Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite is the best balance of price and features

This is easily the most popular e-reader Amazon has. It's lightweight, you can read it anywhere, and it offers a bright, crisp screen that's easy on the eyes. The Paperwhite usually costs $120, but you can get it for $89.99 right now, $10 less than it sold for last Black Friday. Get the Kindle Paperwhite on Amazon for $89.99

Kindle Voyage

Thin and lightweight, the Voyage is comfortable enough for hours of reading.

This is the one I have now and I love it. It's lighter than the Paperwhite, has haptic-touch buttons on the sides so you don't have to touch the screen, and features a sensor that automatically adjusts the screen brightness for you. At $169.99 (usually $200), this is a bit more of an investment, but it's worth it if you're an avid reader who values hardware aesthetics. Get the Kindle Voyage on Amazon for $169.99

Looking for an affordable way to get into e-books? This is it.

If you're looking for something more affordable, the original Kindle is only $49.99 (usually $80). The glare-free screen is easy to read, but it lacks that 'white page' look that makes the Paperwhite and other models so lovely. Get the Kindle e-reader on Amazon for $49.99

Books we love that are on sale right now

We love these 10 books, but there are plenty more on sale too.

When I saw the Kindle library offering hundreds of best-selling books for a couple bucks a piece, I immediately started adding them to my cart. I'm a big sci-fi and dystopian fan, but I know that's not for everyone. So I turned to my coworkers to see which titles they recommend (or want to read) from the sale. Here's what we found:

The Martian by Andy Weir ($2.99) You don't have to be a science geek to get into this hysterical book. Whether you've seen the movie or not, this is a must-read.

Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur ($2.99) This increasingly popular book is full of beautiful, moving poems and more.

The Miracle of Dunkirk: The True Story of Operation Dynamo by Walter Lord ($1.99) If you loved the movie, or just have an affinity for war stories, this book might be right up your alley.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt ($4.99) This award-winning novel is the story of a young boy's journey after the accidental death of his mother.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut ($1.99) If, like me, you just couldn't be bothered to do your homework in high school, give this book another chance. It's worth it.

Just Kids by Patti Smith ($1.99) A story of life in 1960s New York through the eyes of the famous performer.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker ($1.99) This classic is so good it became a Broadway show.

Wool by Hugh Howey ($1.99) Another sci-fi favorite, this is a "Kindle in Motion" book with art, animation and video and is best viewed on a Fire tablet or through the Kindle app.

Room by Emma Donaghue ($3.99) Told from the viewpoint of a five-year-old, this dark tale of mother and daughter is anything but childish.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey ($2.99) Looking to better yourself? No one will know you're reading a self-help book if it's on your Kindle.

Read more books with Kindle Unlimited

If you want access to even more titles, you might be interested in Kindle Unlimited, a subscription service that gives you access to millions of books (including audiobooks through Audible) for an annual fee. You don't even need a Kindle to enjoy this service, as it works through the smartphone/tablet apps too. Kindle Unlimited usually costs $119.88 for a 12-month subscription ($9.99/month), but you can save 33% and get a year of unlimited e-books and Audible for $80.32. And if you know you'll keep the service longer than a year, the 24-month subscription is only $143.86, a 40% savings.

Prices are accurate at the time of publication, but may change over time.
