Best Prime Day Kindle Deals: Fire HD, Oasis, Paperwhite, And More

The Kindle Oasis is Amazon's most advanced and feature-rich e-reader. It features a gorgeous 7-inch display, which is the largest and crispest screen available on a Kindle with a paper aesthetic. It's also the only Kindle in its class to block harsh blue light and has a unique form factor that may make it more comfortable to hold for some readers. The Oasis has adjustable warm light, which adds to its user-friendly design. The Oasis is fully waterproof, too, so you can read in the tub or pool if you'd like. The 8GB model is on sale for $185, while the 32GB model is down to $210. You can also pay a little extra if you don't want ads on your lock screen.

The Kindle Paperwhite is a much cheaper alternative to the Oasis, and it still has 300 pixels per inch, giving it stellar readability that really shows off the e-ink technology. The Paperwhite has a 6-inch display and a small form factor that allows you to carry it around in your pocket. This is a no-frills e-reader that's designed for those who simply want to read books on a high-quality e-ink screen.

Amazon's standard Kindle is the most affordable of the e-ink tablets. It's a solid and extremely portable device that holds a charge for weeks and can store thousands of books. It's certainly readable, but if you don't have the best eyesight, you probably want to opt for the Kindle Paperwhite. The regular Kindle only has 167 pixels per inch, so it's not nearly as crisp as its more expensive cousins (Oasis and Paperwhite). Still, at this price, the Kindle is a real bargain.

For a Kindle tablet with all-around entertainment, the Fire HD 8 offers great value. As a conventional tablet, the Kindle Fire HD 8 has a myriad of uses, including streaming movies and TV shows on your favorite services, reading books, browsing the internet, checking email, and scrolling through social media. It also has Alexa built-in and can connect to your smart home devices like the Echo Dot, Ring Doorbell, and more. It's available in 32GB and 64GB models.

The Fire HD 8 Plus is a bit pricier than the standard model, but it does have some notable features and improvements that make it worthwhile for some users. It has a sleeker look along with a faster processor and 3GB of RAM (versus 2GB in the standard). The Fire HD 8 Plus supports wireless charging and has a fast-charging feature via USB-C.

The Kindle Kids Edition is similar to the standard Kindle but with a few notable differences specifically designed with youngsters in mind. The Kids Edition comes with a year subscription to Amazon Kids+ (normally $3 per month), which is loaded with books to read for free. Parents can set parental controls to monitor what their kids are reading, and the Kids Edition also comes with a protective case (blue, pink, Rainbow Birds, or Space Station).

The Kindle Fire HD 8 Kids Pro is Amazon's most advanced tablet aimed at younger audiences. It comes with a year of Amazon Kids+, which unlocks 20,000 apps, games, books, shows, and more. There's so much content here that it's unlikely your kid will get bored. The Fire HD 8 Kids Pro comes with a protective rubber case complete with a kickstand that lets them prop up the tablet on a flat surface.

The Kindle Fire 7 Kids Edition is a more budget-friendly tablet with a smaller screen and bigger case that's designed with young children in mind. Whereas the Fire HD Kids Pro may be good for upper elementary school kids, the Fire 7 Kids is great for toddlers and early elementary school-age children. It also comes with a year of Amazon Kids+ and has plenty of apps, shows, and books that will appeal to youngsters. It doesn't have the same processing power of the Fire HD Kids Pro, but it's a durable and feature-rich starter tablet with tons of entertainment and educational value.
