Kindle Oasis gets a huge price cut during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days
Another great price drop on one of the shopping giant's own Kindle e-readers
The deals just keep coming on Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and we’ve spotted yet another great price drop on one of the shopping giant’s own Kindle e-readers.
In the UK, you can get a whopping 22% off the Kindle Oasis e-reader at Amazon UK, bringing its price down to a more affordable £180 from its £230 RRP – a hearty £50 discount. That puts it in line with a full-price Kindle Paperwhite (although there are deals for that below, too!).
Over at Amazon US, the best deal is on the Kindle Oasis Essentials bundle, which includes a leather cover and charging adapter. It usually retails for $319.97, but is available for $289.97 this Prime Day – a $30 saving.
We rate the Oasis as the best Kindle to buy if money is no object – and at this great price, that’s certainly less of an issue. In our Kindle Oasis review, we deemed it the best of the best, awarding it a perfect five star score for its incredible display, battery life, hand feel and waterproofing among other great features.
Of course, a minor catch is that Prime Day sales are only available to Prime members. But you can easily get round this by bagging a 30-day FREE trial for Prime. You can cancel at any time, and if you decide to keep it, it’ll set you back $139/£79 for the year or $14.99/£7.99 a month.
Elsewhere, you can save £30 on the 16GB Paperwhite model. Amazon has slashed 20% off its price, bringing it down to just £120 while supplies last. That’s for the ad-packing version of the latest device, which normally costs £150 at its RRP.
Over at Amazon US, there’s a 24% discount to be had. The 32GB, no-ads model with a cork cover and wireless charging dock usually costs $272.97, but can be had for $207.97 during Prime Day, for an impressive £65 off.
We also awarded a full five star score in our Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review, saying quite simply: “The Kindle almost everyone should buy remains the Kindle almost everyone should buy.”
The Paperwhite is a fully waterproof device, so you don’t have to worry about dropping it in the bath or pool, as well as featuring a super-sharp 300ppi display. Its battery will last for up to six weeks on a single charge, according to the manufacturer, while the 16GB capacity means even the most voracious readers won’t have to worry about downloading too many titles.
Or, if you want a step up in features and fanciness, you can also save £50 on the luxe Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition – now available for just £150, a savings of 17% on its regular £180 RRP. In the US, you’re looking at a 20% saving, bringing the price down from $264.97 to $200.97.
The Signature Edition adds wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light to the already impressive Paperwhite package, whilst also coming with 32 GB storage as standard.
There’s also a deal on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids edition, with £30 off the 16GB model in the UK, bringing the RRP down from £160 to £130. In the US, there’s a $60 saving, with 30% knocked off the $202.97 RRP, making it $142.97.
If you want to take things to the next level with some hand-drawn annotations, note-taking, and doodling, then the premium Kindle Scribe might also tempt you. You can currently save a whopping £65 off the RRP of £330, this Prime day. US-based readers can also get in on the Kindle Scribe discount action. There’s a saving of 28%, reducing the price by a massive $123, from $439.97 to $316.97 for the 16GB Basic Pen version.
Lastly, the regular 2022 model Kindle gets some Prime Day discount love too. It’s currently on sale for £75 in the UK, with 12% off its £85 RRP.
Whether you’re an avid reader yourself or there’s an important bookworm in your life, if you’re in the market for a Kindle e-reader, don’t miss these amazing deals.
