Amazon's Prime Day Kindle deals, which happen every summer and fall, plus other sale events like Black Friday, always offer the best prices. While Amazon's summer Prime Days were in July in previous years, this year they arrived early, in June, and will run for almost a full week from June 23 until June 26.Any day during that sale is a great one to claim your own new Kindle e-reader from Amazon.
The on-sale Kindles usually don't sell out, but if there's a specific color or storage size you want, you might want to snap that up early in case that specific version does sell out for a little bit. The newest Kindle Scribes (including the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft!) also went on sale, which I'm thrilled to see since they have such a hefty price tag compared to older models. Here are the best Kindles that are on sale right now, plus some great on-sale Kindle accessories if you already have an Amazon e-reader of your own.Also be sure to browse our roundup of the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals, or dip into our Amazon Prime Day live blog for real-time updates.Updated 3 PM EST, June 24: We've added the Kindle Scribe (3rd Generation), Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, and a handful of on-sale Kindle accessories we recommend.Best Prime Day Kindle DealsPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellCourtesy of AmazonSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Paperwhite (2024, 12th Generation)$160 $125 (22% off) Amazon$200 $145 (28% off) Amazon (Signature)If you want the best e-reader Amazon makes, it's the Kindle Paperwhite.
It has a 7-inch screen that's illuminated by an adjustable warm front light, and a battery life that lasts up to 12 weeks. The screen is only black-and-white, but it's got great contrast and snappy performance, and the sale price makes it a great deal. Both a Signature and a regular version are on sale, and the Signature adds an auto-adjusting front light and wireless charging.Photograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellCourtesy of AmazonSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature Edition$250 $160 (36% off) Amazon (Colorsoft)$280 $220 (21% off) Amazon (Colorsoft Signature Edition)If you want to use Amazon Prime Day pricing to get a colorful Kindle for cheaper, then look no further than the Kindle Colorsoft's sale.
This colorful e-reader has a fun, albeit muted, color screen that you won't find on other Kindle devices besides the Kids version of this device (more on that below) and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. I do wish it had more features for the price point, like page-turner buttons, but Amazon recently added a true Dark Mode to the device at least. But that's what makes buying a Colorsoft on sale the right move versus paying full price.Both the regular and Signature versions are on sale for the Colorsoft, and the Signature version has the same benefits as the Paperwhite, with wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light added.
Both versions of the Colorsoft are ad-free, too.Photograph: Nena FarrellCourtesy of AmazonSave to wishlistAmazonKindle (2024, 11th Gen)$110 $85 (23% off) AmazonWant a Kindle for under $100? This sale is the one to jump on. The 11th-generation Kindle is a little smaller than the Paperwhite and Colorsoft, with a 6-inch screen, and it doesn't have the warm front light.
It's otherwise plenty powerful and snappy, especially for the price, and is the only Kindle to come in this fun matcha green color.Photograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Scribe (3rd Generation)$500 $380 (24% off) Amazon (32 GB)$550 $420 (24% off) Amazon (64 GB)The Kindle Scribe, which is part e-reader and part digital notetaker, got its third update late last year. The third-generation Scribe has a new homepage design, bigger screen, and new connectivity and AI features compared to the older model. You're able to connect to Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive with the third-gen model, something that is really useful if you want to annotate and edit documents, but I do think the AI features are all a pass for me.
It's a bummer how much higher the price tag is likely due to the AI components, but while it's on sale it's much more worth the additions.Photograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Scribe Colorsoft$630 $480 (24% off) Amazon (32 GB)$680 $520 (24% off) Amazon (64 GB)$630 Best Buy (32 GB)Amazon launched its first color version of the Kindle Scribe last year in tandem with the third-generation Scribe. The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft has all of the features the newest Scribe has, but adds a color screen—and a hefty price tag with said color screen. This Prime Day price makes it much more manageable of a purchase.
The colors are muted but still eye catching and fun to use, especially if you like color-coding your reading highlights or your notes.Courtesy of AmazonPhotograph: Adrienne SoSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Kids$130 $100 (23% off) Amazon (Kids Kindle)$180 $140 (22% off) Amazon (Paperwhite Kids)For kids who love to read, there’s a Kindle made with them in mind. Amazon’s Kindle Kids takes a Kindle and gives it a few kiddo-focused bonuses: kid-focused content and protection. Each Kindle Kids includes six months of Kids+, a subscription full of books designed for kids aged 3 to 12, giving plenty of reading options right away.Photograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Colorsoft Kids$270 $180 (33% off) Amazon$270 $180 (33% off) AmazonPhotograph: Adrienne SoCourtesy of AmazonSave to wishlistAmazonKindle Paperwhite Kids (2024, 12th Generation)$180 $140 (22% off) AmazonAmazon also has a specific Kids version of both its Paperwhite and Colorsoft Kindles that are currently on sale.
Both come with a fun cover and Amazon Kids+ content, but the Paperwhite Kids has six months of that content, while the Colorsoft Kids has a full year. The color screen is a great option for kids reading graphic novels and illustrated stories.The Best Kindle Accessory DealsPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistLamicallTablet Pillow Stand Holder$46 $35 (24% off) AmazonI love this stand. In whatever position you might need it in, it'll easily hold up your Kindle (or other e-readers and tablets) while you read.
There's two large compartments built into it, and I liked putting my tea mug in one and my phone in the other. There's no way to remove and clean the compartments, so I wouldn't pour a pile of crackers in here, but a bagged snack would be a great addition. I especially like it in tandem with a page turner, like the one down below.Photograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistHighgoRemote Control Page Turner for Kindle$16 $14 (13% off) AmazonThe cool Kindle kids are using page turners.
Kindle doesn't have dedicated page turner buttons like Kobo, but you can use these third-party models to get around that problem. One part sit on the Kindle and taps the screen to turn the page, while the remote part sits in your hand.Photograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistAnkerWireless Charging Dock for Kindle$45 $30 (33% off) AmazonKindles don't need to be charged that often, but this wireless charging stand is both a great way to keep your Kindle fully charged if you have a Signature model with wireless charging. It's a much nicer addition to my desk and bedside table compared to another USB-C cord floating around, tangling itself in my glasses each night.Photograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellSave to wishlistPopSocketsNightshade PopGrip$30 $26 (13% off) Amazon (MagSafe)$30 PopSocketsI love a good PopGrip for a Kindle case.
I especially appreciate this Nightshade option, but several colors are on sale on both PopSockets and Amazon's website for Prime Day. If you choose a magnetic design, make sure you have a Kindle case with a MagSafe adapter or attach the adapter it comes with onto your case. The Kindle will react to the magnets when you snap them on and off, acting like a case that turns on or off.
You can also use a sticky backing, which is a cheaper method.Power up with unlimited access to WIRED. Get best-in-class reporting and exclusive subscriber content that's too important to ignore. Subscribe Today.
