I read over 20 books on my Kindle Paperwhite last year — Get one for $130 during the Big Spring Sale

Are you slacking on your 2026 reading goals? It’s only March, so there’s still plenty of time to right the ship, but if I may, I’d like to let you in on my secret to crushing reading goals year after year.

Meet the Kindle Paperwhite, the compact e-reader that — I am not exaggerating — goes everywhere with me.

Whether I’m commuting between work and home, traveling, or even just lounging by the pool, my Kindle will never be too far away; that way, whenever I have a free moment, I can continue reading my book.

While nothing can quite beat the feeling of cracking open a brand new book, physical books are not always practical when you’re on the go. Say, for example, you’re diving into “Dune” — at 704 pages, that paperback is roughly the size of a brick. Or maybe you’re just trying to hide all of that steamy romantasy you’ve been reading lately (though, we don’t judge if you are having a bit of a romantasy era).

A Kindle Paperwhite is portable, lightweight and thin, and smaller than most books, and you’re able to hide what you’re reading from nosy friends and strangers.

The Amazon Big Spring Sale is officially on, and you can score one of these Kindle Paperwhite e-readers for 15% off from March 25 to March 31.

Your Amazon Big Spring Sale FAQs, answered

What is Big Spring Sale?

This annual Amazon Spring Sale offers deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. The seasonality of the sale makes it prime (pun intended) for savings on outdoor products, spring cleaning needs, tools and home essentials, plus all the great discounts you’ve come to expect from a Prime Day-like event.

How long is Big Spring Sale?

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is a marathon compared to the retailer’s shorter deal events. Shoppers can take advantage of seasonal discounts running from Wednesday, March 25 through Tuesday, March 31.

Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop?

Unlike Prime Day in July, this event is open to everyone who shops on Amazon. However interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits with no strings attached, and gain access to exclusive deals, special “Prime” badges on select items and the added convenience of fast, free shipping.

What are the best deals?

From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that Big Spring Sale is the ideal period to stock up on household essentials, refill your skincare empties, save on the best vacuums to save your spring cleaning projects, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.

Is it worth it?

We certainly think so! Big Spring Sale is a great chance to score deals on thousands of best-sellers, seasonal favorites, big-ticket tech and appliances and every day essentials. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you the very best items to grab on sale.

When is the next Prime Day?

Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years.
