I suggest acting fast on this one, as it may be a bit before a price dip returns. (💡Hot tip: the sale makes the ad-free version cheaper than the usual price of the version with ads, so if you hate ads, this is your time to shine.)

While physical books will always make reading feel special, the Kindle makes reading much easier.

For me, the real issue is not whether e-readers or physical books are better, but how both can serve us book lovers in different situations. The Kindle is an excellent and incomparable tool for enabling us readers to read as much as possible, wherever we are.

My physical books get heavy fast. With the Kindle, instead of lugging around a 15-pound bag of books from place to place, I can hold thousands of titles at a fraction of the weight in my bag or a large pocket, completely comfortably. This has been nothing short of game-changing.

Shopping editor, and fellow “reformed physical book purist, Marquaysa Battle is also “head over heels” in love with the Kindle, for how physically easy it makes reading. “I used to hate the idea of going digital for my reading, until one of my bookcases literally collapsed,” she wrote. “I’ve accepted my love for books is way bigger than my home and will ever be.”
