Prime Day Kindle deals: Every Amazon e-reader is absurdly cheap

Amazon’s Kindles are the e-readers most people want. Usually, high demand means higher prices. Yet Amazon is all but giving Kindles away for Prime Day 2022, offering up deals on both basic and bougie models at absurdly low prices, even as “Prime Day” continues on into its second day.

The shiniest gem of the sale is the sublime Kindle Paperwhite, which earned accolades as both the best Kindle for most people and the best waterproof Kindle in our roundup of Amazon’s e-readers. It normally sells for $140 (and is well worth every cent), but Amazon plunged the price all the way down to $95 for Prime Day, blowing past the previous all-time low by a solid $10.

Finally, if you want the most luxurious e-reading experience possible, the Kindle Oasis is on sale for $175, down from $250. The biggest draw here is its screen. The 7-inch display is a full...
