The Kindle is a tablet, but it’s purpose-built for reading. With its glare-resistant 6-inch diagonal screen and built-in night light, you can read anywhere, anytime; on the beach, poolside, or in bed. You can also easily adjust the screen brightness, font face and size, and line spacing to suit your preferences. Amazon also optimized the monochrome display for reading with 16 grayscale levels.

The all-new Kindle is the right size and weight to hold one-handed without strain. It measures just 6.3 inches tall x 4.3 inches wide x 0.34 inches thick. The Kindle weighs only 6.1-ounces, less than most paperback books.

You can access Amazon or your online library to download new titles via the Kindle’s Wi-Fi connection to a mobile hot spot or public Wi-Fi. As you build a library of e-books, you can take them with you on the Kindle. The e-reader’s 4GB of storage holds thousands of books.

You won’t need to worry about running out of power often, and you never have to replace batteries. The Kindle’s rechargeable battery lasts weeks per charge, not just hours or days. Battery life varies, depending on the brightness setting and wireless use. A full recharge with the included USB cable takes about four hours, and then you’re ready to go for weeks.

If you enjoy listening to books, the Kindle is Audible audiobook compatible. If you’re new to Audible, you can sign up for a free trial with two free books. When you play audiobooks on the Kindle, you can listen through Bluetooth-connected headphones or speakers. As you travel or move about during your day, it’s easy to switch between reading books on the screen and listening.

Normally $90, the all-new Kindle’s $60 price during Amazon’s Memorial Day Sale is a great bargain. This year, whether you go on vacation or plan a staycation, this versatile e-reader is a book lover’s delight. We don’t know how long this unprecedented deal will be available, so don’t delay if you want a new Kindle for yourself or others in your family.

This Ninja air fryer is $69 for Memorial Day, and it’s selling fast
The Ninja 4QT Air Fryer next to a plate of food.

There's often one thing that can easily take you by surprise when it comes to air fryers — the cost in your head versus the cost in reality. Air fryers ultimately seem cool, but the price can often sail North of what value we'll really be getting out of the device. That is, unless we shop great air fryer deals, like this one we found as part of our Memorial Day deal hunting. Usually a somewhat expensive $89, today you can save $20 and get the Ninja 4QT Air Fryer for a much cooler $69. Check it out by tapping the button below or keep reading for our take and all of the details.

Why you should buy the Ninja 4QT Air Fryer
The Ninja 4QT Air Fryer is a highly-beloved air fryer that (as the not-so-clever model name suggests) holds four quarts of food, or about enough for two pounds of French fries in a single batch. Due to a wide temperature range, you can go beyond air frying to also dehydrate or reheat foods, especially those that should be served crispy but lose that satisfying crunch we crave after a long night in the fridge. For example, using a low fan speed and low temperature setting you can make fresh, liquid-heavy vegetables like zucchini into a healthy crunchy snack.

Amazon’s Memorial Day sale has a 75-inch QLED TV under $900
Vizio Quantum Pro 4K QLED Smart TV.

Would you believe that you can currently buy a 75-inch QLED TV for less than $1,000? Amazon made it possible through its QLED TV deals for Memorial Day with its $102 discount for the 75-inch Vizio Quantum Pro 4K QLED TV, which brings its price down to just $898 from $1,000 originally. It's relatively affordable for its size and the technology that it packs, but we're not sure how much time is remaining before the offer gets taken down. It won't be a good idea to wait until the last minute of the holiday to make this purchase as stocks may be gone by then -- you should proceed with your purchase right now.

Why you should buy the 75-inch Vizio Quantum Pro 4K QLED TV
First and foremost, you're going to have to check out our guide on what size TV to buy before you commit to the 75-inch Vizio Quantum Pro 4K QLED TV. Once you make sure that you have enough space for this huge screen, you should start looking forward to watching your favorite content in 4K Ultra HD resolution, for lifelike details and colors. The TV also comes with an anti-reflective film on its display so you can easily see what's happening no matter what time of the day or night.

This shark self-emptying robot vacuum is $100 off for Memorial Day
A woman on a sofa controls the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum with her smartphone.

Even though Memorial Day is probably the best time to get yourself some electronics, there are some great early Memorial Day deals that are worth snatching up. One great example is deals on excellent robot vacuums, like the Shark Matrix, which is also self-emptying. While it usually goes for a whopping $450, you can grab it now for just $350 from Amazon, which may still seem like a lot, but it's so packed with features that it's actually a steal at the lower price tag.

Why you should buy the Shark Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum
The name Matrix isn't just there to make it feel advanced and from the future, but instead describes how the Shark Matrix does its cleaning; rather than going back and forth in rows, it actually cleans along a grid. Combine that with the fact that it can go over pretty much any surface, and you get a robot vacuum that will go over a single spot multiple times, ensuring that it grabs any remaining spots of debris. It also uses 360-degree LiDAR to map your home so that it's not constantly bumping into things or causing issues; plus, this home mapping can be used for some of its smart home features, such as setting no-go zones.
