Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest shopping event of the year that offers thebest deals of the summer, has finally arrived. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been very vocal about my newfound love for e-readers. I used to hate the idea of reading on a device, and I still will always go for a physical book over an e-reader, but it’s difficult to beat the convenience of an e-reader.
E-readers easily fit in most bags and are usually much lighter than a physical book. Now, I’m always making sure to bring my e-reader everywhere. If you’ve been thinking about swapping your bookshelf for an e-reader, this is the time.Amazon’s Prime Dayis officialy here.

The best way to protect your Kindle from any scratches, dents, or general wear and tear is by adding a case to it. I always hate spending money on cases for my devices, which is why Prime Day is the best time to shop for Kindle accessories. If you’re looking for a way to simply protect your device or an easier way to read, there’s something for everyone this Prime Day.

The MoKo TPU clear case gives your Kindle Paperwhite the same protection as a similar case would for a phone.

This ultra-portable e-reader has changed how I read when I travel
The Kobo Clara B&W e-reader single-handedly converted me from an e-reader hater to lover.
Best Kobo e-reader Prime Day deals
I started using aKobo Clarae-reader in May and have brought it everywhere since. The compact six-inch size allows it to fit perfectly in my fanny pack or backpack. While Kindle e-readers may be the better option for Amazon loyalists, Kobo’s devices are more budget-friendly alternatives.
Kobo Elipsa 2E
If you’re a fan of annotating as you read, or always need to have a journal nearby, the Kobo Elipsa 2E e-reader is for you. The e-reader includes a stylus that allows you to annotate, take notes, and search keywords as you read. Normally, the e-reader costs almost $400, but you’re able to buy it for significantly less this Prime Day.
Those looking for an e-reader with a bigger screen may want to buy an 8-inch Kobo Sage this Prime Day. The Kobo Sage works with a Kobo Stylus (sold separately), which allows you to annotate and take notes as you read. Users can also add their own eBooks and documents wirelessly.
Should you get a Kindle this Prime Day?
There’s no better time to shop for Kindle e-readers than on Amazon’s biggest discount day of the year. Although all the major deals have been announced yet, you’re bound to save a good amount on e-readers. Kindle devices are a great way to read lots of books and offer impressively long battery life, so you don’t have to worry about it dying while you’re mid-read. One of the best bonuses of using a Kindle is the app Libby. Library cardholders can borrow e-books on Libby for free.
Overall, Kindle e-readers are worth the money, especially if you’re shopping at a discounted price.
How to use your Amazon Prime Reading perk to get free books
If you’re a Prime member, you can use Prime Reading to access free books. Here’s everything you need to know about this Prime benefit for book lovers.
Should I buy a Kindle over other e-readers on Prime Day?
Kindles won’t be the onlye-readerson sale in the coming weeks. Other e-readers such as Kobo devices will also be discounted, but Amazon’s Kindle line will most likely offer the best sales. I’ve tested both the Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Clara in the past month. While both devices have their perks, I would opt for a Paperwhite over the Clara. The Kindle Paperwhite is more sophisticated and has a longer battery life than the Clara, but I prefer the Kobo Clara’s size over the Paperwhite’s. Unfortunately, there aren’t any Prime Day Kobo deals yet, but I’ll update this story if that changes.
