I Tried the Kindle, It’s Now My Every-Holiday Gadget — and It’s 29% Off for Prime Day

Thanks to TikTok (or should I say “BookTok”?), the Kindle has once again become an essential reading accessory.

Luckily for shoppers, Amazon has slashed the price of the popular gadget for its big Prime Day sale.

Kindle Essentials Bundle including Kindle (2022 release), ~~$149.97~~ $105.97 from Amazon

Like many people, I love reading and relaxing in the sun while on holiday, so when my friend bought the 2022 Kindle version, I couldn’t wait to try it out for myself.

I was already a Kindle user, but there have been some technological improvements since I bought mine and now I have a lot more options to try out.

After using my friend’s e-reader, I decided to purchase the 2022 Kindle edition, which is currently 29% off for Amazon Prime members when purchased in a bundle.

As part of its Prime Day promotion, Amazon has reduced the price of the Kindle Essentials Bundle, which includes the popular e-reader, from $149.97 to $105.97.

Buyers will also receive a fabric case and a power supply.

Hailed as the “lightest and most compact Kindle,” this Amazon product features a 6-inch, 300 ppi high-resolution display with a built-in light.

Amazon customers who have tried and tested the tech offering have left a number of glowing reviews, with one calling the Kindle a “groundbreaking device”

One review shared on the Amazon website read as follows: “Buying my first Kindle was a game-changer for me because I love reading on the go.

They went on to write that this model is “really easy to use, super light, and small enough that I can take it with me almost anywhere.”

Elsewhere, a second buyer said: “It’s so light it’s easy to hold while reading. I took it with me on holiday and the backlight meant I could read without a problem, even in bright light.

”I read for several hours a day and I don’t have to charge it once during the week. I was hesitant to buy it because I wasn’t sure if I would use it much, but I’m definitely glad I did.”

A third wrote: “As an avid reader this is perfect for me. Easy to set up with the Kindle app on my phone. Small and easy to use, very happy with my purchase.”
