Calling all book lovers: If you're itching to breeze through your reading list and carry your entire library in the palm of your hand, there's a major Kindle Prime Day sale happening now. It's one of the hottest deals of Amazon October Prime Day 2024, which runs now through Wednesday, Oct. 9, (and also includes tons of other incredible deals). A bunch of Kindle models are marked down during the mega-sale, including the best-selling Kindle Paperwhite (on sale from $150 to $125)—so now's the time to take on those spooky dark academia reads or start a whole new series with ease, all for a fraction of the price.

In case you haven't already ditched physical books for a Kindle, let me tell you all about the game-changing reading device. For one, the Kindle allows you to store all your books on one lightweight gadget. Better yet, you can also highlight and save passages, look up definitions, translate words and adjust the text size to your liking—all perks you definitely don't get with an old school page-turner. (BTW, depending on the type of Kindle you get, it's likely to have even more features, from water-resistance to digital note-taking abilities.) Simply put, the Kindle is all about convenience and optimization, ensuring that you always have the best reading experience whenever and wherever you choose to.

Remember, the full sales for Amazon October Prime Day are available to Prime members only (so be sure to sign up for a free trial if you don't already have a Prime account). Here’s a rundown of top-rated Kindle devices that you can score savings on right now.

For People Who Read Everywhere

1. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon

Kindle's Paperwhite design is my top choice for readers who like to take their books *everywhere*, from the beach to the bathtub, since this device is glare-free and waterproof. The Paperwhite is protected against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes or 0.25 meters of seawater for up to three minutes. Plus, it's got all of the usual benefits of a Kindle, like an adjustable light display that can shift from bright white to warm amber.

According to PureWow Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera, who uses her Paperwhite practically daily, "It's easily my most-used device and SO worth the buy. I like that I can have hundreds of books at my fingers (which especially comes in handy on long travel days) but you can also adjust things like the warmth of the light, so I'm not straining my eyes at night, and font size. Plus, the battery life lasts so long, even when I'm constantly using it."

For the Annotator

2. Amazon Kindle Scribe

Amazon

If you're someone who loves to make little notes and doodles in the margins as they read, don't miss the chance to nab the new Kindle Scribe while it's on sale. This device has a digital notebook built into it that allows for easy annotations that can even be converted into text and PDF files. The Scribe is designed with a glare-free screen and includes a charge-free pen, so you can write just as easily as you would on regular paper. It's also packed with even more functional features, like an auto-adjusting front light and adjustable text size for a truly seamless reading and note-taking experience. Wanna know even more about this do-it-all device? PureWow Associate Editor Sydney Meister shares *all* her thoughts here.

For Young Readers

3. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids

Amazon

This Kindle Paperwhite for kids has it all for young readers, including a cute cover that's available in three different patterns and a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which means your child will have access to thousands of books and audiobooks instantly. And don't worry about any potential distractions; to keep kids focused on reading, the device is designed without access to apps, videos or games. It also features an OpenDyslexic font that may be preferred by readers with dyslexia. Last but not least, the device is water-resistant to boot, so minor spills and splashes shouldn't be a problem.
