The sale event of the summer is here, and the Amazon Prime Day Kindle deals (and other Amazon device deals!) are ones you can count on being great to shop. As someone who tests Amazon gear for a living—Echo speakers, Kindles, Amazon's smart plugs, you name it—I'm always tracking what in Amazon's lineup is worth buying. I have a ton of favorites, from the best of the best, like the Kindle Paperwhite and Echo Show 8, to the Kindle Scribe and Echo Spot.
It's the perfect time to shop all of those and more. Not only is everything in this guide WIRED-tested and WIRED-approved, but it's on sale right now. Need more deals? Try our Absolute Best Amazon Prime Day Deals roundup and Prime Day liveblog.

A Kindle You Can Write On
This is my personal favorite Kindle. Maybe I'm biased because I love a digital notebook just as much as an e-reader, and since I'm a big reader on Kindle Unlimited and through my Libby app, using the Kindle Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) easily bundles all my most-used features into a single device. It's easy to sketch out notes and random ideas in the notebook section, and the screen is nice and large to enjoy reading my latest book of choice. The battery also lasts nice and long—in the months I've had it, I've charged it maybe three times.
A Kindle for Kids
If your kids want a Kindle, instead of just giving them your old one, get them a Kindle Kids to get access to Kids+ for free for six months and cute covers that they'll love. Kids+ is a subscription service that gives access to a library of books designed for ages 3 to 12, and offers books in Spanish too. The cover designs will make it easy to tell your kiddo's Kindle from your own (even though I want that space whale option for myself).
