FULL STORY ======================================================================

Dreaming of summer days spent reading by the beach or pool? The folks at Amazon must be thinking along the same lines, as the Prime Big Deal Days sale has cut as much as 31% off some of the popular ereaders.

Highlights include discounts on the budget-friendly baseline model , 20% off the Colorsoft aka the best Kindle overall and a whopping AU$200 off the Kindle Scribe .

Depending on your needs, you can't go wrong with the savings on offer here. However, we think the star deal this Prime Day is a 21% saving on the Kindle Paperwhite combining fast performance, a large 7-inch display and a multi-week battery life for just AU$236.

The Paperwhite has been a jewel in the Kindle lineup for some time and this 21% discount makes it even easier to recommend. In our four-star Amazon
Kindle Paperwhite (2024) review , we praised its E Ink Carta 1300 display and snappy navigation. Serious bookworms may long for more internal storage, but overall there is little to find fault with View Deal

This latest model of the Kindle Paperwhite benefits from a brand-new E Ink Carta 1300 screen that improves the reading experience by adding greater contrast, making text darker, and providing faster page turns. While it's a small upgrade to its predecessor, we feel comfortable calling the Paperwhite the Kindle to buy for most people at this price.

If youre not totally convinced, weve picked out a few more Kindle deals that are worth considering if you want a little more from your daily reader.

If you want space for even more books, this Kindle offers everything we loved about the model above, but with double the storage at 32GB. It also differs from its standard sibling with the ability to wirelessly charge. And, not insignificantly, this model comes in a lovely Jade . View Deal

While we think the Kindle Paperwhite is the better choice for most readers, there's no doubt that the best Kindle in 2025 is the Kindle Colorsoft. As noted in our Kindle Colorsoft review , once you experience a colour ereader
of the Colorsoft's quality, it's hard to go back. At its regular price, we find it hard to recommend over the two models above. However, with this discount it's the clear choice for anyone who reads graphic novels or just wants coloured book covers in their digital library. View Deal

Last, but certainly not least, is the Kindle Scribe though whether it's the top option for you depends on your needs. As the best Kindle for note taking
, we called it "a big step up" from the Paperwhite in our Kindle Scribe
(2024) review . This is largely thanks to its useful new AI features, and
it's an incredible big-screen ereader thanks to its 10.2-inch display. What takes it to the next level, though, is the writing experience offered by its Premium Pen. If you want an ereader that can double as your journal or work notepad, this is the deal for you. View Deal You might also like...
