The best Prime Day Kindle deals on Amazon’s ereaders

Amazon Kindle is the cream of the crop in the e-reader department, but if you were to ask our tech editor Rick Broida (I did, by the way), the 11th-generation Paperwhite is actually the best there is. It has a larger screen than the baseline Kindle, a "warmth slider" for nighttime reading and up to 10 weeks of battery life — need I say more?

The Kindle Paperwhite Kids also comes with a case, a year membership to Amazon Kids+ and the extended warranty, but this model has the waterproof, flush-front, 6.8-inch display of the Paperwhite model at its core. For Prime Day, it’s down to $150 instead of the $170 list price.

Our favorite budget ereader is Amazon’s standard Kindle and, thanks to Prime Day, it’s dropped to $85 from its $100 list price. The lowest we tracked previously was $65 for the Prime event last July.

The 2022 generation is the most recent release for the base model and it comes with 16GB of storage, which should be enough room for thousands of books. The battery lasts for weeks at a time and grants access to Amazon’s Kindle library as well as free ebooks from your local library.

Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite Signature earned high praise in our review when it came out back in 2021. For Prime Day, the price has dropped from $190 to $180. Like the Paperwhite, this 6.8-inch ebook reader is waterproof and has a warm front light. The Signature edition adds in wireless charging, an automatically adjusting light and more storage at 32GB. We particularly liked the thin bezels, responsive screen and premium feel.

The Kindle Scribe is now discounted to $235 for Prime Day. It’s usually $340 for the 16GB size with the Basic pen. This is the only Kindle that supports a stylus, and it’s our top pick for an E-Ink tablet and ereader combo.

When the reader came out in 2022, we gave it a review score of 85. We like the nearly non-existent stylus latency, the roomy 10-inch display and the premium build.

The Amazon Kindle Kids is essentially the basic Kindle ereader with a few additional perks, such as an included case, an extended two-year warranty and one year of access to the audio and ebook library contained within Amazon Kids+ (which will renew at $6 per month after a year if you don’t cancel). It’s usually $120 but has gone as low as $75 during previous Prime Day sales. Right now, it’s down to $100.
