible.

Sometimes that's hard to achieve, especially if you're lugging that 1,000-page Infinite Jest in a small backpack or book bag. One solution to the problem of carrying several books you'd like to read on airplanes, in long-haul car rides, or in your work bag is simple. Buy a Kindle instead.
If you're a bookworm looking to optimize your reading game this summer this Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle deal is for you. The deal takes the price of the bundle, which includes a Kindle Paperwhite, a fabric cover of your choosing, and a power adapter, down by 29%, from $217 to $155.
The deal is running during Amazon Prime Day, which begins on July 8 and runs through July 11. The summer deals event is twice as long this year, so you've got twice the time to shop.

The Kindle Paperwhite, compared to the base model Kindle which is $50 cheaper, packs double the battery life into its device, amounting to 12 weeks of battery. That's three whole months of no charging. The e-reader also offers 16GB of storage for thousands of books and titles.
The bundle is a great deal, since a Kindle Paperwhite on its own costs $160, and this bundle costs $155. Given that tomorrow is Prime Day, we might see the price of the individual Paperwhite (unbundled) go down by 15 or 20%, but right now this Paperwhite Essentials Bundle is a great deal.
You can choose between three different colored fabric covers, including colorways in black, jade, and raspberry. The same colorways are available for your desired Paperwhite device.
