I was once a book purist, but ever since receiving an Amazon Kindle for Christmas, I’m an ereader convert. Now, the newest Kindle paperwhite is reduced in Amazon Prime Day 2026.
Giving you an entire library of books at your fingertips, the paperwhite is perfectly compact for throwing in my bag to power through some pages on the commute. Equally excellent for flights, long train journeys and reading in bed without disturbing your partner, thanks to the built-in light, the Kindle paperwhite has changed how I read.
Amazon’s fastest Kindle ever, the ereader combines a pin-sharp display with an anti-glare screen and slim design. With more than 20 per cent off in Amazon’s annual shopping event, now’s the time to invest ahead of summer holidays, poolside lounging and beach days.

The newest-gen Kindle paperwhite is the gold standard for ereaders – and this is coming from someone who stubbornly only read paperbacks until six months ago. Boasting a 7-inch anti-glare display, the text is sharp and mimics paper, all without hurting your eyes.
Featuring an adjustable light and dark mode, you can read easily in both a pitch-black room and in piercing sunlight. The Kindle hasn’t been good for my sleep – I now often read into the early hours of the morning – but it has got me closer to my Goodreads goal.
Better yet, it’s waterproof, meaning you can read by the pool or even in the bath, with the smooth casing offering good grip. Amazon has discounted the coveted device by 21 per cent, so don’t miss out.
