9 Kindle books for the summer 2025 for those who love long readings

THE Books for Kindle to bring on vacation I am a cross and delight of the reader on the road: they ensure hours of company, but they can be uncomfortable and heavy to carry on the bag or backpack (especially if very long). The solution is there: the Kindle, the device to read in digital format, but without losing the pleasure of paper reading.

In the complicated art of preparing the suitcases, it is normal to reserve space for books, from the great classics to the news of the moment. The most passionate, however, could find themselves having to make luggage ad hoc only for readings. And it is here that the Ebook readers and books in digital format Cards change on the table: small, light and compact, they can contain hundreds of books (of any size).

Perfect solution for sagas and maxi volumes which, even in everyday life, risk being bulky and weighing too much (also to be read on the sofa or on the beach bed).

We have selected the longer books, but in Kindle format. Compelling and interesting readings: from classics to yellows, from novels set in another century up to best seller contemporary. To mentally escape a college of Vermont, among the fields of Alabama or in the Naples of Elena Ferrante. And if long books are not enough, we also included trilogies, sagas and collections of novelsfrom thrillers to editorial cases of the moment.

The editorial case

God of illusions, woman tartt

Libraries, tweed jackets, ancient Greeks and rites that go to the margin of madness. The bestseller of Donna Tartt (an editorial case also relaunched by Tiktok) is rightly considered the progenitor of the Dark Academia atmospheres. The elite college in Vermont where the story of secrets, privileges and violence will become the place to escape, get lost and take refuge in this long torrid summer.

The longest book

Einaudi

The book of the moment

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Gabrielle Zevin

The universe outlined by Gabrielle Zevin is actually much more multifaceted and complex than that dedicated to the world of video games only, so much so that it earns a place in the ranking of the 100 books of the century according to the New York Times. The protagonists, Sam and Sadie are equally brilliant: they plan video gamemeet by children and will gravitate to each other for the rest of life. Through the act of creating the Zevin digital worlds it tells a lot about the real world, of violence, disparity, success and desire. An original and difficult to pitch reading, but precisely for this reason it deserves a place among the long books to read this year.

The yellow book

The prompter, Donato Carrisi

Longanesi

Among the most loved umbrella readings are the yellows, probably the only way to hear some shivers under the sun.

All apparently unrelated, but held together with skill by the author who leaves the reader with the breath suspended from the first to the last page.
