Amazon's October Prime Day 2022 has early access Black Friday deals on everything from kitchen gadgets to TVs to fashion, but one device in particular harkens back to the retail giant's humble beginnings as a bookseller—and also happens to be one of the best e-readers we've ever tested. Right now, the Kindle Paperwhite is under $100.

The Paperwhite is our favorite Kindle because of its display, storage and durability. Text and greyscale images appear crisp on the 6.8-inch display and a new feature that allows you to change the temperature of the display reduces strain from the amount of blue light your eyes are exposed to.
►Competing sales: Beat Prime Day prices with the best sales at Best Buy, Nordstrom, Michael Kors and more
With 8 gigs of memory you can store thousands of books, magazines, newspapers, and even Audible audiobooks. Made to go anywhere, this e-reader will survive being knocked around in your bag and is even water-resistant up to 7 feet, which makes it perfect for that beach read this summer. Improved charging capabilities also mean you can go weeks—weeks!—without needing to plug in.
The Kindle Paperwhite is sure to keep even the most voracious readers entertained whether it's at home or on the go. Book reading purists may have their hang ups on e-readers but the Kindle Paperwhite gives you the classic page experience with its display features and won't weigh you down like toting your thicker volumes would. During the Amazon October Prime Day Early Access sale, it is reduced to $99.99 saving you $40.
