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 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.
The Best Kindle
Run, don’t walk: the best Kindle is on sale. The 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (8/10, WIRED Recommends) launched last year and is a little larger than the basic Kindle. It comes with a warm light option, which is gentle on the eyes. It’s got fast and smooth performance, and overall is the best choice if you’re looking for a new Kindle, even when it’s not on sale. And it is right now!
