Here are the best Kindle deals right now
You can get a second-gen (but still worthy) Kindle Scribe for a considerable discount.
When it comes to finding a device to read ebooks, you have a few options to choose from. You can always buy a tablet or use your phone, but those devices are multipurpose and can be used for a ton of things, like surfing the web or doomscrolling on X or Bluesky. If you are looking for something to strictly read books, e-readers, while niche, are designed to store all of your books in a virtual library with limited functionality.
Amazon, one of the pioneers of the e-reader, has dominated the space for years with its ever-expanding Kindle lineup, which consists of several unique models with their own pros and cons. The bulk of the devices function as simple ebook readers; however, with the Kindle Scribe, Amazon is moving beyond books and into the realm of writing — something that should make future Kindles function more akin to physical paper.
In fact, two new Scribes have just hit the market: a snazzy color model called the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and a black-and-white mid-tier model called the Amazon Kindle Scribe 32GB. A new entry-level Scribe without a front light will also be available soon, though Amazon has yet to provide a specific release date.
Meanwhile, many of Amazon’s last-gen e-readers are still available (and at nice discounts).
The best Kindle (2024) deals What does it mean when a Kindle is “ad-supported”?Amazon Kindle e-readers come in different storage configurations, but there is also an additional option that allows you to buy the e-reader with or without ads. Ad-supported Kindles will display personalized advertisements on the lock screen when in sleep mode or at the bottom of the homescreen when the device is connected to Wi-Fi. Typically, you save about $20 by buying the ad-supported version, but if you decide to remove ads later, you can make a one-time payment to cover the difference.
The most recent entry-level Kindle — which starts at an MSRP of $109.99 — was introduced in 2024. It boasts a bright 94-nit display, fine contrast levels, and slightly faster page turns than the 2022 version. It also comes in a “matcha” green, just in case you’re not a fan of the default black color. Otherwise, though, it’s nearly identical to its predecessor, with the same six-inch 300ppi screen, support for USB-C, and 16GB of base storage.
In the past, Amazon’s ad-supported Kindle has dropped to as low as $79.99 ($30 off) with three months of Kindle Unlimited. Right now, you can buy the base-model Kindle at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for $89.99 ($20 off), which is a pretty good discount.
Kindle (2024) Amazon’s most recent entry-level Kindle features a 6-inch, 300ppi display, support for USB-C charging, and up to six weeks of battery life. It’s also brighter than previous models and offers noticeably faster performance.

The best Kindle Kids (2024) deals
Amazon also updated its kid-friendly Kindle in late 2024. The latest Kindle Kids is identical to the standard model but comes with several accessories and provides age-appropriate content for younger readers who prefer digital books. Like the last-gen Kindle Kids, the latest model retails for $20 more than the base model, bringing the MSRP to $129.99.
In terms of add-ons, the newest Kindle Kids edition consists of four items: the device, a protective case, a two-year extended replacement guarantee (in the event the device breaks), and six months of Amazon Kids Plus. The last feature is the biggest selling point of the device aside from the kid-friendly patterns and lack of ads, as it allows parents to grant their child access to games, videos, and books — including those in the Percy Jackson and Harry Potter series — at no additional cost.
Previously, we’ve seen the latest Kindle Kids sell for as low as $94.99 ($35 off). Right now, however, you can only pick it up at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target at its full price of $129.99.

The best Kindle Paperwhite (2024) deals
The latest Kindle Paperwhite, which launched in 2024, is Amazon’s 12th-gen model. Considering it’s one of the company’s higher-end configurations, it offers all the features found in the entry-level Kindle, including USB-C charging and a crisp 300ppi display. It’s noticeably faster than Amazon’s base ebook reader and features IPX8 waterproofing, a larger seven-inch display, and longer battery life.
During events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we’ve seen the standard Paperwhite drop to as low as $124.99. Sadly, the standalone model is currently only available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target starting at $159.99 (its full retail price).

The best Kindle Scribe (2025) deals
The third-gen Kindle Scribe, which launched late last year, is even bigger than its 10.2-inch predecessor. It offers an 11-inch display with 300ppi resolution, 32GB of storage, and the same great battery life for which Kindles are known. What separates the Scribe from other Kindles is that it comes with a stylus, which can be used to jot down notes or doodle in the ebook reader’s built-in notebook. With the last Scribe, Amazon introduced a new Active Canvas feature — letting you scribble notes directly on ebook pages — as well as a suite of AI-powered features that can summarize your notes and refine your handwriting. The latest version adds a Premium Pen, a front light, and slimmer bezels than its second-gen cousin.
Amazon’s third-gen Scribe is currently selling for $499.99 at Amazon, which is the typical MSRP. A less expensive version should also be available soon; it drops storage to 16GB and removes the front light, but still includes the premium pen. It will be priced at $429.99 at launch.

The recently launched Kindle Scribe Colorsoft adds color to the mix, while offering the same dimensions as the third-gen Scribe, along with front lighting, the ability to take and upload notes, and great battery life. However, our reviewer noted that the colors aren’t particularly vibrant and that there’s minimal ghosting. She also found the device’s thinness somewhat limiting, making it more challenging to use in certain situations, such as one-handed bus riding. The new Scribe Colorsoft comes with 32GB of storage for $629.99; if you want 64GB, it will run you $679.99.

The best Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition deals
Toward the end of 2024, Amazon announced its first color e-reader, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition. Like the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, it boasts a seven-inch display with a crisp 300ppi resolution, IPX8 water resistance, wireless charging, and 32GB of storage. However, unlike the Paperwhite, the e-reader offers a color mode, which cuts the resolution in half. Thankfully, it’s still vibrant for a color E-Ink screen despite the lower resolution, rendering it particularly ideal for reading comic books and manga.
More recently, Amazon introduced a cheaper Colorsoft, one that comes with only 16GB of storage. It lacks wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light, but it’s otherwise identical to the first-gen model. The 16GB model has a full retail price of $249.99; it went down to $169.99 on Black Friday, though you can still get it now for $199.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The 32GB Signature Edition, meanwhile, is only available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for its usual asking price of $279.99.
That said, you can save some money at Amazon on the step-up model if you buy it as part of a bundle for $327.97 ($53 off), which nets you a wireless charging dock and plant-based leather cover in black, pink, or green. If you want a more premium experience, Amazon also sells it with a leather cover in red or black for $349.97 ($35 off).
