My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Amazon Kindle
It’s impressive what the most basic Amazon Kindle for under $100 offers: weeks of battery life, thousands of books in your pocket, and the ability to read at night without straining your eyes. Right now, you can get an ad-free Amazon Kindle for $95.99 (originally $119.99), which is one dollar off its lowest price ever, according to Price Checker Tools .
The Kindle has changed a lot over the years, and it can be confusing if you’re considering getting your first one. We have a guide to understanding the Kindle , but honestly, most people are satisfied with a simple Amazon Kindle. It comes with 16GB of internal memory, which means it can accommodate thousands of e-books in its library. This latest Kindle features a high-resolution 300 pixels per inch display that makes it feel like you’re actually reading a printed book. The glare-free, paper-like display is ideal for outdoor reading, but what I like most is the battery life, which lasts an impressive six weeks on average (depending on usage and brightness settings).
Some new features also include the VoiceView screen reader, which works over Bluetooth, as well as the ability to listen to audiobooks through Audible. Personally, I use Libby to send free audiobooks and ebooks from local libraries directly to my Kindle.
If you’re starting to build your library from scratch, Amazon releases free eBooks every month for Prime members. You can also use it at work or school to read web articles, PDFs, or textbooks by sending documents to your Kindle .
While the “ad-supported” version (meaning the screensaver will show ads when the device is in sleep mode) costs $84.99 (originally $99.99), you can get the ad-free version for $11 more instead the usual $20 to update it. . This way you can use the book cover as a screensaver. I think the nice touch is worth more than the $11 it costs.
