Amazon’s Kindle E-Reader has long been a preferred mode of reading for both eco-conscious folks and travelers and commuters alike. With its ink-free and paper-free design, the portable tablet has made it easy to take your reading on the go, without having to lug a bunch of books around.
Now, it’s even more affordable to get your hands on a Kindle. As one of Amazon’s Prime Day Device Deals, the lightest and most compact e-reader in the Kindle lineup is now just $84.99. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this Kindle since its release.

This Kindle measures 6.2 x 4.3 inches — just slightly larger than a physical photo print. It’s nearly an inch smaller than the popular Kindle Paperwhite ($134) and more than three inches smaller than the Kindle Scribe. It’s also just 0.3 inches thick, making it super portable and easy to tuck into a bag or coat pocket.
Features-wise, the Kindle has a glare-free, 300 ppi high-resolution display for crisp, sharp text that’s easy on the eyes. Adjust the built-in light to brighten the screen if you’re reading at night, and then turn it down when you’re using the Kindle during the day. The book text appears on a white background that’s meant to mimic real paper.
