Introduction:

We’ve gathered up a few of our top picks for you to shop on May 9, including brands you know and love like Kindle and Apple. Here are the best Amazon deals of the day. Make sure to check back at our top picks for May 8 as well — a few of those are still live.
Kindle Unlimited Membership:
If you’re an avid reader looking to expand your library, Kindle is offering a three-month membership for free as part of the Amazon Book Sale. Usually priced at $11.99 per month, this deal saves you $35.97. Kindle Unlimited allows access to over 4 million digital titles, including best-selling books, popular series, and even audiobooks. The membership can be enjoyed on your phone, tablet, or Kindle e-reader, giving you multiple options to indulge in your favorite reads. With three months of free membership, you have plenty of time to explore the vast collection before deciding whether to continue with a paid subscription.
Pairing Kindle Unlimited with Kindle Scribe:
For those looking to enhance their reading experience, the Kindle Scribe is an excellent addition to pair with the three-month Kindle Unlimited membership. As part of the Amazon Book Sale, the Kindle Scribe (16GB, Basic Pen version) is currently priced at $239.99, offering a $100 discount and matching its all-time low price. Although not perfect, as noted in Mashable’s review by Alex Perry, the Kindle Scribe bridges the gap between traditional reading and e-reading by including a stylus for marking up books. This feature allows readers to engage more deeply with their favorite texts and make personal annotations.
Affordable Laptop Option: ASUS Vivobook Go 12
If you’re in need of an affordable laptop for everyday tasks, the ASUS Vivobook Go 12 is a great choice. Weighing just over 2 pounds, this portable device offers convenience on the go. With a battery life of up to 12 hours and a 180-degree hinge that allows it to lay flat, it’s perfect for sharing purposes. The touchpad also doubles as a number pad, adding to its versatility. While the specs may not be top-notch, with an Intel Celeron N4500 processor, 4GB RAM, and 128GB SSD, it serves its purpose well. As of May 9, the ASUS Vivobook Go 12 is on sale for just $179.99, saving you 22% and marking its first price drop since release.
Discounted AirPods Max:
Apple’s AirPods Max, known for their premium quality and hefty price tag, are currently available at a discounted price. Priced at $449.99, they are $99 cheaper than their original price. While not the lowest price ever, which was $429 in September 2022, this deal still offers significant savings. Former Mashable tech reporter Branda Stolyar praised the AirPods Max for their excellent audio quality, easy-to-use controls, and good battery life in her review. However, it’s worth noting that they may not be the most comfortable option for extended wear due to fit issues.
Conclusion:
These are just a few of the top Amazon deals of the day, offering savings on popular products like Kindle Unlimited, the Kindle Scribe, ASUS Vivobook Go 12, and AirPods Max.
