In 2025 that is not the case at all, though. Amazon has dropped prices on the entire Kindle lineup and these are the best deals I've ever seen on the latest models. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to pick up one of these popular e-readers for yourself or a loved one, I can honestly say there's never been a better time to do so.

Having covered Amazon Prime Day for as long as we have, we know what to expect. One thing that's almost always certain — Amazon is going to drop prices on their Kindle e-readers. The longest Prime Day ever is now underway (through July 11), and we're seeing lots of discounts roll in on the popular reading devices.

The 12th Generation Kindle Paperwhite is the one to get for most readers. It's fast, with a new screen that's much easier to read. Best of all, it's at its lowest price yet for Prime Day.
