These bestselling ereaders won’t stay on sale for long

Perhaps nothing can match the feeling of a book in your hands, but Amazon’s Kindles come close. The retailer’s latest ereaders are lightweight, easy on the eyes, and offer weeks of battery life.

But as any bookworm will know, Kindles aren’t cheap – until Amazon Prime Day, that is. For its 2025 sale event, Amazon has slashed the price of the flagship Kindle paperwhite by more than 25 per cent, bringing the price down to less than £120. The cheapest Kindle in the range has also had a reduction in price, making it even more affordable.

To save you lugging around War and Peace during your morning commute, or stuffing half a dozen hardbacks in your hand luggage, here are the Kindle deals worth snapping up in Amazon’s Prime Day sale.

Not only is it my pick for the best Kindle, but this is also the best ereader. In his review, The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan praised the Kindle paperwhite for being “really exceptional”. A big upgrade on the original ereaders for only a modest price increase, the screen size has shot up from 6in to 6.8in, with the same 300ppi resolution as the (now discontinued) Kindle oasis.

“The design is elegant, with the screen flush to the frame (the basic Kindle display is recessed behind the frame)”, Phelan added. “The front light has also been improved recently, to make it subtler and adjustable in terms of warmth as well as brightness.” Plus, it’s waterproof, with the Kindle able to withstand submersion in 2m of water for up to an hour.
