Amazon’s Kindle just went on sale for the second time this year

If you’re an avid reader, an Amazon Kindle just makes sense. You can carry hundreds of books with you everywhere you go, and you don’t have to break your back doing it. The thing is, the Kindle doesn’t go on sale very often, which is why this rare discount is so exciting. Right now, you can get the Kindle for just $85 on Amazon, down from its usual $100. It might not be the best price we’ve seen, but you won’t find it cheaper outside of the holiday season. This latest version of the Amazon Kindle is one of the best e-readers on the market. The 300PPI resolution makes reading any book a pleasure with its sharp text and vivid images. The glare-free paper-like screen is great under any lighting conditions, too. And when you’re going to read in the dark, you can use the adjustable front light for greater comfort on the eyes. The beauty of the Kindle is that you can enjoy your stories without any distractions from pinging messages, social media notifications, or email alerts. Simply get lost in a world of your choosing and forget that reality is a dumpster fire most days. If you’ve been eyeing a Kindle, this is a great time to get one. Grab the Kindle for just $85 on Amazon and start reading like a boss. The Amazon Kindle is rarely discounted like thisBuy now on Amazon Continue reading at 'PC World'
