Prime Day is nearly here — again. This time, it comes in the form of October Prime Day, or Prime Big Deal Days. If you’re having trouble keeping track of the various Prime Days, you aren’t alone, but we’re here to make it easier. If you’re feeling shoppy and want to save some money on a big purchase, now might be the time to buy. During October Prime Day, which takes place on Oct. 7 and 8, Amazon is slicing prices on household tech, electronics, and more — including Kindle devices, which often hit their lowest prices of the year during Prime Day sales. Whether you’re eyeing the latest Kindle Scribe or the fan-favorite Paperwhite, these devices will surely be discounted during the two-day event. 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. We’ll see Amazon apply deals to its lineup of e-readers during the event, but while we wait for prices on Paperwhites and Scribes to drop, here are some discounts you can shop in the meantime. Additionally, Amazon unveiled two new Kindles at its hardware event so older and just-as-capable devices might get discounts during the October Prime Day as a result of these newer product launches. Also: The best deals to shop ahead of October Prime DayMy favorite Prime Day Kindle and e-reader deals More

When is October Prime Day 2025? This year, Amazon’s October Prime Day sale runs from October 7 to 8. The annual sale will last for two days in the fall, and you can expect to see a range of deals on household goods and electronics. Are Walmart products really cheaper on Prime Day? They can be! Ever since Black Friday first launched, online retailers have jumped on Amazon sales events to launch their own ‘anti-‘ sales events. If consumers are in the mood to shop, then retailers want a slice of the pie. As a result, expect to see sales, discounts, and flash deals from retailers, potentially including Walmart and Best Buy.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, have tested, or want to buy.

October is here, and Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is hours away from starting. The fall sale — also known as October Prime Day — runs from Oct. 7-8. We expect to see Apple deals available not just on Amazon, but also across other major US retailers looking to compete, including Best Buy and Walmart. And, considering Apple revealed the new iPhone 17 at the tech giant’s recent keynote, you can expect sales on legacy products, including older iPhones, the Apple Watch range, and AirPods, as retailers look to shift older stock. Also: The best Prime Day deals live nowI, along with other ZDNET authors, have covered Amazon’s sales events for years. We closely monitor popular product lines, including AirPods, iPhones, and iPads, and track any notable price changes in the lead-up to these events. While substantial discounts on Apple products are rare, this doesn’t mean you can’t save on your new device, especially when you know where to look.
