Are you planning to switch from thumbing through physical books to using an e-book reader? Then you’re probably looking for Kindle deals, as the Amazon product has become synonymous with the reading devices. There are a variety of models to choose from, but if you want the most affordable version, then you’re in luck because the Amazon Kindle is currently even cheaper with a $35 discount from Amazon that brings its price down to just $55, from its original price of $90.

The 10th-generation Amazon Kindle, released in 2019, features a 6-inch touchscreen that uses E Ink technology to make the e-books look like real paper, like the best e-readers. You can still read on the 167 pixel-per-inch, glare-free display even under direct sunlight, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to continue your e-book when you’re outdoors. Whether you’re on the go or in your room, day or night, you’ll be comfortable reading on the Kindle’s screen because of its adjustable screen front light, which is a notable upgrade from its predecessor. The device comes with a rechargeable battery that can last for weeks, so you won’t have to plug it in much, even if you’re a voracious reader.

When you’re using the Amazon Kindle, you can do more than just read e-books, as you can also highlight passages, search for definitions, and translate words without leaving the page. The device also offers 8GB of storage, which is enough to store thousands of e-books so that you’ll never run out of things to read. You can purchase and download the e-books directly to the Kindle, and you can also access the best free books for Kindle.

The 2019 Amazon Kindle may be cheap, but it has most of the features that you would need and expect from a basic e-book reader. It’s also currently even more affordable because Amazon is selling it with a $35 discount, lowering its price to just $55 from its original price of $90. It’s unclear how long the deal will last, so if you don’t want to miss out on this offer, don’t hesitate. Click that Buy Now button as soon as you can to secure your own Amazon Kindle.

Our pick for the best soundbar under $500 is over 50% off at Amazon
Yamaha YAS-209

While surround-sound home theaters are great, they tend to be quite expensive and take up a lot of room, so there is a significant downside to grabbing a set. Luckily, soundbars are an excellent alternative because they're relatively-well priced and they don't take up a lot of space at all. One of the better options out there is the Yamaha Audio YAS-209BL, which is even at the top of our list for best soundbars under $500, so we're very happy to see it get a significant discount from $350 down to just $160 on Amazon.

Why you should buy the Yamaha Audio YAS-209BL
When we reviewed it, we felt that it was one of the best soundbars on the market and that "the Yamaha YAS-209 is everything you need in a soundbar, plus a bunch of features you didn’t know you wanted." For example, since Alexa is built into the soundbar, you can ask it to do pretty much anything you want without having to use your phone and navigate through a menu. While it doesn't have things like Spotify on it, the YAS-209BL can easily get you going with your favorite podcasts and music with Spotify Connect through either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so it really is quite versatile.
