We're well into May which means summer vacation is just a few weeks away. If the kids have reading on their summer vacation agenda, Amazon has a great deal in store today that will double as the perfect end-of-school gift.

As of May 7, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale for $139.99, marked down from the normal price of $179.99. That's a savings of $40, or a 22% discount. It also matches the lowest price we've ever seen Amazon offer.

Amazon's family of Kindle e-readers is extensive these days, and the Kindle Paperwhite Kids comes packed with features for young readers. For starters, it comes with no extra apps or games, which minimizes distractions. But it also comes with Kindle's Paperwhite display technology, which is as close as it gets to reading an actual physical book. This model comes with 16GB of storage, so kids will be able to download plenty of books to read on this summer's road trip. The kid-friendly cover is also great for keeping the device safe.

The display measures seven inches, and the glare-free screen is ideal for reading in the sun or bright rooms. Amazon is also tossing in a free six months of access to Amazon Kids+, which is full of kid-friendly books.
