I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I'm as basic as a millennial can get. I'm a book-loving, plant-hoarding, habitual knitter who loves her Kindle and all its accessories. As such, I look forward to Prime Day sales events, during which Amazon historically discounts its own devices for a few days.

Also: These essential smart home devices are highly useful - and all under $25

This year, Amazon Prime Day is happening a bit earlier, running through June 26. The company is showcasing some great deals on Kindle e-readers. Brands that make accessories for Kindles aren't standing still, with many also slashing prices on their top products.

I never thought I'd love having a page-turning device as much as I do now that I've tried one. I used to be one to hold my Kindle every night while reading, but there's something so convenient about propping it up on my headboard and relaxing with my page turner.
