Kindle Paperwhite — $100, was $140

The Kindle Paperwhite features a 6.8-inch display with much thinner borders than previous models, and a glare-free display that reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight. Reading is so intuitive with the Paperwhite that we think it’s the best e-reader for avid bookworms, which you can read all about in our Kindle Paperwhite review. It even features adjustable warm light temperatures that make reading easier on the eyes based on the amount of light in the room, as well as water resistance that can withstand a drop in the bathtub or a splash at the beach. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite allows you to take millions of book titles with you wherever you go, and lasts weeks on a single battery charge. It’s a great Kindle option for people who read a lot, or who just want a comfortable and convenient digital reading experience.

Kindle Oasis — $200, was $280

The Kindle Oasis is the most advanced Kindle ever, and features the same display as the Paperwhite model, which comes in at 7 inches and 300ppi, and is able to utilize the latest e-ink technology. It also has warm light temperature adjustment control, creating a richer reading experience in any light. The Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite share the ability to take millions of book titles with you wherever you go, and the Oasis model does it with a unique and ergonomic design that feels more natural, like holding a book. Full control over text size and boldness is part of the Oasis interface, as is the ability to customize your screen with a reimagined user interface. The new Library experience helps you find your favorite books with ease, and a new Home experience helps you discover new books by genre and category.

Dive watches have gone smart — Get $200 back on a Garmin dive watch today

In the world of watches, there is something known as a dive watch. Practically speaking, most people that use them don't actually dive with them. Though, unless they're a horribly cheap imitation, they're typically quite water resistant, have highly visible features, and have a rotating ring around the face to help you keep track of your remaining Oxygen. They do something, but not a lot.

That's why lately we've been looking at the latest generation of the Garmin Descent, a smart watch that is a true diver's watch and not merely a "dive watch" in the traditional sense. It's also why we're excited to see a $200 rebate offer across watches in their Mk3 and Mk3i lines. It's all available for you now through July 16 if you tap the button below. That can take a 43mm Descent Mk3 from $1,200 to $1,000, as an example, but literally all of the combinations of sizes and models available on the store page have this offer, so take your pick.
