Every summer season, Kindle sales are the highest because people organize vacations and do not want to lug around stacks of books. The Kindle is the perfect travel companion: it occupies virtually no space, is as close to reading a real book as can be, and can hold thousands of books.

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.

Like all of the newer Kindle models, the Paperwhite is a fairly expensive purchase to make without a significant discount. Amazon doesn't have good Kindle deals very often, so seeing this model down to its lowest price ever for Prime Day is noteworthy.
