Amazon sales like Prime Big Deal Days are one of the best times to buy a Kindle on the cheap, but they can also be a great time to pick up e-books. For the first day of the two-day event that is Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has marked down tons of e-books, from self help to fiction and children's books, for prices as low as $1.99.

While a new Kindle is likely imminent, you can still save on current models during Amazon's October Prime Day.

While the Kindle Paperwhite excels at delivering a premium reading experience, it offers even more than just books. With Kindle Unlimited, you can access over 2 million titles and thousands of audiobooks with a subscription. Additionally, pairing it with Bluetooth headphones or speakers allows you to listen to your favorite audiobooks hands-free.
