The spring and summer travel season is here, and it's the perfect time to commit to a few good reads for the plane, train, car, or whatever other form of travel floats your boat.

E-readers like the Kindle are popular travel essentials for their portability and storage, allowing you to pack numerous books into one device. I'm an owner of a Kindle Paperwhite myself, and it's my favorite poolside accessory. Kindles don't often see major sales though, which is why I was totally surprised to see some decent discounts being offered ahead of Mother's Day weekend in the US.

The Kindle Paperwhite is our reviewer's pick for the best Kindle you can buy. It's on sale in all three color options.
