Amazon Prime Day is off and running. We've highlighted some of [the best deals in this year's Amazon Prime Day](https://www.wired.com/story/best-amazon-prime-day-deals-2019/) and pointed out a few deals from [other retailers as well](https://www.wired.com/story/best-amazon-prime-day-alternative-deals/). Frankly, sometimes it’s a bit much. If you have reservations about all this consumer culture, believe me, we feel you, still a good deal is a good deal and right now the Amazon's price on Kindles is a good deal
Say what you will about the rest of the company, Amazon makes a damn fine ebook reader. Kindles are the most eye-friendly way to read digital books, and the battery life is outstanding. Amazon's related services, like Kindle Unlimited and Audible audiobooks, pair well with the Kindle. Right now all three Kindle modes come with three months of Kindle Unlimited for free. After that a subscription to Kindle Unlimited is $10 a month.
We like the Kindle so much we've made a [Kindle Buying Guide](https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-kindle/) to help you figure out which model is best for you. If you're looking to buy one, do it now: Amazon doesn't discount its Kindles as often as other devices, and it may be a few months before it's discounted again (and the Paperwhite is usually only $30 off).

### [Standard Kindle for $60 ($30 off)](https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-now-with-a-built-in-front-light/dp/B07DLPWYB7/){: rel=nofollow}
The new 2019 standard 6-inch Kindle ([8/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/amazon-kindle-2019/) gives you the most bang for your buck. It's not waterproof and it has fewer pixels than other models, but you still get plenty. It comes with a light-up display, so you can finally save money without having to keep the light on when you read before bed. This deal also includes three months of Kindle Unlimited so you can curl up with your favorite books the minute you get your new Kindle. After the three months a Kindle Unlimited subscription is $10 a month.
### [Kindle Paperwhite for $85 ($45 off)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CXG6C9W/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}
If you don’t mind spending a bit extra, the Paperwhite make a great step up from the standard Kindle ([9/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/review-kindle-paperwhite-2018/)). It has a more uniform light-up display than the standard Kindle, and right now it's discounted below the sticker price of the cheaper version. Other great features include more pixels for clearer text and a waterproof body for bathtub or poolside reading. If you intend to download a lot of Audible audiobooks and listen to them on headphones (there are no speakers on this reader), get the [32-gigabyte Paperwhite for $110 ($50 off)](https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-Paperwhite-Waterproof-Storage/dp/B07745PV5G/){: rel=nofollow}.
### [Kindle Oasis for $175 ($75 off)](https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-Oasis-now-with-adjustable-warm-light/dp/B07F7TLZF4/){: rel=nofollow}
There's no practical reason to buy a [Kindle Oasis](https://www.wired.com/2017/11/review-kindle-oasis-2/), even at this price it's still more expensive than two on sale Kindle Paperwhites. That said, the Oasis is certainly a joy to use. Page turning is snappier thanks to a faster processor, and it has a larger 7-inch touchscreen with an aluminum design that has a bump on one edge, and physical buttons to turn the pages. These make it ideal for one-handed reading. The light-up display also looks a little more natural, and automatically adjusts its brightness. If you need extra space the [32-gigabyte model is $200 ($80)](https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-Oasis-now-with-adjustable-warm-light/dp/B07GRSK3HC/){: rel=nofollow}.
###How to Load Up on Ebooks
We're not always fans of the growing subscription economy, but Kindle Unlimited gives unlimited access to 1 million books that you can read at your leisure, and some free Audible books, too (not a bad deal). If you grab a new Kindle today, you'll get three months free, after that [Kindle Unlimited costs $10 a month](https://amzn.to/2DXamvv){: rel=nofollow}.
##Other Amazon Devices on Sale
There are a few other Amazon devices we like on sale right now. We highlighted our favorites below, but you can see the full list in [our guide to the best Prime Day device deals](https://www.wired.com/story/best-amazon-device-deals-prime-day-2019/).
**[Fire HD 10 for $100 ($65 off)](https://amzn.to/2JxY5Rs){: rel=nofollow}**: The Fire HD 10 is a much more capable tablet than the 8. It’s faster, has more storage, and the 10-inch HD screen looks much nicer.
**[Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet for $80 ($50 off)](https://amzn.to/2XHWYT2){: rel=nofollow}**: The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition is our top pick for kids under 7. If your kid's hands are especially tiny, they'll appreciate the Fire 7's smaller size. It's [also on sale](https://amzn.to/30tdtnC){: rel=nofollow}.
**[Fire TV Stick 4K for $25 ($25 off)](https://amzn.to/30q9R5M){: rel=nofollow}**: The Fire Stick 4K is the best of Amazon's Fire TV devices. We [prefer the Roku](https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-4k-streaming-devices/) all things considered, but if you're a heavy Prime Video user with a 4K screen this makes a good streaming device.
**[Echo Dot for $25 ($25 off)](https://amzn.to/2XzyfQE){: rel=nofollow}**: This hockey puck-shaped Echo handles spoken audio well and the new version sounds better with music, but it still lacks the quality you'll find in larger speakers. Still, if you want to add Alexa to more rooms in your house, the Dot makes a cheap and easy way to do it.
**[Echo Show for $160 ($70 off)](){: rel=nofollow}**: At first, it seems odd to have an Alexa speaker with a display. But after using it you'll understand the appeal. When you ask it for the weather, it tells you *and* shows you thanks to the 10-inch display and rear speakers.
