TL;DR: The high-resolution Kindle Oasis is Amazon's best e-reader yet, and you can grab one for just $199.99 ($50 off the original price).


Summer vacations are great, but sometimes getting to your destination…not so much. They say that the journey is half the fun, but when you’re spending eight hours shifting around in an airplane seat or impatiently tolerating multi-day road trips, the “fun” can be hard to find. This gets much more bearable, though, if you just have something to do on your way. Whether you plan on sinking hours on end into playing video games on your Nintendo Switch or drifting away into a greatest hits playlist with your noise-canceling headphones, having something to pass the time is key. One of our favorites is a classic: Reading.

And your summer reading list has never been easier to check off than with the Kindle Oasis — you can get one for just $199.99 on Amazon as a part of their limited-time pre-Prime-Day deals (that’s $50 off).

The Kindle Oasis has the largest, highest resolution display to ever be featured on a Kindle device to date. All your favorite stories and nonfiction e-reads have never been clearer, and the anti-glare screen looks just like real paper. The Oasis is the first completely waterproof Kindle ever — take it to the beach, or even unwind by the pool without the fear of ruining your tablet. It’s also compatible with Audible so you can listen to audiobooks, it’s thin and lightweight, and one charge will get you weeks of use (not just a few hours). Not to mention, you’ll have tons more room on your bookshelves now that you can store all your novels in one place.

Go on and hit the books (well, ebooks) — pick up a Kindle Oasis on Amazon and save $50 off of your purchase.
