It’s no secret that Amazon sells some of the most popular e-readers on the market.

And now that Prime Day 2024 is here, they’re even more attractive buys, as many of them are heavily discounted.

To make your life easier, we’ve rounded up the best deals on everything from the entry-level Kindle to the note-taking Kindle Scribe. We’ve also added deals on kid-friendly variants and bundles, so you don’t have to scour Amazon for them. And remember: if you’re looking to save money on other devices, be sure to also check out our more comprehensive guide to the best Amazon Prime Day deals you can get right now.

The six inch Entry-level Kindle The Kindle offers great value for money, which is why it’s my favorite budget e-reader on the market. It’s a significant improvement over its 2019 predecessor, with features like a crisp 300 ppi display and fast performance that’s hard to find on e-readers in this price range. In addition to good battery life, the Kindle also has a USB-C port for relatively fast charging and 16GB of storage so you can store as many e-books as you want.

Right now, you can buy the ad-supported Kindle with three months of Kindle Unlimited included for $84.99 ($15 off) on Amazon, $10 off its all-time low price. You can also buy it with ads, a power adapter, and a fabric cover starting at $108.97 ($41 off).

If you’re looking to buy an e-reader for a child under 12, the Kindle Kids might be the best option. It’s identical to the standard Kindle, but it’s ad-free and comes with optional parental controls. It also includes a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, which gives kids access to thousands of kid-friendly games, videos, and books, as well as a case and a two-year extended replacement warranty.

Right now, Amazon is selling the Kindle for Kids for $99.99 ($20 off), which is $20 off its all-time low price of $79.99.

From a crisp display to USB-C, the 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite Amazon offers all the features that make the Kindle great and then some. It’s my favorite Amazon e-reader for that reason, with extras like IPX8 waterproofing, adjustable warm white lighting on the front, and a battery life that can last for months making it a great all-around option. Right now, you can buy the Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB of storage and ads for $134.99 , which is far from its all-time low price of $99.99 but still one of its best prices in recent months. Amazon also offers the 16GB Paperwhite with a power adapter and your choice of a fabric cover for $164.97 ($30 off), a leather cover for $171.97 ($30 off), or the 8GB model with a “cork” cover for $189.97 ($20 off).

Amazon is also offering a discount on the ad-free Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. The e-reader is identical to the Paperwhite but adds Qi wireless charging, a sensor that automatically adjusts the backlight when needed, and 32GB of storage. It’s on sale for $179.99 ($10 off), which is a far cry from its all-time low price of $129.99, but again one of the few discounts we’ve seen in recent months.

Finally, Amazon is offering a discount on the kids’ version of the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is identical to the Kindle Paperwhite, but like the Kindle Kids, it’s ad-free and comes with a kid-friendly cover, a two-year extended replacement warranty, optional parental controls, and one year of Amazon Kids Plus. You can buy it on sale for $149.99. While it’s $30 off its best price yet, the deal is decent considering we haven’t seen the model go on sale as often as we have this year.

If you are someone who likes to take notes while reading, the ad-free book Kindle Scribe It might be worth a look. With its crisp 10.2-inch screen, it’s the largest in the Kindle lineup and the only one with a stylus that you can use to annotate books or take notes in its built-in virtual notebooks.

In all honesty, this isn’t my favorite e-reader for taking notes. That honor goes to the more capable Kobo Elipsa 2E. Still, the Scribe has come a long way since its launch, as Amazon regularly releases software updates. Over the past year, for example, Amazon has added the ability to convert handwriting to typed text (to some extent), write directly on the pages of some Kindle titles, and expanded the selection of pen styles, making the e-reader a much more appealing purchase.

The 16GB Kindle Scribe normally starts at $339.99, but you can currently buy it with three months of Kindle Unlimited on Amazon for $234.99. That’s a new all-time low price for the note-taking e-reader. Amazon is also discounting various bundles, offering the 16GB Kindle Scribe with a leather cover and power adapter for $281.97 ($168 off). You can also buy a bundle that includes the Premium Stylus (which offers a built-in eraser and shortcut button), leather cover, and power adapter for $419.97 ($60 off).
