Not only does the sale slash prices on physical and e-books, Amazon discounted the latest Kindle, the Kindle Colorsoft, which is the first Kindle to include a color screen. You're also in luck if you're in the mood for a cookbook refresh, or if your summer plans involve poolside romantasy reads.

Why we like it
The latest Kindle is the first to offer a color screen, which couldn't be more perfect for scrolling magazines, reading graphic novels, or highlighting favorite passages. During the Amazon Book Sale, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB) is on sale for $224.99, down from the normal price of $279.99. That matches the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon. Plus, Amazon is throwing in three months of free access to Kindle Unlimited, which gives you access to countless titles to fill your new Kindle.
If your summer vacation plans include finally catching up on this year's best novels, consider the packing efficiency that comes from downloading thousands of books to your Kindle compared to lugging around physical books. Plus, the Kindle Colorsoft is waterproof, so you won't need to worry about splashes, and the glare-free screen is great for reading in bright sunlight.
