Prime Day has kicked off, and the deals have already made their way to one of Amazon’s easiest impulse buys: the newest Kindle Paperwhite. Right now, it’s down to $124.99 from $159.99, which saves you $35 on Amazon’s latest e-reader.

The newest Kindle Paperwhite keeps things simple. The screen is larger, pages turn faster, and the glare-free display stays easy to read whether you're outside in bright sunlight or reading in bed at night. Battery life is one of the biggest draws here too, with a single charge lasting up to 12 weeks.

The Kindle Paperwhite also scored 4.5/5 in Mashable’s review, with Senior Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino saying it’s the Kindle she’d actually recommend over the pricier models. She also said “The Paperwhite is the only one you need,” even compared to the more expensive Signature Edition.

It’s not perfect, though. Samantha pointed out that the power button on the bottom can be a bit annoying, and the screen doesn’t automatically rotate when you turn the device. Still, if you just want a simple, distraction-free e-reader, those quirks are pretty easy to overlook.

Grab the Kindle Paperwhite on Amazon and remember “just one more chapter” is a lie you’ll keep telling yourself.
