October Prime Day, or Prime Big Deal Days is over. During October Prime Day, which takes place on Oct. 7 and 8, Amazon sliced prices on household tech, electronics, and more — including Kindle devices, which often hit their lowest prices of the year during Prime Day sales. While most of the hot deals on top products, like the Paperwhite or Colorsoft, are no longer available, several deals remain. And if you don’t want to shop now, you can always wait a month until Cyber Week, when Amazon discounts all these products once again. Also: The best Kindles we’ve testedI’ve been an avid Kindle user for years, and I’ve witnessed Amazon discounting the e-readers during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Prime Day. October Prime Day is no different, with every single model getting a discount. Additionally, Amazon unveiled two new Kindles at its hardware event, so older and just-as-capable devices get discounts during the October Prime Day as a result of these newer product launches. My favorite Prime Day Kindle and e-reader deals More

When is October Prime Day 2025? October Prime Day (or Prime Big Deal Days) landed on Tuesday, Oct. 7, and runs through Wednesday, Oct. 8 this year. When is Black Friday? This year, Black Friday falls on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. Cyber Monday follows shortly after on Monday, Dec. 1. Are deals really cheaper on Prime Day? The legitimacy of Prime Day is a hotly debated topic every year. Prime Day does have some legit deals, usually on flagship Amazon products like Fire TVs, Echo devices, Kindles, and more. However, the best way to ensure you’re getting an actual deal is to prepare to shop for offers and use price tracking tools to make sure you don’t fall victim to brands marking up items to “discount’ them later. What are Lightning Deals?Amazon’s lightning deals are limited-time promotional offers on products. Often these products have limited quantities available at the discounted price. Once it’s 100% claimed, the offer becomes expired. Lightning deals typically last anywhere from 4-12 hours and can vary significantly. A status bar tells you how many Prime members have claimed a lightning deal. For example, here’s a live example of a lightning deal More

When was October Prime Day 2025? This year, Amazon’s October Prime Day sale happened on Oct. 7-8. The sale lasted two days and featured a range of deals on electronics, homeware, garden products, fashion, and more. Are Sam’s Club deals really cheaper on Prime Day? The US retailer is likely to launch its own deals or at least price match some of the sales, although this may only be available to Sam’s Club members. Still, it’s worth keeping an eye on for interesting promotions. How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?ZDNET authors only write about deals that interest us personally and include products that we own or want to buy. Our experts scour the market for deals that are at least 20% off (or are normally not on sale, as is often the case with Apple and other high-end devices), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal actually represents value for your money. We also reviewed customer reviews to learn what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we recommend.  More
