The much-anticipated Black Friday deals are finally here, and this may be the perfect time to grab a Kindle for a steal-deal price. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a more versatile Kindle Paperwhite or are simply trying to snag one of those essential bundles for a dirt-cheap price, we’ve handpicked a list of the best Kindle deals to choose from. So, without any further ado, let’s take a look!
1. Amazon Kindle 11th Gen
Not too long ago, the entry-level Kindle 11th Gen was refreshed with some subtle improvements and is now at its all-time low price already. The entry-level Kindle has always stuck to the boring Black shade, but this time around, we get to see it adorn a new Matcha green color, which is a stunner.
Additionally, it retains its predecessor’s super useful 300PPI 6-inch anti-glare display with an adjustable front light. However, the 2024 Kindle 11th Gen features a more contrasty panel which highlights those blacks a bit more than the previous generations, making it slightly easier on the eyes. Besides, there’s also 16GB of storage to store thousands of books.
There’s not been any upgrades on the battery front either, probably because it didn’t need so in the first place. You can still read your way through around six weeks on a single charge, which is always bonkers to think of.
There’s not been a price increase either, and is further lower actually, thanks to the ongoing Black Friday sale on Amazon and Best Buy. Usually, the Kindle 11th Gen 2024 goes for $110. However, the Amazon sale has brought it down to the lowest of $85. Overall, not only is it the first such offer that we’re seeing on the latest Kindle 11th Gen, but it’s also one of the best Black Friday Kindle deals that you shouldn’t miss out on!
2. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Being clumsy and having a habit of reading in the bathtub don’t go well together. If you fall into that category, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the way to go. Thanks to its IPX8 waterproof nature, this Kindle can stay immersed in up to 2 meters of water for up to 60 minutes. Besides, if you want a slightly bigger display, the 7-inch panel on this one will be more comfortable.
What sets the Kindle Paperwhite apart from the entry-level variant is that it also features an adjustable warm light in addition to the front light. So, for all you insomniac bookworms who can’t stop turning those pages, it will certainly be a welcome relief. You also get the more vibrant Jade and Raspberry color options to choose from apart from the vanilla Black.
Thanks to the ongoing Black Friday sale on Amazon, the Kindle Paperwhite is down to $130, straight from its usual $160, which is $30 off!
3. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition
Now, if you are very enticed by the Kindle Paperwhite but want a few more features to that model, the Signature Edition should be your choice. However, these are not just your regular run-off-the-mill upgrades. For starters, you get an automatically adjusting front light. While it may be a little too overused on your smartphone, E-ink displays backed by it are rather uncommon.
Secondly, there’s wireless charging on the Paperwhite Signature Edition for when you don’t want to carry those entangling wires everywhere. There’s also 32GB of memory, up from 16GB, for just around $16 more. The Signature Edition is a true Kindle as it won’t pester you with ads on the lock screen either.
Normally, the price difference between the standard and Signature Edition is around $40, as the latter costs $200. However, this Black Friday deal on this Kindle slashes it by $45, which is very impressive.
4. Amazon Kindle Kids
As the moniker suggests, if you’re looking to buy a solid Kindle for your kid, your search probably ends here. The Kindle Kids is just a special edition of the regular Kindle 11th Gen, which is the perfect reading companion for children. What sets it apart from the regular version is that it’s backed by a 2-year replacement guarantee, no questions asked.
Further, the Amazon Kindle Kids also comes with six months of complimentary Amazon Kids+ subscription. Think of it as Kindle Unlimited but for children. Moreover, the Kids edition comes with a good-quality cover right out of the box. You can choose from the Ocean Explorer, Space Whale, and Unicorn Valley color variants.
While the 6-inch display remains the same, it’s around 25% brighter in the maximum setting, which is quite nice. There’s also a Parent Dashboard feature that lets you transfer books from your account to your kid’s, adjust reading age filters, set bedtime as well as view reading progress.
This awesome Black Friday deal on the Kindle Kids edition makes it an excellent way to develop a good reading habit in your child. What makes it all the more enticing is that it’s down from its normal $130 asking price to just $95, which is $35 off.
5. Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Essentials Bundle
Not too long ago, Kindle made the dreams of all avid page-turners come true by introducing its very first color model. The new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is just the Kindle Paperwhite SE, but more colorful. There’s the same 7-inch vibrant display in here as well, which is backed by 300 PPI of crisp and clear text. However, do note that this drops to 150 PPI when viewing colors.
Besides, you can always shift between the Standard and Vivid color options, as per your preference. There are 12 bright white LEDs and 13 amber LEDs, for you to make use of that front and warm light. Additionally, the Kindle Colorsoft borrows the useful auto brightness mode as well.
Being a new product, just the Kindle Colorsoft barely has any good deals on it. However, there’s this sneaky Essentials Bundle on Amazon that has received a price cut. Normally, the Kindle Colorsoft SE Essentials Bundle goes for a pricey $363.
However, the significant price cut has brought it down to $328. For the price, you get to enjoy a nice color-matched plant-based leather cover and a wireless charging dock alongside the e-reader itself. Easily, one of the best Black Friday Kindle deals to consider.
6. Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle
The Kindle Scribe is for those who like to not just read, but also are into equal amounts of scribbling. If you can relate to that all too much, you shouldn’t miss out on the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle that’s on offer. The Scribe’s massive 10.2-inch display fits a lot more words than any of the other Kindles. Besides, this too is backed by a pixel density of 300 PPI, keeping any compromises at bay.
Moreover, to make your scribbles come to life, there’s an in-built pen that will never require charging. There are a total of 35 LEDs powering the E-ink display, alongside an adjustable warm light to top it all off. The Essentials Bundle also packs a premium plant-based leather folio case along with a 9W power adapter.
There’s also some AI in here, which lets you refine and summarize your notes. All of that for a discounted price of $480, right from $540, makes this a must-grab Black Friday Kindle deal!
Well, that brings us to the end of this curated list of the best Black Friday Kindle deals. Sadly, the high-end Kindle Oasis hasn’t seen an attractive offer yet. However, if and when the deal goes live, we’ll update you right here! With that said, see you in the next one.
