tell me that they prefer physical printed books because they like the feel of the paper, the sound of the pages turning, the smell from the ink... Well, if that's what you're focusing on, you really aren't reading, are you? All those should be superfluous if you're deep into a good story.

And given the convenience of an ereader portable tablet with thousands of titles stored locally, Bluetooth connectivity for audiobooks, the cheaper
cost of ebooks, no need for bookshelves that require dusting you can't convince me that buying one of the best Kindles isn't a good investment.

That's especially true right now since Amazon 's Prime Day 2026 sale has seen prices tumble to record lows. In fact, they're even cheaper now than they
were on day one of the sale, which has never happened and I've covered every single Amazon sale in Australia since the online retail giant arrived Down Under in 2017.

All the Australian prices listed below are exclusive to Prime members though, so be sure you have a subscription before buying. If you don't, you can sign up now and get a 30-day free trial as a first-time customer , which will
cover the entire Prime Day sale. You can cancel any time.

All the Kindle Prime Day deals listed below ship to New Zealand at no additional cost, so do not miss this chance.

With Amazon having ended support for some of its older Kindles, now is a very good time to upgrade or get your first ereader. They even make thoughtful gifts...

I love the Matcha Green more than the usual black variant, but if you're looking for the smallest and cheapest Kindle, this is it. You get a 6-inch screen that is an older generation E Ink Carta 1200, but still does a
splendid job of displaying text. There's the standard 16GB of storage but Kindle OS takes up a fair chunk of that, so keep in mind you'll only have about 10GB of usable storage here. (NZ$146.36 with free shipping to New Zealand) View Deal Save 30% (AU$91) Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024): was AU$299 now AU$208 at Amazon

The 2024 Paperwhite remains one of the best Kindles you can get. Its E Ink Carta 1300 screen is fantastic, page turns are quick and we gave it 4 stars
in our review . My only complaint is the same as with the Kindle above which is a significant chunk of its 16GB storage is taken up by the OS, which isn't really a deal breaker. If you have the extra cash, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition will get you double the storage for AU$249 (24% off). (NZ$246.73 and NZ$265.18 respectively for the Paperwhite and the Signature Edition) View Deal Save 34% (AU$135) Amazon Kindle Colorsoft (16GB): was AU$399 now AU$264 at Amazon

The Kindle Colorsoft is one of the best ereaders with a colour display, even offering a feature to make the hues more vivid. While I wouldn't recommend at full price because colour E Ink just isn't there yet, this discount sweetens it for anyone who is sold on the Colorsoft hype (and there's nothing wrong with that). If you'd like more storage than the 16GB version, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is also 27% off to AU$326 . (NZ$276 and NZ$340.81 respectively for the standard and the Signature Edition) View Deal Save 35% (AU$225) Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024; 16GB): was AU$649 now AU$424 at Amazon

Kindles are known for their reading capabilities, but with the Kindle Scribe, you get that and a whole lot more. With a wide range of writing features, you can take notes, create sketches and brainstorm like a pro. I love its 10.2-inch glare-free screen with an ambient light sensor, and it's battery life is excellent too. It's now the previous-gen model, but arguably better value than the 2025 3rd-gen release.
