- Deep discounts on popular products are beginning to dwindle on Amazon as the company shifts its focus to shipping mainly essential items for the next few weeks.
- Amazon is a deals company first and foremost though, so it will continue to offer great deals on some of its most popular products even as it focuses mainly on things like medical supplies and food.
- On Monday, the retailer kicked off a big sale that slashes the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite to their lowest prices of the year so far.

The spread of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is picking up pace in the United States, with more than 15,000 confirmed cases as of the time of this writing. That's believed to represent only a fraction of the actual infections out there because tests are still in such short supply and testing is still so limited. We all need to do our part by staying indoors in our homes and avoiding contact with anyone outside our homes unless it's absolutely necessary. We all need to shop for food, for example, and some people with jobs that are deemed essential still have to go to work. Beyond that, however, we should self-quarantine as much as possible.
All that time spent indoors can make it easy for family members to get on each other's nerves, so it's important to be certain that we all get enough alone time. And there is perhaps no better way to spend that alone time than by reading a good book. That's why Amazon is running a terrific sale that slashes its two best-selling eBook readers to the lowest prices of the year so far. Hurry and you can pick up an all-new Kindle reader for just $59.99 instead of $90, and the $130 waterproof Kindle Paperwhite is on sale for $94.99. And when we say "waterproof," we definitely mean waterproof and not water-resistant. You can literally read it underwater if you can hold your breath that long!
Note that the prices above are for the 8GB versions with special offers, but Amazon's 32GB models are discounted as well, as are the versions without special offers. That said, you should definitely go for the versions with special offers since you save money just because they display offers on the lock screen that you never look at anyway.
