I Read More Books Than I Ever Have Before Thanks to My Amazon Kindle, and You Can Snag One for as Little as $80

I had one goal for myself in 2024 that I was determined to achieve: read more books. Well, I can safely say that I have read more books in the last five months than I have in years. And all thanks to my Amazon Kindle.

I got an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas (thanks Mom!), and that’s the only reason I fly through books. The device is so compact and fits easily in my purse, so I carry my Kindle almost everywhere. No more lugging around heavy hardcover novels and risking the bookmark falling into the deep abyss that is my work bag.

Several Kindle models are on sale right now, and prices are as low as $80, or Black Friday-level deals.

I never thought I would prefer reading on a tablet, as I have sensitive eyes and the glare that often comes with another device seemed unattractive. The Kindle Paperwhite proved me wrong, though. Thanks to the adjustable paper-like display, it really does look like the actual pages of a book, whether I’m reading under the fluorescent lights of a train or outside on a sunny day.

I can easily hold the e-reader with one hand (this is especially useful when I’m on the train and have to stand). To turn a page, I just tap the screen, and it fast-forwards with no lag. It’s also waterproof, so I can confidently wear it on hangers for the pool and the beach this summer. Plus, I picked up this case that’s now 67 percent off for added security.

The thought of having to remember to charge your Kindle may sound daunting, but its battery life is exceptional—according to the brand, the Kindle Paperwhite can last up to 10 weeks on a single charge. I’ve only had to charge the device three times since I started using it in January.

Another reason why the Kindle is worth the investment is the fact that you can instantly access millions of books. My colleague, senior editor and acquisition strategist, Alex Nelson, convinced me to sign up for Kindle Unlimited.

For $12 each month (after an initial three-month free trial), Kindle users can borrow more than four million titles, including books, magazines, and audiobooks, as often as they like—no deadlines here. If I ever run out of my Kindle and really want to keep reading, I can just log into the Kindle app on my phone, computer, or tablet for added convenience.

Looking for more than a digital notebook? Amazon Kindle Scribe is also discounted right now. Users can take notes and draw in the device with an accompanying digital pen, so you can pause anywhere in the book to make a to-do list and then return to reading without juggling an e-reader and another tablet or phone.

I can’t get enough of my Amazon Kindle and it has changed the way I read books forever. Add one to your cart now and check out more discounted Amazon electronics below.
