There’s no doubt that a new Kindle is coming soon. The newest model, Kindle Scribe, was introduced nearly two years ago. And with other e-reader companies like Kobo and Boox now offering color models, Amazon is no doubt hoping to catch up. But at its core, an e-reader is a way to read the words on a page. All current Kindle models have a 300 dpi screen, which is standard and makes text look nice and crisp. Additionally, unlike smartphones and tablets, e-reader updates don’t come with tons of new features that can make older models feel outdated.
That means the Kindle you bought during the October 2024 Prime Day sale should keep you reading for years to come. Here are the best Prime Day deals you can get on Kindle e-readers.

Amazon Kindle dominates the e-reader market and currently has four models to choose from. Of course, there’s a good chance we’ll see a new Kindle. Rumors suggest as much, and the last entry in the lineup was launched over two years ago. However, e-readers are not as technology-intensive as tablets, so the generational difference may not make as much of a difference. What you buy today should perform its basic function (displaying crisp text) for years to come. Here are the best Prime Day Kindle deals.
Amazon Kindle for $80 ($20 off): The base model e-reader is our pick for the best e-reader you can buy on a budget. It features a crisp 300 ppi screen, long battery life, and a display that’s easy to customize to suit your reading preferences.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for $125 ($25 off): Paperwhite is an upgraded Kindle that adds a larger display, adjustable warm light, and waterproof construction. The flash front screen makes page turning easier, and the faster processor makes it even faster.
Amazon Kindle Scribe $255 ($85 off): With this tablet, you can write as well as read. It features a large 10.2-inch display, auto-adjustable warm front light, and auto-rotating display. It comes with a Basic pen so you can use the Notes feature to convert your handwriting into text.
