During Black Friday I was interested in picking up the latest model of Kindle to keep me busy on my long journey back home, and I'm so glad I did. It's one of my favorite investments from last year, and it felt even better to get it on sale. While the individual model isn't marked down right now, you can still take advantage of an excellent Kindle bundle that Amazon currently has discounted, which is definitely worth considering for avid readers.

The Kindle essentials bundle comes with the latest 2024 Kindle release in matcha alongside a fabric cover in the same color and a power adapter, setting you up with everything you need for $146.97, $15 off its overall value of $161.97. This is a bundle well worth investing in so you can have everything right away without having to come back and spend more cash to get each item individually.

This e-reader features a small, lightweight design that fit perfectly into my backpack. Reading is a joy thanks to the glare-free display and adjustable light. Whether I was reading during the day or late at night, it felt like I could settle into my book just a little bit easier. Not to mention, the battery life is excellent and can last for weeks. It's a perfect companion for those who travel frequently or even if you just enjoy digging into a good book at home on your couch.

Our review of the 2024 Kindle had high praise for it as well, with Mashable's Samantha Mangino saying, "The Amazon Kindle is a phenomenal value. If you're looking to spend about $100 on an e-reader, the Kindle will deliver quick page turns and 16GB of storage to hold thousands and thousands of books." We also think it's the best for the basics in our roundup of the best Kindles.

If you're a book lover looking to make the jump to a digital library, the Kindle is a great way to do it. Don't miss out on this Kindle essentials bundle deal at Amazon.

If audiobooks are more your style than reading off a page, Audible's offering an excellent deal at the moment for new subscribers to its Premium Plus plan. For a limited time until Jan. 21, you can get your first three months for under $1 per month. That's a worthwhile deal to jump on if you enjoy listening to your favorite novels instead.
