Amazon Prime Day is over a week away, but the deals have already started rolling in. If you're a reader looking to finally make the jump to e-readers, or you already have a Kindle in need of an upgrade, we've got good news for you: Some Prime Day Kindle deals are already live ahead of the official day. A lot of deals are yet to come as we inch closer to Prime Day, but if you're in a hurry to get a Kindle right away, you can still save some cash with the active deals right now. Apple's iPads are also discounted right now, and so are some other tablets if you want a device for more than reading.
As much as we love the feel of physical books, a Kindle just makes more sense nowadays, especially if you like to read on the go, read between books before you finish them, or have a back-up book on deck. If you're going through books too quickly, an e-reader that can store hundreds of books, while being easy on your eyes and not needing to be plugged in all the time might be the ideal option for you.
There hasn't been a new Kindle model since the 2022 entry-level Amazon Kindle refresh, so we'd love to expect greater discounts than ever before. However, we saw the lowest price ever on the Kindle Paperwhite last Prime Day, and then smaller discounts for Amazon's October Prime Day and Black Friday. So, we're not expecting record-low prices this summer — at least not on the Kindle Paperwhite. While the discounts on all of the Kindle models haven't been unveiled just yet, here are the best Prime Day Kindle deals you can get right this moment.
Best overall Kindle deal
Why we like it
Prime Day will bring more Kindle deals, but this Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle is the biggest discount you can get on a Kindle right now. The bundle includes the Kindle Scribe (2022 release), which otherwise starts at $339.99, for the 16GB configuration with a Basic Pen. This deal, instead, has the 64GB model with a Premium Pen, the Brush Print Leather Folio Cover with Magnetic Attach, and a power adapter bundled together for $329. It's a no-brainer if you've been considering the Scribe, but note that the expected shipping timelines says two to four months, so this may take some time to arrive, unlike this Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Essentials Bundle.
Best Kindle deal with bundled charger
Why we like it
This Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition bundle comes with the Kindle device, a fabric cover, and a wireless charging dock. Usually a $258 value, this bundle is currently $20 off. It's not the biggest discount, but the wireless dock will add a layer of conveniece to your Kindle experience, which means you're better off spending some cash to get this bundle instead of the standalone device. If you're looking for a Kindle for your kids, however, you can get $20 off on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids when you buy two.
Best Kindle deal for kids
Why we like it
This Kindle Paperwhite Kids is an excellent Kindle for kids, but if you've got two kids you want to gift a Kindle to, you can save $20 with this deal right now. The best part is that this Kindle doesn't get access to apps, videos, or games, making for a distraction-free reading device for your kids. You also get a cover.
