Best Prime Day Kindle deals to shop in October 2024

Surprise, surprise: another Prime Day is almost here. Though we just had a Prime Day sale in July, Amazon is hosting its Prime Big Deal Days event on Oct. 8-9, ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. If you’re in the market for a new e-reader for yourself or your loved one (or you’re already getting a start on holiday shopping — kudos to you), now could be the time to buy a Kindle. 

Also: The best October Prime Day deals you can shop right now

Not every Kindle deal is worth your while, and I’ll do my best to highlight the ones that are during this October Prime Day. However, a deals event like Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to buy a Kindle. While we wait for the official deals to take shape next week, peruse these deals on certain models, Kindle accessories, and even some dupes from Amazon Fire and Kobo Clara below.

If you’re in the market for the Kindle Scribe and would like the adapter and a leather cover included in your purchase, this bundle cuts down the price by $140. Draw, take notes, and annotate your favorite novels with the Scribe. I sort through a lot of Kindle discounts during deals days like Prime Day and Cyber Week, and in my opinion, this is one of those Prime Day deals that is actually worth pouncing on.

For $20, you can grab this protective, fabric case that will go over your Kindle Paperwhite. There are three colors this case comes in, but the slate gray colorway is on sale for the lowest price. This case is foldable, lightweight, and water-safe.

My top 3 Prime Day Kindle deals from July

Many of the Kindle deals worth buying aren’t available yet, and we can keep an eye out for the best deals to go live on Oct. 8 and 9, during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event.

FAQs

When is Amazon’s October Prime Day 2024? 

Amazon’s October Prime Day takes place on Oct. 8 and 9, though you can expect some products to be discounted a few days ahead of and after the deals event. 

Are Kindles really cheaper on Prime Day? 

For some Kindle products, 100% yes. We’ve seen Amazon slash the prices on Kindle Scribes and other models during its Prime Day deals events in the past. Your best bet is to buy one during these events when the deals are more substantial. Throughout the event, we’ll call out when a deal is rare and when it’s middling. 

Is Kindle Unlimited free with Amazon Prime? 

No. Kindle runs an offer where you can get a few months free to try out Kindle Unlimited, but after your trial period ends the cost goes up to $12 a month. 

How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
