There are plenty of flashy tablets to shop during Prime Day, but for anyone whose summer goals include finally finishing the stack of books on their nightstand, the newest Kindle release might be the smarter buy.

The 2024 Amazon Kindle, available in black and the popular Matcha green, is down to an unbeatable $85 this Prime Day — the cheapest we’ve ever seen it. The device is Amazon’s lightest and most compact Kindle, but still packs in the core features most readers actually need: a crisp 6-inch glare-free display, 16 GB of storage, USB-C charging, dark mode and a front light that Amazon says is 25% brighter at its maximum setting than the previous model.
