It's the perfect time to buy a Kindle. These slim, lightweight e-readers are ideal companions for digging through a sci-fi epic while traveling during the summer. Not to mention they make excellent Mother's Day gifts.

Luckily, Amazon has just launched a big sale that discounts some of the best Kindles. You can get our favorite, the Kindle Paperwhite for $114 at Amazon. Its 6.8-inch flush display looks fantastic, and it can survive accidental submersion in water. Or, if you're on a smaller budget, the basic Kindle is on sale for $79 at Amazon.

Kindle Scribe: was $339 now $239 @ Amazon
The Kindle Scribe is the first Amazon e-reader you can write on. It has a 10.2-inch 300 ppi display, an adjustable light, and comes with the Basic Pen included. You can handwrite sticky notes on your Kindle books, edit documents, and create notebooks and journals. In our Kindle Scribe review we said its larger screen size, screen quality, and general design are great for reading, but make it a tough sell at its full price. Now on sale, it's a batter bargain and easier to recommend.
