SAVE $50: Get through that pile of books you've been meaning to read with a Kindle Oasis on sale for $199.99 at Amazon as of August 18 — that's 20% off its MSRP of $249.99.


With about a month of summer bliss left, your days are numbered for getting through your lengthy summer reading list. Make it easier on yourself by grabbing a Kindle. These Amazon e-readers let you read wherever, whenever (even in the pool!), so you can check off your list as the countdown to fall begins.

As of August 18, the Kindle Oasis, Amazon's top-level Kindle device, is on sale for $199.99 at Amazon. While still steep, that's $50 off its MSRP and a more palatable price than the typical $249.99.

With a seven-inch, 300 ppi flush-front Paperwhite display and adjustable warm light, the Oasis reads just like a real book, no matter the time of day. It's also built to withstand getting splashed at the beach or dropped in the bathtub, hot tub, or pool. So, you can flip through a page-turner and enjoy a pool day at the same time without worrying about your book getting soggy. You won't even have to squint to see the screen.

Other things that make the Oasis a premium Kindle device are its sleek and optimized ergonomic design, page turn buttons that let you read seamlessly with one hand, and the ability to pair with Audible to enjoy your favorite stories in audio format.
