At WIRED, we're big fans of Kindles. It's an excellent solution for bookworms who always want access to tons of books on the go in a compact, lightweight form factor. But they can be expensive. If you've been holding off on buying one, you're in luck, because there are Amazon Prime Day Kindle deals on many of our favorite models.

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.

It's October now, which means spooky season and the perfect time to crack open a Stephen King novel on one of the best Kindles. And it just so happens that Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days discount event is now in full swing, and the retailer has unleashed a ton of Kindle discounts to choose from.
