The Kindle has dropped from $100 to $85. While that's not an all-time-low price, it matches the offer that we saw during Amazon's Prime Day sale in July. The standard Kindle is our pick for the best budget ereader. With its six-inch, 300dpi E Ink display, it's the lightest and most compact model in Amazon's lineup at the moment.

Aside from shopping during Amazon Prime Day, browsing deals at the mega retailer during holidays like Labor Day, President's Day, and Memorial Day can be a smart choice if you like to save some money.

The latest Amazon Kindle model is the lightest yet with features that let you read at night without straining your eyes. You can get the ad-free version for $95.99 (originally $119.99), after a 20% discount.
