Prime Day Kindle deals include discounts on the Scribe, Paperwhite and Paperwhite Kids at up to 32 percent off
Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year is here and a few of the deals extend to Kindle ereaders. Unfortunately, the standard Kindle is currently out of stock, as are a few other models. That could be a hint that a new Kindle device is on the horizon, but we don't know anything for certain yet on that front. In our buying guide for ereaders, we acknowledge the fact that Amazon is the dominant force in this universe. But the even the most recent Kindle, the Kindle Scribe, is nearly two years old at this point. Now that Kindle rivals Kobo and Boox both have color models, one can only expect the same from Amazon soon. Still, unlike a tablet or a smartphone, Kindle readers are meant to do one thing well: display text on a distraction-free, easy-on-the-eyes screen. And all three of the models on sale do that quite well. Here are the best October Prime Day kindle deals (all three of them). October Prime Day 2024 Kindle deals Nathan Ingraham / Engadget Amazon Kindles dominate the ereader market, and right now there are four models to choose from. Of course, a new Kindle is likely on the horizon — rumors suggest as much and the last entry in the lineup came over two years ago. But since ereaders aren't as tech-heavy as a tablet, the generational bump may not make as much difference. What you buy today should still serve its basic function —displaying crisp text — for years to come. Here are the best Prime Day Kindle deals. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for $125 ($25 off): The Paperwhite is an upgraded Kindle, adding a larger display, an adjustable warm light and a waterproof build. The flush-front screen makes page turns easier and a faster processor makes that action speedier, too. Amazon Kindle Scribe for $255 ($85 off): You can write as well as read with this tablet. It has a large 10.2-inch display, auto-adjusting warm front light and an auto-rotating display. It comes with the Basic pen so you can use the notebook feature that even converts handwriting to text. October Prime Day 2024 Kindle Kids deals Amazon Kindles geared towards kids are basically the same thing as their “adult” counterparts, but these come with a cover, extended warranty and a free trial of Amazon Kids+ that lets youngsters access kid-friendly audiobooks, stories and more. Plus they don’t have ads on the lock screen (Amazon makes you pay $20 for that concession on the standard devices). Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids for $115 ($55 off): The kids edition of the upgraded Paperwhite ereader has a flush-front design, waterproof build and warm front lights for late-night reading. It comes with a cover, a two-year warranty and a year of the kids subscription. Expired Prime Day deals Amazon Kindle for $80 ($20 off): The base-model ereader is our pick for the best budget ereader you can buy. It’s got a clear, 300-ppi screen, long battery life and a display that’s easy to customize to your reading preferences.
