Amazon Prime Day 2024 is in full swing, and as expected, the online retailer is offering some seriously steep discounts on tech gadgets like Apple AirPods and robot vacuums. But the device deals we're most excited about? Kindles, now down marked down to some of their lowest prices ever. Prime Day ends tonight, July 17, at midnight PST (!!!) so these discounts won't be around much longer.
There's truly no better time to splurge on a new Kindle, particularly if you've been eyeing the Kindle Scribe. It's currently on sale for $235, which is the cheapest we've ever seen it! And the deals don't stop there. Keep reading for everything you need to know about this year's incredible Prime Day Kindle deals and how to score them before the sale ends in mere hours.
Is Kindle on sale during Amazon Prime Day?
Yes, yes, and yes. Kindles are on sale during Amazon Prime Day 2024. We expect prices to increase as soon as the sale wraps tonight, July 17, at midnight PST, so you'll want to shop this ASAP to ensure you snag the lowest price possible.
The best Kindle deal of Prime Day 2024 is undoubtedly this amazing price drop on the Kindle Scribe, which doubles as an e-reader and a digital notebook. You can grab the do-it-all device for just $235, the lowest price it's ever been at. Upgrade to this Kindle Scribe bundle, and you'll score a leather Kindle cover, pen, and charger for 38% off.
With this version (aka the most affordable Kindle), you're getting all the great features of the Amazon e-reader for just $85. This model has a 6-inch screen, 16GB of storage for all your favorite reads, and comes in a classic black or denim blue finish. It's a lightweight reader that will last up to six weeks on a single charge, meaning you'll be able to flip through your digital pages all vacation long. This Kindle connects to WiFi for access to the Kindle Store and lets you read downloaded books while offline.
The Kindle Paperwhite is a step up in screen size, with a 6.8-inch screen to read off of. Same goes for the battery, which should last you up to 10 weeks on a single charge. It has an adjustable warm light built into the screen so you can switch from white to an amber light that's a bit easier on the eyes. It's also IPX8 water-resistant rated, so it's a great pool or beachside pick. Shop right now, and you can save $15.
Sticking to the same 6.8-inch screen, the Paperwhite Signature Edition has everything the Paperwhite Edition offers, and then some. The device is wireless charging enabled, features an auto-adjusting front light, and a whopping 32GB of storage. The front light will automatically adjust based on the lighting of the space you're reading in, and you can even schedule lighting changes (nighttime readers, that one is for you!). It's not the best Kindle deal of Prime Day 2024, but you'll still save $10 if you're set on this particular model.
For the little one with a summer reading list, the $100 Kindle Kids can come in handy. A single charge should keep the device powered for up to six weeks, and your purchase comes with a Kindle cover, a year-long subscription to Amazon Kids, and a two-year warranty. You'll also have access to the Parent Dashboard, where you can check their average reading times and set goals.
Does Prime Day have Kindle Unlimited deals?
Now here's where we can say a resounding yes. Like Prime Days past, Amazon is offering a stellar deal on Kindle Unlimited subscriptions. Right now, you can score your first three months free—yes, free! After that, it'll go back to the regular price of $11.99 per month.
Kindle Unlimited subscribers get unlimited reading and listening hours. Not too shabby when Amazon's library has over 4 million books to choose from. Plus, you'll get access to magazine subscriptions and thousands of audiobooks. A book lover's dream, if I do say so myself.
