Ahead of Amazon’s much-awaitedPrime Day, the retail giant confirmedKindle deviceswill be on sale. This isn’t much of a surprise as most Amazon-owned products see steep discounts for the sale, and you can look to theFire TV 4K Stick Maxas an example of that.
The Kindle is still a prominent pillar of Amazon’s strategy, and take it from somebody who has three of them – it’s a very solid device that’s well worth the money. It gets even better when you’re able to grab one at a discount, as even a base model Kindle costs over $100. I definitely got my money out of mine regardless of price, but your mileage may vary. What’s nice is the base model comes with a light nowadays, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to read in the dark anymore like you had to with previous models.

5 things I did first on my Kindle to improve my reading experience
Here are five things to try out on your Kindle when you first get it.
Amazon says to expect Kindle discounts
No telling how large they will be
Now what’s annoying aboutAmazon’s announcementis there’s no telling how big the discounts will be within the Kindle line. The company says there will be up to a 25% discount on both the Kindle and the Paperwhite Signature Edition. The wording suggests that it could be a minuscule 5% price cut or a much heftier 25% one.
Fortunately, Amazon Prime Day begins July 8 and runs through July 11, so it won’t be long until we find out how big (or small) the discounts are. There’s also a chance we could see some early Prime deals out of the Kindle line. It’s important to note that the regular Paperwhite, Colorsoft, and Scribe were not mentioned in the listing, so those might be omitted from the sale.
No Kindle is complete without books to read, and Amazon promises to offer deals on select Kindle books. Don’t expect the entire store to be on sale, although that would be nice. Amazon singles out Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Carrie Sot is Back, The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, and Untamed by Glennon Doyle as some of the examples. There will certainly be more, so make sure you check out the Kindle store if you pick up a new device.
