SAVE $70: As of June 21, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids (8GB) is on sale for $89.99 at Amazon ahead of Prime Day. That's a discount of 44% off its regular price of $159.99.


The cat's out of the bag: Amazon has officially announced the dates for Prime Day 2023 and already started releasing some not-to-miss deals ahead of time. Amazon has been known to prioritize its own products for sales, including fan-favorite Kindles. We recently rounded up the biggest Kindle discounts currently available, but there's a new one you need to check out ASAP — and this one's for the kids in your life.

As of June 21, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids (8GB) is on sale for just $89.99 at Amazon, which is this Kindle's lowest price ever (as recently as June 12, the Paperwhite Kids cost $99.99). We think a $70 markdown is incredible on a Kindle model like this, but you do have to be a Prime Member to score it. Learn how to sign up for Amazon Prime if you haven't already by checking out our comprehensive guide.

When we reviewed the Paperwhite Kids back in 2021, we fell in love with the e-reader's glare-free display (making reading a breeze in any lighting), water-resistant qualities, and included one-year Amazon Kids+ membership. The subscription includes an extensive library of kid-friendly literature, as well as a special Vocabulary Builder tool that allows young readers to look up unfamiliar words instantly. Ease of mind for parents is also a bonus: Amazon offers a two-year free replacement guarantee with this Kindle in case of damage or malfunction. Helping the kiddos fall in love with reading this summer has never been easier.
