I test e-readers — Ive personally vetted the best-ever Kindle deals to shop on Prime Day

Testing Kindles and e-readers is my job, but it's also my passion. I use my Kindle Paperwhite every day — unless I'm testing a new e-reader — and it's accompanied me on many a summer adventure. So, while I spend a lot of time convincing Mashable readers to buy my favorite e-readers, I also track the best times to buy one.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 is now in full swing, and Kindle deals are back in a big way. Several models have dropped to record-low prices, and the newer Kindle Scribes are finally seeing discounts, too.

$199.99 Save $55   Get Deal Why we like it

My absolute favorite Prime Day Kindle deal is on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. It's the e-reader that I use every day, and it just hit a new all-time low price of $144.99. That makes it cheaper than the Paperwhite at full price, but it also makes it the same price as the currently on sale Paperwhite without ads.

However, the Signature Edition is far more bang for your buck as it comes with twice the storage, an auto-adjusting front light, and wireless charging. It's an exceptional deal and the device's new lowest price ever.

How do Kindle prices compare to previous sales?

Having tracked prices on Kindles for years, I have a pretty good sense of how much Amazon's e-readers cost during a sale. So how are Kindle deals this Prime Day?

The Kindle Paperwhite's lowest price ever is $124.99, which the device dropped to during Black Friday, Prime Big Deals Days, and of course, last year's Prime Day. This year it's back down to $124.99. The Signature Edition on the other hand reached a new low of $144.99, just $20 more for a boatload of extra features.

The deal I'm most disappointed in is on the basic Kindle, which previously dropped to $79.99. This Prime Day, it's $5 more for $84.99. New deals this Prime Day include the latest Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft, both getting their first price drops since being released.

The best Prime Day deals on DJI creator tools — we vetted deals on wireless mics, drones, and cameras

We're on Day 3 of Amazon Prime Day, and if you've had your eye on any DJI gear, now's the time to click "add to cart."

In case you haven't heard, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially added foreign-produced drones and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to its national security Covered List on December 22, 2025. This means DJI isn't allowed to import or sell any new drone models moving forward (so a future Mavic 5 Pro is out). That also means you can only buy DJI drones at Amazon from third-party sellers here in the United States, which is a bummer.

SEE ALSO: 50+ of the best Prime Day tech deals, personally vetted by a tech editor on a budget

The good news? Anything that already secured FCC approval before the cutoff — like the Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, and Neo 2 — is legal to buy, own, and fly. So, if you want to grab a beginner-friendly drone or stock up on discounted backup batteries, action cams, and creator gear, Prime Day is likely your best window to get them on sale before the inventory dries up.

Many of the DJI products in this guide — like the DJI Mini Mini, the DJI Mic 3, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and the DJI Osmo 7P Gimbal — have been personally tested and recommended by Mashable product reviewers, so we can vouch for them.

Best Prime Day DJI drone deal DJI Mini 3 $269 at Amazon
$419 Save $150   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Best Buy Why we like it

Right now, you can get the DJI Mini 3 for $269, down from $419. That's a 36% discount or a $150 savings. It's also a jump from where we saw it earlier this week, if you can believe it (it was $381). This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model to date.

The DJI Mini 3 is a level up from the DJI Mini 4K, which is a more budget-friendly pick for entry-level fliers (and at just $209, a steal). It weighs less than 249g, features 4K HDR video with True Vertical Shooting (ideal for photographers or real estate agents), and has a 38-minute max flight time.

The DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo includes an extension rod, three batteries (two more than the Standard Combo), and a multifunctional battery case, and it's currently on sale for $169 — a new record-low price.

The camera itself features a 1/1.3-inch sensor for shooting in low-light conditions, as well as 4K video capabilities at up to 120fps with a 155-degree ultra-wide field of view. It offers up to 150 minutes of battery life and it works in temperatures as low as -20°C. It's even waterproof to depths of 18m, making it an ideal choice for vlogging your outdoor adventures.

The DJI Mic 3 is on sale for $219, down from $329. This is another all-time low price for a Mashable-tested wireless microphone kit.

