The Amazon Kindle, which Strategist editor Maxine Builder named her best purchase of 2018, is on sale today for 39 percent off. The Kindle makes a great gift for voracious readers — especially those who are commuting again. Builder writes that it’s “super light, with a responsive touch screen” and can be used one-handed while clinging to a subway pole. The Kindle’s glare-free screen and backlight make it easy to read in all settings — from a sunny park picnic to in bed before falling asleep (which Builder describes as “surprisingly relaxing”). Its 8 GB storage capacity can hold thousands of titles, and an on-page toolbar can highlight passages, look up definitions, and adjust text size — a handy feature, we should add, for the mom who is always losing her “cheaters.”
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