The Mic 3 is a compact wireless microphone system designed for creators, podcasters, and interviewers who need quality audio while on the go. It supports up to four transmitters, features adaptive gain control and selectable noise cancellation, and uses dual-band transmission for clear audio in busy environments. You'll get up to 28 hours of battery life with the charging case, so it's great for long hours of recording. Not to mention, it has compatibility with a huge range of DJI devices.

The DJI Power 1000 V2 is a Mashable fave and it's currently on sale for $364, down from $449.99. That's a 19% discount or $85.99 savings.

It has a 1,024Wh battery capacity and a 2,600W stable output, which is plenty of juice to run appliances like electric cookers, heaters, and your refrigerator. And according to our contributor, Lauren Allain, this version has double the AC ports and it charges from 0 to 100 percent just in 56 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup knockouts are almost here, and all teams are looking to enter the most exciting part of the tournament in style.

Sweden, on the other hand, absolutely need a win here to regain momentum, having become the first team in World Cup history to win their opener 5-1 then lose their second game 5-1.

The DJI Flip is rarely on sale — buy for best-ever price of $399 on Prime Day

Mashable - 8 hours 46 min ago

SAVE $100: As of June 25, the DJI Flip (RC-N3) Bundle is down to $399 at Amazon. That's 20% off over Prime Day.

$499 Save $100   Get Deal

Prime Day is in full swing, and the DJI Flip (RC-N3) Bundle is down to $399 at Amazon. It's reduced from $499, saving you $100 on list price. It’s also the lowest price we’ve seen for this bundle, which doesn’t usually get discounted like this.

The DJI Flip is a compact 4K camera drone that comes as a ready-to-fly bundle with a remote controller, extra safety gear, and a 128GB memory card included, so you’re not missing anything out of the box.

SEE ALSO: The best Prime Day deals on DJI creator tools — we vetted deals on wireless mics, drones, and cameras

It’s light enough to stay under the 249g limit, which means it doesn’t require FAA registration for recreational use in the U.S., making it easier to travel with and use casually. Despite the size, it’s built to handle outdoor flying with protective propeller guards that help reduce damage if you bump into something.

For shooting, it uses a larger camera sensor that captures more light, resulting in clear, detailed shots in both bright and low-light settings. Video tops out at 4K at up to 60 frames per second, so footage stays smooth and sharp, especially for outdoor scenes like travel or action shots.

It can also track a subject while flying, so the drone can follow a person or object automatically instead of requiring constant manual control. Battery life goes up to around 31 minutes per charge, which is enough for a few solid flight sessions before you need to swap or recharge.

Grab the DJI Flip (RC-N3) Bundle at Amazon before this deal flies off on its own.

Daily Shows Josh Johnson has perfect response to MAGA rapper Anthony Constantino

Mashable - 8 hours 47 min ago

Amateur rapper, boxer, extremely public Trump supporter, and sticker business CEO Anthony Constantino won the Republican House nomination in New York's North Country on Wednesday. And if you haven't heard the businessman-turned-politician's apparently hip hop releases like his album titled Thank You, President Trump, one Constantino says he made "to persuade all Americans to be more patriotic and to see the world as we see it, using the power of music," The Daily Show's Josh Johnson has done it for you.

"As Black people, I know we had our fun, but I think we need to let rap go," the host joked on Wednesday night. "It's over now. We lost it."

Johnson then played footage from Constantino's racist attempt at a diss track against New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, and it's a stream of insults that see rhythm and rhyme as optional.

"Did he just get so mad he forgot he was supposed to be rapping?" said Johnson. "Like, that's not even a song anymore. It's just a guy on the corner going '...and another thing!'"

It runs on Apple’s A17 Pro chip, the same one powering Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro lineup, so it handles everyday apps, multitasking, and even heavier tasks like photo and video editing without slowing down.

Apple Intelligence features are also built in, mainly focused on writing help, summaries, and smart suggestions that run directly on the device for faster responses and better privacy.

The 8.3-inch display is sharp and color-accurate, with a smoother feel when scrolling or drawing. It’s small enough to fit in a bag easily, but still big enough that you’re not squinting at it for videos, reading, or work tasks.

Grab the Apple iPad mini A17 Pro on Amazon before this deal does its disappearing act.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
